Post-vasectomy recommendations

How should I behave on the day of the procedure?

Continue to maintain a high level of consciousness on the Howkins scale, at least 200-540, which is the level of courage, love and joy. Wear tighter briefs so that your ‘diamonds’ do not dangle in your boxer shorts, in order to feel comfortable at all times. When you get home, take a shower, remove the dressing applied during the procedure, do not apply any dressings, and that is all the medical care you need. Of course, accept your partner's invitation if she suggests going to the theatre, cinema or a special dinner with champagne.

FAQ

Can I take painkillers?

Yes, you certainly can. We sometimes prescribe painkillers, but they are very rarely purchased. Most people have some painkillers in their home medicine cabinet.

What can I do immediately after the procedure and three days later?

You can drive immediately after the procedure; there are no contraindications. From the next day onwards, we do not recommend any special rest. Of course, strenuous exercise at work or sports training (e.g. long-distance cycling, tennis) is not recommended for a few days. So far, we have not issued any sick leave certificates as there has been no need to do so. After 24 hours, we contact each other to discuss how the first day after the vasectomy procedure went.

What about sex and contraception?

We recommend gentle abstinence for the first week, but patients can engage in behaviours that suit them. After seven days, we do not interfere with physical and sexual activity. For a period of two cycles, we recommend contraception as before the procedure. Our recorded record is 25 ejaculations within five days of a vasectomy. An absolute record.

When should I have a semen analysis after the procedure?

A semen analysis to check for the presence of sperm in the ejaculate should be performed 8 weeks after the procedure, and 12 weeks if there are any doubts about the result after 8 weeks. A list of laboratories most frequently used by our patients can be found at the following link: www.wazektomia.com/laboratoria-badajace-nasienie. This test can also be performed at another laboratory not included on our list.
