Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral for a vasectomy consultation?
No. You can book the consultation directly. It is a chance to ask questions and decide without pressure before any procedure is arranged.
Is a vasectomy permanent?
A vasectomy should be considered permanent. Reversal is sometimes possible but is not guaranteed, so the consultation focuses on making a confident, informed decision.
How effective is a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is one of the most effective forms of contraception. A follow-up semen test confirms the procedure has worked before you rely on it.
What does recovery involve?
Most men return to normal activity within a few days, with some tenderness. The consultant explains aftercare and what to expect during the consultation.
Will the procedure be done at the same visit?
No. The consultation is a separate discussion. If you decide to proceed, the procedure is arranged for a later date.
