Vasectomies and Reversals
A vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control that is a safe, in-office procedure so you can enjoy a healthy, happy sex life and not have to worry about becoming pregnant. This procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes under a local anesthesia. It is the most effective form of birth control for men. About 500,000 men undergo a vasectomy in the United States each year. It is a minor procedure that involves dividing and sealing the two transport tubes for sperm called the vas deferens. This procedure will prevent sperm from entering into the ejaculatory fluid.
