Vasectomy
A vasectomy is a safe and effective permanent method of male contraception. Mr. Angus Campbell offers bilateral vasectomy procedures in Oxford and Milton Keynes, providing a reliable solution for those seeking long-term birth control. Schedule a consultation today to discuss whether a vasectomy is right for you.
A vasectomy is a simple, safe, and highly effective surgical procedure designed for permanent male contraception. It works by blocking or cutting the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. Once these tubes are blocked, sperm cannot mix with semen, preventing it from reaching an egg.
The procedure is ideal for men who are certain they do not want more (or any) children, offering a long-term solution that eliminates the need for ongoing birth control methods. Importantly, a vasectomy does not interfere with testosterone production, erections, or sexual performance.
A vasectomy is one of the most effective methods of contraception, with success rates exceeding 99%. It provides peace of mind for couples looking for a permanent solution and eliminates the need for temporary options like condoms or hormonal birth control.
Compared to female sterilization, a vasectomy is less invasive, has fewer complications, and comes with a quicker recovery time.
The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient service, allowing you to go home the same day. Here’s what to expect:
During your consultation, Mr. Campbell will discuss the procedure in detail and address any questions you may have.
On the day of the procedure, the scrotal area will be cleaned and prepared. Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the area, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout.
No-Scalpel Technique:
A small puncture is made in the scrotum to access the vas deferens. This minimally invasive technique reduces the risk of complications and eliminates the need for stitches.
The vas deferens is then cut, tied, or sealed using heat (cauterization).
Conventional Technique:
Tiny incisions are made on either side of the scrotum to access the vas deferens. Once the tubes are blocked, the incisions are closed with small sutures.
The entire procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and is completed in one session.
Most patients can walk out of the clinic immediately after the procedure. You’ll be given clear aftercare instructions, including how to manage mild discomfort and when to resume activities.
Permanent Birth Control:
A vasectomy is over 99% effective, providing a long-term solution for preventing pregnancy. Once confirmed effective, it removes the need for additional contraception.
Quick Recovery:
Most men return to their regular routines within a few days. The no-scalpel method further reduces downtime, with minimal pain or swelling.
No Impact on Sexual Function:
A vasectomy does not affect testosterone levels, erections, orgasms, or the quantity of ejaculate. Your sex life remains unchanged.
Cost-Effective:
A vasectomy is a one-time procedure, eliminating the ongoing costs of temporary contraceptives like condoms or hormonal pills.
Lower Risk of Complications:
Compared to female sterilization, a vasectomy is less invasive, with fewer risks and a quicker recovery period.
Peace of Mind:
You can enjoy intimacy without worrying about unintended pregnancy once the procedure is confirmed effective through a semen analysis.
While vasectomy reversals are possible, they are complex procedures requiring microsurgery and are not always successful. The likelihood of restoring fertility decreases as more time passes after the vasectomy.
Because of this, it’s important to consider a vasectomy as a
permanent decision. If you are unsure about your future family plans, discuss alternative options with Mr. Campbell.
Immediate Recovery:
Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the scrotal area is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
Applying ice packs and wearing snug, supportive underwear can help reduce discomfort and speed recovery.
Returning to Normal Activities:
Most men resume light activities within 2–3 days and can return to work (if not physically demanding) within the same timeframe. Avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise for about a week.
Follow-Up Care:
A semen analysis is performed several weeks after the procedure to confirm that no sperm are present in the ejaculate.
It may take up to 8–12 weeks or 15–20 ejaculations to completely clear sperm from the system, so alternative contraception is necessary during this period.
Does it affect testosterone levels?
No, your testicles will continue to produce testosterone as usual, maintaining your energy levels, muscle mass, and libido.
Will it hurt?
Most men report only mild discomfort during and after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Can it cause long-term problems?
Serious complications are rare. Mr. Campbell uses advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
If you’re unsure about committing to a permanent procedure, other contraceptive options include:
Condoms: A non-invasive, temporary option.
Hormonal Birth Control: Pills, patches, or injections for your partner.
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Long-lasting but reversible contraceptives for women.
Natural Family Planning: Monitoring fertility cycles to avoid pregnancy.
Mr. Campbell can help you explore these options if you’re uncertain about a vasectomy.

No, a vasectomy does not interfere with libido, testosterone production, or your ability to enjoy intimacy.
Most men resume normal activities within 2–3 days. Full recovery, including avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise, may take about a week.
No, a vasectomy does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. You may still need to use condoms for STI prevention.
Failure rates are extremely low but possible if the vas deferens reconnects. This is why follow-up semen analysis is crucial to confirm success.
While reversals are possible, they are not always successful. Discuss your long-term plans thoroughly before deciding on a vasectomy.
Yes, you will still ejaculate normally. The semen will no longer contain sperm, but the quantity and appearance remain unchanged.
