Traditional methods use needle syringes to inject numbing medicine and scalpels to make cuts. We use a high-pressure jet spray to apply local anesthetic instantly to the skin, followed by a tiny central puncture. This eliminates sharp needles, reduces discomfort, and removes the need for stitches.

The actual vasectomy takes about fifteen minutes to complete. We ask that you plan to spend about forty-five minutes at our clinic overall to complete your check-in, initial clinical evaluation, and brief recovery.

Most patients describe the initial numbing spray as a quick pinch, similar to a rubber band snap. Because the tissue is fully numbed and we do not make surgical incisions, you should not feel any sharp pain during the process.

At our Michigan location, we charge a flat fee of $600 USD. The semen analysis kit is ordered through a national vendor for a fee of 50$ (Pvsa.org). At our Windsor clinic, the procedure is fully covered by OHIP for Ontario residents. For non-OHIP patients at our Windsor clinic, the flat fee is $600 CAD. These fees include the consultation, procedure, and follow-up.

No referral is required. You can contact our office directly to schedule your initial consultation and procedure if you are visiting our Michigan clinic. You do need a referral from your doctor for an appointment to the Ontario clinic.

Yes. We enforce a strict minimum age requirement of twenty-five years old. If you are under twenty-five, we cannot perform the procedure.

Please carefully shave your scrotum and the base of your penis the night before your appointment. You must also avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for seven days prior to your visit to reduce your risk of bleeding or bruising.

Yes. Because we only use a local spray anesthetic that does not cause drowsiness, most patients drive themselves home safely. However, we highly recommend bringing a driver if you feel particularly anxious or think you might feel lightheaded.

Most patients comfortably return to light desk work or sedentary office duties within two to three days. However, you must avoid heavy lifting, running, yard work, and strenuous sports for at least five days to ensure your body heals properly.

No. A vasectomy only blocks the pathway of your sperm. It has absolutely no effect on your hormone production, testosterone levels, sexual drive, ability to achieve an erection, or the physical sensation of an orgasm.

We recommend waiting at least two days, though many major clinical guidelines suggest waiting a full week. You can resume sexual activity once your initial soreness and local tenderness have fully resolved.b

No. Active sperm remain stored in your system above the blocked tubes. You must use alternative birth control until you complete a semen analysis twelve weeks after your procedure to confirm you are completely clear of sperm.

Mild bruising and skin discoloration are completely normal. The skin may turn black and blue a few days after your procedure and spread slightly before fading away. This is a standard part of the natural healing process.

You must view a vasectomy as a permanent decision. While surgical reversals are technically possible, they are highly complex, extremely expensive, and not covered by insurance. Success is never guaranteed.

About five percent of patients experience temporary swelling or aching weeks, or even months, after the procedure. This is a normal inflammatory response to your body recycling sperm. It is a common reaction and is safely managed with a short course of ibuprofen.
