Frequent Asked Questions
What is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is an in-office, minimally invasive procedure of sterilization of men. It is a permanent form of birth control that can be reversed but a successful reversal cannot be guaranteed for everyone, which is why it is considered permanent. This procedure prevents the release of sperm into semen during ejaculation.

What is a Vasectomy?
At Stellar Men's Health, we utilize the scalpel-free technique to perform vasectomies. The doctor makes a tiny incision to access the vas deferens on both sides instead of a cut with a scalpel. The vas deferens' ends are clamped off. The small hole heals quickly. There is minimal pain. There is decreased risk for infection with the smaller incision.
