Vasectomy at UPNT: What to Expect, Benefits, and Expert Care

Picture This:

You’re savoring a rare moment of peace…
 Meanwhile:

  • One child is stuffing crackers into the DVD player,
  • Another is finger-painting the walls with yogurt,
  • And the toddler proudly tries to flush your phone down the toilet.

If the idea of adding another little whirlwind makes you pause, it might be time to consider a vasectomy.

At UPNT, our safe, straightforward procedure offers permanent contraception—giving you the freedom to focus on your current family adventures without unexpected surprises.

What Is a Vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure providing permanent male birth control. It involves blocking or cutting the vas deferens — the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra — preventing sperm from being present during ejaculation.
Key Facts:
  • Permanent Solution: for men sure they don’t want more children
  • Quick Procedure: Completed in 10–20 minutes under local anesthesia
  • Highly Effective: Over 99% success rate with appropriate follow-up semen testing
Important:
  • No effect: on testosterone levels or sexual performance
  • Minimal change in ejaculation volume (sperm makes up only about 10% of total volume)

How Does a Vasectomy Work?

  • Sperm Production continues normally in the testicles.
  • Vas deferens are cut or blocked, preventing sperm from entering the ejaculate.
  • Sperm are naturally reabsorbed by the body.

Post-Procedure Facts:
  • Sexual functions (libido, erections) stay normal.
  • Ejaculate volume remains nearly the same.
  • No increased risk of prostate cancer (based on studies published in The Journal of Urology and Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention).

Types of Vasectomy Procedures at UPNT

We offer two proven techniques:

Conventional Vasectomy

  • Small scrotal incisions
  • Severing and sealing the vas deferens
  • Closure with stitches or surgical glue

No-Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV)

  • Tiny puncture instead of incisions
  • Less bleeding and quicker healing
  • Availability may be limited (only certain UPNT specialists perform NSV)
  • 👉 Both methods are equally effective.
  • Discuss with your UPNT doctor to determine the most suitable option for you.

Preparing for Your Vasectomy

Before the Procedure:

  • Eat a light meal beforehand
  • Supportive underwear (optional) to minimize post-op discomfort
  • Medication Management: Follow your doctor's instructions, especially about blood thinners and anti-inflammatory drugs.
