Thinking about a vasectomy? Let’s talk it through in Conyers
Some men arrive certain; others want to ask a lot of questions first. Both are welcome. Your first conversation happens at our Conyers Clinic, 1366 Wellbrook Circle Suite B, with time set aside for whatever is on your mind.
Your consultation in Conyers
We cover how the procedure works, how you’ll feel afterward, and what it means that a vasectomy is intended to be permanent. If you’re in a relationship, you’re welcome to bring your partner. A reversal can sometimes be done later, though it’s a more involved operation.
The procedure, at our Snellville surgery center
The procedure itself is done at our Snellville Clinic & Surgery Center, 1557 Janmar Rd. Our urologists use the no-scalpel technique: the tubes that carry sperm are reached through a very small opening, then cut and sealed, with local anesthesia and no stitches. You head home afterward, so bring someone to drive you. Two weeks ahead, pause aspirin and similar pain relievers, and two days before, clean and shave the area.
Afterward
Give yourself a quiet couple of days with ice and snug, supportive underwear. Some swelling and tenderness is normal and fades over the following week or so. Until a semen test, usually about three months on, confirms there are no sperm, stay with your current birth control. A vasectomy also offers no protection from sexually transmitted infections. Your follow-up can be back in Conyers.
Coverage
Commercial insurance plans often cover a vasectomy; Medicare and Medicaid usually don’t, and there are self-pay rates. Our team is happy to go over coverage with you on the phone at 678-344-8900.
