6 Things to Know About Vasectomies in Ottawa
A vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control. You and your partner should discuss whether it’s the right choice for you. Here are a few important things that you should know:
- A vasectomy doesn’t affect your sex drive or hormones.
- You should still use a form of birth control until the doctor confirms that there are no more spermatozoids present in your ejaculate, which takes a few weeks.
- A vasectomy can be reversed, but vasectomy reversal has a lower success rate.
- The procedure is done with a local anesthetic. If you are very anxious, we can also prescribe you an anxiolytic.
- You should be able to resume normal activities, such as exercise and sex, within seven days.
- A vasectomy won’t protect you against sexually transmitted infections.
