1 – Introduction
Vasectomies are a sterilization method for men who do not want children or do not wish to have more. It is a minor, 10-minute intervention done with local anesthesia at the doctor’s office.
It is a permanent male contraception method that prevents spermatozoa from entering semen. Simple and very effective, vasectomies have a success rate of more than 99.9% in preventing pregnancies.
Patients say they felt very little pain: no worse than getting bloodwork done. Some even say they felt no pain at all.
Consultation
Through the public health system (Hawkesbury and Orléans clinics)
- You must discuss your wishes with your family doctor. She or he will then have to refer you to me.
- Once the referral is received, a consultation appointment is booked.
Through the private health system (Montréal clinic)
- Simply book an appointment directly with the REMD clinic.
Limitations
- Does not offer immediate sterilisation: another method of birth control should be used until the control test to ensure no spermatozoa is left in semen (about 12 weeks and 20 ejaculations later).
- Vasectomies are permanent sterilization methods: reversal surgery is not always successful.
- Does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases.
