Considering a vasectomy? Here are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask before scheduling this in-office procedure.
Is a vasectomy performed in the office?

How long does the procedure take?
Most vasectomy procedures take about 20 to 30 minutes.
How much recovery time is needed?
Most patients can return to light activity within a few days, though your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions.
Is a vasectomy immediately effective?
