À quoi dois-je m'attendre si je décide de subir une vasectomie?

À quoi dois-je m’attendre si je décide de subir une vasectomie?

Si vous envisagez un moyen de contraception, une vasectomie peut être une bonne option. Elle est efficace à plus de 99 % et n’a aucun effet sur vos hormones. Par conséquent, une vasectomie n’affectera pas votre libido. Savoir à quoi vous attendre après une vasectomie peut vous aider à être plus détendu avant et après l’intervention dans votre clinique de vasectomie à Montréal, Ottawa ou Hawkesbury. 

Quelle est la meilleure façon de se préparer à une vasectomie ? 

La veille de l’intervention, vous devez vous raser sous le pénis et sur le devant du scrotum. Cela permet au médecin de la clinique de vasectomie de mieux voir la zone et diminue les risques d’infection ou d’épididymite post-vasectomie. Le médecin peut utiliser de l’alcool pour essuyer votre peau avant la vasectomie, ce qui peut irriter la peau fraîchement rasée. Le jour de l’opération, n’utilisez pas de poudre ou de déodorant sur vos parties génitales. Vous pouvez prendre votre petit déjeuner ou votre déjeuner avant l’intervention, comme d’habitude. 

Que se passe-t-il pendant une vasectomie ? 

La procédure de la vasectomie est effectuée dans l’une de nos cliniques de vasectomie à Ottawa, Montréal ou Hawkesbury et vous êtes un patient externe. Une anesthésie locale vous sera administrée pour engourdir la peau et réduire l’inconfort. Une fois que votre peau est engourdie, le médecin utilise un petit instrument pour percer la peau afin de fermer le canal déférent. Les points de suture ne sont pas nécessaires, car l’ouverture est très petite. La procédure prend de 10 à 15 minutes. Vous aurez peut-être quelques ecchymoses, mais l’ouverture se refermera dans un délai d’un à trois jours. 

Combien de temps faut-il pour récupérer après une vasectomie ? 

Prévoyez de vous reposer pendant 48 à 72 heures après votre vasectomie. Portez un soutien athlétique pendant deux à trois jours après l’intervention. Ne faites pas de gros travaux de levage ou de jardinage, mais vous pouvez marcher et conduire. Lorsque la douleur diminue, vous pouvez reprendre l’exercice à mi-force ou retourner au travail. Certains hommes ont besoin de sept à quatorze jours pour revenir complètement à la normale. Vous n’aurez pas besoin d’un rendez-vous de suivi, car il n’y a pas de sutures. 

Prévoyez d’utiliser une autre méthode de contraception lorsque vous reprendrez vos activités sexuelles pendant les trois mois suivant la vasectomie. Vous apporterez un échantillon de sperme à un laboratoire pour le faire analyser afin de vous assurer qu’aucun spermatozoïde n’est présent. 

Prenez un rendez-vous avec l’une de nos trois cliniques de vasectomie à Hawkesbury, Montréal ou Ottawa.

Had my vasectomy performed by Dr Dumais, who has taken over for Dr Weiss who has since retired. She was absolutely excellent. Great bedside manner, clear explanations of what was happening and any potential discomfort that might be felt during each step. Entire procedure from freezing to finish took under 10 minutes.Before beginning Dr Bercier confirmed my age (31), that I had no children, and that I was 100% certain I never wanted to have any (and that my partner felt the same way). She reiterated that while surgical reversal is sometimes possible, the procedure should be considered permanent.Nurses/office staff were friendly and efficient. Got up from the table a bit too quick and ended up sitting down in the chair and fainting. They were right on top of things and immediately went into their usual routine for when those things happen. We had a little chuckle about it, and at no point did it feel weird or judgemental which I very much appreciated.A couple of other notes based on some things mentioned in a few other reviews here:- Total out of pocket fees are $170, consisting of a $20 deposit and $150 on the day of the procedure. Those costs are detailed in the attached photo of the “Pre and Post Vasectomy Kit”. As detailed on the page patients can choose to pay only for the specific items/services they want, and they also give you a week post-procedure to request a refund and pay only for the needed items. This information is not provided anywhere before going in, so most will just pay the $170 and be done with it. While some of these costs are certainly quite highly inflated, they do help make up for the fairly minimal compensation the clinic receives from OHIP for each procedure.- Website is a bit of a mess, although most of the important bits are easy to find (and all the most important info is attached to the emails you’ll get). Specifically one thing they have changed is that you do *not* need to travel to the office to pick up your vasectomy package before the procedure! You are given it after your appointment just before leaving.- To the few complaining about pain/discomfort lasting more than the first week and “not being made aware of the risks”… did you not bother to fully read through the documentation available both on the website as well as repeatedly sent to you in the emails? All of the risks and rates of various complications are explicitly laid out in advance. Every body is different, and there is a small chance of a variety of complications. Choosing to ignore the provided information and then complaining that you wouldn’t have gone through with it if you knew is just ridiculous.One last recommendation for the doctors here: I highly recommend investing the few thousand dollars towards having a professional web design company re-build you a new website from the ground up. The current site is a mess, particularly on modern phones, and this is something that will radically improve the patient experience.

Dr. Valerie Dumois did my vasectomy, and she was really quite kind willing to answer questions. It was for the most part painless and the pain you feel is minimal. Reception was also pretty great they answered all my questions to male sire I heal properly. Was great meeting them all and doing it the modern way or a scalpel and needle is definitely in every males favour. Thank you so much for being such great people

Half an hour to my appointment they told me to wait outside(35 degrees celcius) until exactly my appointment. Dr. Bercier if you can call him a doctor had the most rude and disrespectful attitude I've had from a doctor. I asked him three questions to which he said he didn't care. During the procedure I simply asked how long does it take and he replied with "How long do you think it takes? Did you see me with the other patients?" I think his attitude was racially motivated because I'm not French. Don't come here! Go somewhere else!

Great clinic, 5 stars all around. Leading up to the appointment they provide you with fantastic information that explains everything in detail. Great communication, super organized, friendly and professional. Everyone from reception, to the nurse, to the doctor - all were pleasant, efficient, and professional. It was a huge piece of mind. The doctor played my choice of music during the procedure. It was practically painless, with only minor discomfort for a brief moment, and it was quick. I am now recovering comfortably with very detailed instructions about how to enhance my recovery. Thank you Dr. Weiss and Dr. Bercier! Highly recommend.

The process of getting my vasectomy was quite efficient. From walking in the office door to sitting down in my car again was only 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly in greeting you and providing instructions and Dr. Bercier was pleasant to deal with, friendly and gentle. Dare I say the experience was enjoyable! Any trepidation one has about the procedure, don’t worry! Thanks to all.
