What is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a simple, minor surgical procedure that offers a permanent method of male contraception. It involves blocking or cutting the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm), preventing sperm from reaching the semen. This highly effective method of contraception liberates your sex-life, removing the stress of contraceptive failure and allows you to enjoy long-term freedom without relying on temporary methods like condoms or hormonal interventions.

Our Vasectomy Procedure
We specialise in the no-scalpel vasectomy, a minimally invasive technique that reduces pain, bleeding, and recovery time. Here’s what you can expect:
- Initial Consultation
During your first visit, our experts will discuss your medical history, explain the procedure in detail and help you decide if a vasectomy is right for you. You can expect this call within 3 working days of your enquiry. - The Procedure
- Performed under local anaesthesia, the operating site is rendered free from sensing discomfort before proceeding
- A small puncture is made to access the vas deferens.
- The tubes are blocked or sealed, preventing sperm from entering the semen.
- The procedure typically takes 10 minutes.
- Recovery and Aftercare
- You can return home typically 30 minutes after arriving
- In the first 2 days you should mainly rest, sitting with feet up. It is fine to travel to your office and to do office work
- Wait for 2 full weeks before doing strenuous exercise or heavy lifting
- You will likely feel you have made a full recovery within a week; specific aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a vasectomy reversible?
While vasectomy reversal is possible, it’s a complex procedure and often fails to restore fertility. For this reason patients should consider a vasectomy as a permanent decision.
Will a vasectomy affect my sexual function?
No, a vasectomy does not impact sexual performance, erections, or the volume/ sensation of ejaculation. It often improves sex-life, giving a positive feeling of liberation as sex is no longer tied to the worries of contraceptive failure.
How soon is it effective?
A vasectomy is not immediately effective. Sperm will still be present in your semen for a short period after the procedure. You will need to have a test at 16 weeks to confirm it’s safe to stop using other contraception. The cost of the test is within the price of the vasectomy.
How soon is it effective?
An important part of the good experience you can expect from our service at Stock Surgery lies within the skill of applying the local anaesthetic with great accuracy and also with the choice of instruments used (we use more expensive ultra-fine equipment). Typically the anaesthetic application will feel no worse than having a blood test, and the rest of the procedure should be totally pain-free. During the recovery period some patients report mild soreness, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
