Vasectomy FAQs

What is a vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a simple, permanent birth control method for men. It works by blocking the tubes (vas deferens) that carry sperm from the testicles, preventing sperm from mixing with semen and causing pregnancy.

Is a vasectomy painful?

Most men feel little to no pain. Some experience mild soreness in the groin or scrotum for a few days, but discomfort is typically minimal and short-lived.

What’s the recovery time?

Recovery is usually quick. Many patients have their vasectomy on a Friday and are back to work by Monday. Light activity is recommended for a few days.

Will a vasectomy affect my sex life?

No. A vasectomy doesn’t impact your sex drive, erections, or ability to ejaculate. Everything stays the same except the sperm count.

Is vasectomy covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. We accept all major insurers in the Fox Cities. If you have a high-deductible plan or are not covered for vasectomy, we offer a discounted cash price of $1,100.

Can a vasectomy be reversed?

It’s possible, but not guaranteed. Reversal involves a delicate surgery to reconnect the vas deferens, which is not always successful. It’s best to be certain before scheduling your procedure.
