Vasectomy
Procedure:
1. No aspirin or blood thinners for 1 wk. prior to procedure (tylenol or ibuprofen ok).
2. Shave the front of the scrotal skin up to the base of the penile shaft the day prior to procedure, have snug briefs style underwear or an athletic supporter to wear afterward, & come with someone to drive you home afterward.
3. You may or may not get IV valium prior to the procedure per physician discretion. The main thing that makes the procedure possible is the injection of lidocaine local anesthesia to numb the skin & underlying structures.
4. There will be either 1 or 2 incisions in the scrotal skin to divide the vas defrens (sperm duct) on each side.
5. Any sutures in the skin will dissolve with time, so no office visit will be necessary for suture removal.
