Vasectomy
SkinSense Private GP Chelmsford provides expert vasectomy services, a safe, quick, and permanent male contraception solution. This simple outpatient procedure offers long-term reliability with minimal downtime, all within a discreet and professional care setting.
Procedure
A vasectomy is a quick and straightforward procedure performed under local anesthesia. Our Specialist Doctors will make small incisions or punctures in the scrotum to access the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm). The tubes are then cut, sealed, or cauterized to prevent sperm from mixing with semen. The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, and patients can go home the same day. Recovery is typically fast, with most men returning to normal activities in a week or so.
What to expect at the clinic:
Upon arrival, you will complete a Medical History form. Our Specialist Doctors will meet with you to discuss your medical history, reasons for choosing a vasectomy, and any concerns you might have. After fully informing you of the procedure, a cooling-off period is offered to help you make a decision. A consent form will be signed, and the procedure will be scheduled at your convenience. Aftercare instructions will be provided, and a follow-up appointment will be booked to ensure proper recovery.
