Why Patients Choose Urology Associates for Their Vasectomy
- Highest volume in the area. We perform around 400 vasectomies per year. Volume matters — the more procedures a surgeon performs, the more refined the technique.
- Surgeons with deep experience. Our urologists have performed over 1,500 vasectomies each, bringing a level of expertise you will not find at most practices.
- No-scalpel technique. We use the no-scalpel vasectomy method, a minimally invasive approach with less bleeding, lower risk of infection, faster healing, and no stitches required.
- Comfort-focused experience. We have designed the experience to be as relaxed as possible. You choose the music. Pronox, an inhaled nitrous oxide option, is available for patients who want extra comfort during the procedure (billed separately).
- Private practice, not a hospital. We are an independent, private practice, which means more personalized attention, shorter wait times, and a team fully dedicated to your care.
- Flexible scheduling. We offer appointments throughout the week including most Fridays, so you can plan your procedure and recover over the weekend.
- Telehealth available for your initial consult. Not ready to come in yet? Your first consultation can be done by telehealth: convenient, private, and no obligation.
- Clear, transparent pricing. We accept most major insurance plans. For patients paying out of pocket, our all-inclusive cash price is $1,000, covering both your initial consultation and the procedure itself.
- Mail-in post-vasectomy testing. At 12 weeks after your procedure, you will submit a semen sample using our mail-in kit (available at an additional charge). No in-person drop-off required. Mail it from home and we will communicate your results.
What Is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a safe, highly effective, permanent form of contraception for men. During the procedure, the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles, are cut, tied, or blocked, preventing sperm from being included in semen during ejaculation.
A vasectomy does not affect testosterone levels, sexual drive, or the sensation of orgasm. Ejaculation looks and feels the same. The only difference is that sperm are no longer present.
Vasectomy is more than 99% effective and is considered one of the most reliable forms of contraception available.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy: What Makes It Different?
We use the no-scalpel vasectomy technique, which is now considered the gold standard. Instead of making an incision, a small puncture is made in the skin of the scrotum to access the vas deferens. The benefits compared to traditional vasectomy include:
- Less bleeding and bruising
- Lower risk of infection
- Faster healing time
- No stitches
- Less discomfort during and after the procedure
What to Expect: From Consult to Recovery
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Your first step is a consultation with one of our urologists. We will review your health history, answer all your questions, and confirm that a vasectomy is the right choice for you. This appointment can be done in person at our De Pere or Marinette office, or by telehealth if that is more convenient.
Step 2: The Procedure
The vasectomy is performed in our office and typically takes 20 minutes or less. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area. Pronox, an inhaled nitrous oxide option, is also available for patients who want additional comfort and is billed separately. You choose the music, and our team is focused on keeping the experience calm from start to finish. Most patients drive themselves home afterward.
Step 3: Recovery
Most patients return to desk work within a day or two. Please abstain from ejaculation during the first week of recovery, and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for about a week. Supportive underwear and ice can help with any soreness in the first couple of days.
Step 4: Confirming Success with a Mail-In Semen Analysis
At 12 weeks after the procedure, you will need to submit a semen sample to confirm success. This step is important: you are not considered sterile until the results come back clear, so please continue using contraception until then. We provide a mail-in test kit (available at an additional charge) so you can complete this step from home. We will communicate your results directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a vasectomy permanent?
Yes, a vasectomy should be considered permanent. While vasectomy reversal is sometimes possible, it is a more complex surgery and success is not guaranteed. We recommend a vasectomy only for men who are confident they do not want future biological children.
Will a vasectomy affect my sex drive or hormone levels?
No. A vasectomy has no effect on testosterone production, sex drive, or sexual function. The only change is that sperm are no longer present in semen.
Can I drive myself home after the procedure?
Yes, most patients drive themselves home. If you choose to use Pronox during the procedure, please check with our team beforehand.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure typically takes 20 minutes or less in our office.
What days are appointments available?
We offer vasectomy appointments throughout the week, including most Fridays, so you can schedule your procedure and spend the weekend recovering at home.
Do you serve patients from outside the Green Bay area?
Yes. We regularly see patients from across northeastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Your initial consultation can be done by telehealth, and procedures are performed at our offices in De Pere and Marinette.
How soon can I have sex after a vasectomy?
We ask that you avoid ejaculation for the first week after the procedure. After that, you can resume sexual activity once soreness has resolved. Keep in mind that you are not considered sterile until a follow-up semen analysis at 12 weeks confirms success. Until then, please use a backup form of contraception.
