Passing the decision not to have children (anymore) can be challenging and requires careful consideration. After this decision is made, the question arises, "Who takes responsibility for contraception?" Traditionally, this responsibility is often shouldered by the woman, through methods such as the IUD or the pill. These options require long-term use of hormones and can cause discomfort (over time).
There are alternatives, including the use of condoms, but these are often less effective and carry a higher risk of pregnancy. More and more men are choosing to do their part through sterilization for this reason, also called vasectomy. A vasectomy is a (virtually) permanent and effective solution.

Urologist
Dr. Afina Glas has been a urologist since 2008. She was trained at the AMC, VUMC and OLVG. Her specialization is reconstructive urology and prosthetics of penis, scrotum and urethra. She gained a lot of experience as a urologist in VUmc, Radboud UMC and since 2012 in the Zaans Medical Center in Zaandam. She has also been affiliated with Medisch Kliniek Velsen in Velsen-Noord since 2022, where she mainly performs surgical treatments of penis and scrotum, including sterilizations.
Each year, Dr. Afina Glas performs between 100-150 sterilizations. For a urologist, it is a relatively simple procedure, but she still finds it fun and challenging to do.
Each contact with a man who comes for sterilization is different and thus varied. "It's satisfying when someone comes off the table and says it was all okay and then goes home completely okay."
Dr. Afina Glas is registered in the BIG register under number 19049114901.

Sterilization men is a small and simple procedure. It is a very effective and reliable form of contraception.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and you can go home almost immediately. After at least three months and sperm approval (without live sperm), you don't need to think about contraception.
The procedure does not affect your libido at all and you still produce sperm, however without live sperm.
Your partner no longer has to use birth control with nasty hormones.
The procedure costs money once, but after that you won't have to spend money on a form of birth control for the rest of your life. Sterilization men's costs are one-time expenses that yield long-term savings

A vasectomy, also known as sterilization, is a way for a man to become infertile. The vas deferens are cut, burned shut and tied off. The vas deferens are cut, a piece of about 1 cm is taken out between them, the end of the vas deferens are burned shut, tied under and one side is covered with a membrane. This, over time, prevents the production of active sperm cells that can conceive a child.
It is a fairly simple procedure that is usually performed at an outpatient or independent clinic, under local anesthesia. If you take blood-thinning medication, it is important to tell your practitioner beforehand. Some medications may require temporary discontinuation.
As with any surgery, there are always risks involved. Risks are rare with a vasectomy, but may include infection, bleeding, or prolonged pain. Provided the treatment is performed by an experienced and certified physician, these risks are minimized. Following aftercare instructions after the procedure is also very important to reduce risks.
It is normal for the scrotum and/or the base of the penis to turn a little blue after the procedure. Also, some blood or fluid may come out of the wounds for about 2 weeks after surgery, depending on what you do. This is usually not something to worry about and often disappears on its own. Post-operative bleeding or infection of the wounds rarely happens.
After surgery, you may experience pain, often accompanied by a feeling of bruising in the testicles or pain while walking. This usually lasts only a few days.
Contact your doctor if you:
- Gets a fever (above 38.5 degrees)
- strong swelling of the scrotum occurs
- the wound continues to bleed (the bleeding does not stop or increases)
- there is extreme pain
Sometimes after the vasectomy, you may experience a feeling of accumulation, which can cause painful sensations before ejaculation. However, this rarely happens and is usually only for a short time. There is a also a very small chance that the ends of the vas deferens will grow back together and a passage - and thus fertility - will occur again. Even if the examination of the sperm sample shows that there are no sperm cells, it is still possible that you may become fertile again after a while. This happens in about 1-3 out of 10,000 patients. Sometimes sperm cells remain in the sperm sample even after surgery. In that case, your doctor may suggest re-sterilization, after consulting with you.
After surgery, you are not immediately infertile. In the first months after the operation, sperm cells that were still in the sperm ducts are released during ejaculation. Therefore, you should continue to use contraception during this period. After at least 20-30 ejaculations, spread over about 3 months after surgery, the sperm cells are usually gone. Do the semen analysis no earlier than 3 months. After this period, the semen sample will be examined.
Sterilization is not reimbursed from the basic health insurance package. If you have supplementary insurance, it is possible that part of the costs will be reimbursed. In that case, you will need an invoice with a DBC code, which we will provide to you. We advise you to check your policy carefully or contact your health insurance company if you have any questions.
A sterilization, also called a vasectomy is usually permanent, meaning it is difficult to reverse later. It is therefore a wise choice if you are sure you do not want to have children (again).
About 10% of men later regret this decision. Although recovery surgery is possible, the chances of becoming fertile again are about 85%. Still, this is no guarantee of having children.
A vasectomy/sterilization does not affect your sexual life, and you can ejaculate as usual even after the procedure. The surgery does not change how the penis works or how it feels when you ejaculate. After a vasectomy, the sperm cells, which are still made in the testicles, are broken down by the body. It is a safe form of contraception. However, it is important to know that a vasectomy does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, gonorrhea or syphilis. Therefore, it is still wise to use a condom if necessary.
This depends on your personal situation and whether you are sure you do not want children (anymore). Please discuss this in detail with our specialists before planning any surgery. In many cases, the surgery/vasectomy is irreversible.
A referral letter from your primary care physician is not necessary, but may be obtained.
The sterilization with us, costs 495 euros. This includes the sperm analysis needed after 3 months to check if the spay was successful. Also if desired a consultation beforehand or necessary aftercare is included in our price.
After the anesthesia wears off, the area around the scrotum and groin may feel painful. You can then take a painkiller, such as paracetamol (a maximum of 1000 mg 4 times a day).
There are some side effects after the procedure, as after any surgery:
- The surrounding skin may turn a little blue
- Some fluid or blood loss from the wounds, up to 2 weeks after surgery
- A sore and sore feeling for several days
- An oppressive feeling, for example, after ejaculation. This goes away by itself
For the first 2 days after surgery, it is important that you take it easy. Also, try to limit walking as much as possible. Also, during the first two weeks, it is not recommended to cycle, exercise, swim or do heavy lifting. 5 days after surgery, sexual intercourse is allowed again. Please note that there is a chance that your partner may become pregnant. Therefore, use contraception. You are not truly infertile until the semen analysis 3 months after surgery indicates that you are infertile.

Then the vasectomy is successful and the treatment is over.
Decrease
Before submitting the sample, it is important to have had no ejaculation for 2-3 days. It is also best to submit a sperm sample that is no more than 1-1.5 hours old. Don't forget to bring your ID.
How to deliver
Empty your bladder by urinating. After urinating, wash your penis thoroughly with water (without soap) and rinse well. Dry the penis with a clean towel. The sample must be obtained by masturbation. Interrupting intercourse is not suitable for obtaining semen because the first part of the semen will not be collected. It is important that the entire sample is collected in the special container you received from your practitioner. Incomplete samples cannot be analyzed.
Do not rinse the jar beforehand and do not use condoms because of spermicides. Seal the jar tightly and clearly write your name and date of birth on it.
Store the sample at room temperature, but never store it in the refrigerator! The sample should not cool down too much (not below room temperature), otherwise the measurement may become unreliable. For transport, it is best to store the sample in an inner bag.
If you have had a fever or have been sick within the last 3 months, postpone sperm testing until you are 3 months better.
