All About Vasectomy
Many patients have misconceptions about vasectomy, believing it requires general anesthesia and a long recovery. In reality, this quick office procedure only takes about 15 minutes, with a recovery time of just a few days. Following the procedure, men should avoid strenuous activities and use birth control until a semen test confirms its effectiveness, typically within two to three months. A vasectomy is a permanent form of birth control, so it's essential to be certain about not wanting children in the future.
