Frequently Asked Questions About Vasectomies

You’re not the first to wonder,  and you definitely won’t be the last. Here are the answers to some of the most common vasectomy questions.

 Yes, it’s considered permanent. While reversals exist, they’re expensive, not always effective, and not offered at DrSnip.

Most patients clear after one test, but about 5-10% need a second. It’s important to know that, if offered, repeat testing is free when done through DrSnip’s in-house lab. If you choose third-party testing, any repeat tests are an out-of-pocket expense.

Don’t worry, it almost always just means your body needs more time to clear. We’ll guide you through another round of testing until you’re officially considered “all clear.”

No. In fact, it’s important to have at least 15 ejaculations before your first test to help ensure accurate results. Be sure to keep using another form of birth control until your test confirms that the procedure was successful.

No. Semen testing at DrSnip is only available to patients who had their vasectomy performed here. If your procedure was done elsewhere, you’ll need to arrange testing through your original provider.
