It takes around 20 to 40 minutes to complete a vasectomy. Doctors use local anesthetics to numb the skin of the man’s scrotum. The vas deferens or the tubes that connect the testicle to the urethra are cut and sealed. The process is done so that the sperm created in the testicles remains there and does not travel to the urethra. He is still able to ejaculate but it will not contain any sperm after the operation.
There are 2 types of vasectomy:
Conventional
In a conventional vasectomy, doctors create incisions to the scrotum to be able to cut and seal the tubes.
No-scalpel
In a no-scalpel vasectomy, doctors use a tool that punctures the scrotum instead of creating slits. It makes healing faster and has less bleeding and scarring compared to a conventional vasectomy.
