BEFORE SURGERY: COMMON QUESTIONS
Will I be put to sleep for this procedure?
No. Vasectomies are done with local anesthetic
AFTER SURGERY: COMMON QUESTIONS
When should I book my follow up?
Our office automatically books your follow up appointment after your surgery, as directed by the surgeon.
I was given antibiotics; I am finished them now, and I would like more.
Patients are often given antibiotics to prevent infection after surgery, but do not need any more after they finish their course. However, if you feel that you may have the signs of infection, please contact us.
When can I resume normal activities?
The surgeon will advise you as to your specific case, as different types of surgery require different periods of recovery.
