Vasectomy Services Review

We are currently reviewing the vasectomy services in our area.

Vasectomy, also called male sterilisation, is a permanent method of contraception.
It’s a procedure that stops sperm cells being ejaculated from the penis during sex.
It can only be carried out on individuals that have testes.
It’s usually carried out under local anaesthetic and takes around 30 minutes. It’s common to feel some pain for 1 to 2 weeks afterwards.
Vasectomy is available on the NHS.
There is usually a waiting list.
It may be possible to reverse a vasectomy, but this does not always work. Reversal is not usually available on the NHS.
