Our no-scalpel Vasectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to cut or seal the small tubes that carry a man’s sperm out of the testicles to permanently prevent pregnancy. It is widely regarded as a 99% effective method of male contraception.
Dr Emma CLinis self-pay private patients seeking a Vasectomy can be seen much sooner, often within days of requesting an appointment.
Before choosing to have a Vasectomy, it is important to be sure that it is right for you. Whilst reversible under some conditions, successful reversal is not guaranteed and surgery is required in order to perform a reversal. Therefore we require all patients to book in for a consultation appointment initially, to allow the patient to fully understand the procedure and consider their options.
Until September 2023, vasectomies were available across the UK through NHS services, typically accessed via local commissioning arrangements, although waiting times were often lengthy and could extend to around 18 months in some areas. Since then, further NHS funding pressures and service reconfigurations have led to a significant reduction in the availability of NHS-funded vasectomy services. As a result, it is now expected that many GP practices across the UK will no longer be able to offer vasectomies, with access becoming increasingly limited in numerous regions.
As part of our clinic policy, all new patients receiving aesthetic or skin treatments must undergo a skin scan. Please arrive makeup-free to ensure an accurate assessment and personalised treatment plan.
A £50 deposit is required to secure your appointment, which may be redeemable against treatments or products, depending on the booking. Deposits are non-refundable.
For cancellations or changes, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice to retain your deposit. No-shows or late changes will require a new deposit.
A vasectomy will not decrease your sex drive in any way. You will still have a normal erection and ejaculations, just no sperm. And it does not affect the production of the male hormone testosterone.
The success rate for a vasectomy is approximately 98-99%.
Recovery from a vasectomy takes approximately one week, with three days of rest (no heavy lifting or exercise), followed by four days at no more than 70% effort.
You will be declared sterile once we have the results of your post-op semen analysis.
