First—What Even Is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a form of permanent male birth control. During the procedure, the vas deferens—the tubes that carry sperm—are cut or sealed. You’ll still produce sperm, but it won’t leave the body. No impact on hormones. No impact on performance. And yes—you’ll still be able to do everything you could before. You won’t even notice.
Does It Hurt?
Not really, no. Most men describe the Vasectomy procedure as feeling like a pinch or mild pressure. At GBR Plastic Surgery, we use local anesthesia and a techniques that allow less discomfort and faster recovery.
You’ll be in and out in under an hour. Most guys are back to normal activities in just a few days (with a couple chill days on the couch with Netflix and a frozen bag of peas, of course).
What About Recovery after a Vasectomy in Virginia Beach?
Recovery is child’s play for most men. You’ll want to avoid heavy lifting as well as sexual activity for a few days. But the overall downtime is minimal following a Vasectomy. You’ll leave with a detailed aftercare plan and no stitches to worry about. Some mild, temporary side effects you may experience include burning, swelling, bruising and mild discomfort in the scrotal area.
It can take up to a couple of months for the Vasectomy to take effect, or after a number of ejaculations. Other forms of contraceptive are advised until you undergo a “semen analysis”- which will confirm the absence of semen following your procedure.
Will having a Vasectomy Affect My Performance?
Here’s the truth: a vasectomy has zero effect on testosterone levels, sex drive, or how things “work.” In fact, some men say that knowing they’ve taken permanent birth control off the table makes things better in the bedroom. Can it get better than that?
According to Associated Urological Specialists, “After a vasectomy, your male hormone levels remain the same. So the good news is your sex drive and hair patterns won’t change. And neither will the pitch of your voice”
