Preventing Future Events
After initial treatment, ongoing care focuses on:
Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than pain. Local anaesthetic gel makes the procedure very tolerable. You might feel pressure and an urge to urinate. The procedure takes only 5-10 minutes, and any discomfort is brief.
Vasectomy is over 99.9% effective, making it one of the most reliable contraceptive methods. It's considered permanent, though reversal is possible but complex. You'll need to use alternative contraception for 3 months post-procedure until sperm counts confirm sterility.
You may see blood in urine, stool, or semen for several days to weeks—this is normal. Most men return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Serious complications are rare (less than 1%). We'll provide antibiotics to prevent infection.
Effects typically last 6-9 months, though this varies. Most patients notice improvement within 2 weeks. The procedure can be repeated when symptoms return. About 5% of patients may experience temporary difficulty emptying their bladder completely.
Yes, many stones can be treated without traditional surgery. ESWL uses sound waves to break stones externally. Ureteroscopy removes stones through natural openings. Only very large or complex stones require percutaneous surgery, and open surgery is rarely needed today.
