First, the scrotum is disinfected. Then you will receive two injections on both sides of the skin of the scrotum or in the spermatic cord in the groin area.
Next, the surgeon makes a small incision in the anesthetized skin, freeing the vas deferens. A piece of both vas deferens is removed and the ends are tied off. Next, the ends are burned shut. Then the wounds are closed with sutures that dissolve on their own after about 2 weeks, so they do not need to be removed.
During the sterilization men procedure, you may experience a pulling and aching sensation, especially in the groin area because the vas deferens run through there.
Prior to the procedure, you will be mailed comprehensive precautionary instructions. Please follow these carefully and contact us immediately if you have any questions. contact us. This ensures that the procedure will not be unexpectedly cancelled or postponed.

You do not need to be sober for the procedure. After the procedure for Male Sterilization, you must wear tight underwear or swim trunks for at least 24 hours. Take 2 paracetamol beforehand.

Here are the aftercare instructions. Please follow them carefully to avoid any unnecessary complications. If you have any questions, please contact us at any time!
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.

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 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

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.
