Where do you go to get a vasectomy?

Question

I live in a small town,with 2 hospitals.I don't wanna make a doctors apointment to drive for an hour or so,only for him to tell me to go somewhere else.the family doctor i have here can't perform a vasectomy in his office,because it's a room in a house,not a sterile professional setting for surgery/operation.(plus I never went to a doctor in several years and i don't plan on going any time soon)There are no uroligists in my town,or walk-in vasectomy clinics.

How the h**l do I get a vasectomy without several doctors appointments/waiting times/referalls/etc?

Do they have to do a physical exam on you before you do it? like a urology exam on your testicles? Because that stuff doesn't fly with me,I don't get dressed up in a johnny suit and cough for people.

Do I just call the hospital in my area and tell them I want a vasectomy and make an appointment for one?

Sorry for all the questions,this stuff is on my mind and driving me insane to the point of where I can't sleep.I Want to get the procedure done without my girlfriend knowing (that's a whole different story in itself though).

I just want to walk in to a place on friday,take my jeans off,bite the bullet for 20 mins and then go home a happy man.

I'm a 21 year old male,(obviously,lol)

Answer 1

ok to be very honest...you seriously just need to suck it up man..

your gonna get checked out for bumps and problems...they will push around down there to "look" for the vas deferens and see if everything is normal...

THEN you will get a seperate appointment

personally I would fly out of the country just to get it done...but I was lucky to find the current doc that is about to do it within 70 miles

my doc is in garden city, ny and I could give you his info if you'd like..I swear he asked me "Are you sure you understand that you will never have any (more) kids?" I said "Yes"

he didn't even ASK me if I have kids...I'm 22 and he just said ok everything looks good...ask the nurse for an appointment

that was IT

Answer 2

There are no places that you can walk in ask for a vasectomy and get one.  You have to find a urologist and go through the whole routine of appointments etc.  Also, you'll have a hard time hiding it from your girl for a while, after all it is a surgical procedure, there will be evidence until it all heals up.

You may want to call Planned Parenthood, they may be able help you.  But like the others said - I'm not sure any ethical doctor would perform a vasectomy on someone who is only 21.

Answer 3

First off, you'll have a very difficult time finding a surgeon/urologist who's even *willing* to perform a vasectomy on a man as young as you are.  

I had mine at age 27, and it took me two years (living in a major city) just to *find* one who'd do unmarried men under 30... and the only reason *he* did it was for a chance to get into my family doctor's pants (she was an ex-classmate of his and an incredibly attractive woman, and he was doing her a huge favour by getting me off her back about it.)

Second, remember that even though they can sometimes (not often succsessfully) be reversed, a vasectomy is *permanent*.   No children for you and no grandchildren for your mama and papa.   Those are things you might change your mind about later on, so you'd better be *certain* about your decision.

Finally, are you in a position where you can take a couple of days off work or school to lie around with an ice-pack on your balls, and are you willing to go without s*x for 6 weeks afterwards to prevent injury to the healing tissues?

Oh... and all of the urology exam stuff, the incovenience and everything else is part of the territory.   You'll *never* get a vasectomy without doing the whole business.

Don't think I'm trying to change your mind... I just want you to know what you're up against so you go into it wiith open eyes.

EDIT:

Oh, I forgot one thing... you'll have to get your s***n checked later by a fertility lab, who'll get you to mastrubate into a little container and provide a sample for them.

That needs done at 8-plus weeks (and possibly again at 6 months) to see if the operation was a complete success, and you'll still need to be using some form of contraception until you get the "all clear".

EDIT AGAIN:

I do apologize for getting all shirty with you, but your "strong-mindedness" as I'm sure you'd call it verges on willful ignorance.  

The truth of the matter is that it's a medical procedure and it requires surgery... surgery that we as Canadian taxpayers are paying for on your behalf (and if you're a taxpayer yourself, a tiny portion of the cost will be covered in your next tax return).  

If you're *really* not willing to do the "johnny-shirt and cough" thing due to some matter of pride or principle, then you're too hung up about healthcare in general to be thinking about anything more complicated than a condom for contraception.

That's not a condescention, it's a bald fact.  You can't dictate any of the terms in this situation, it's take it as you can get it (which will be *incredibly* difficult in your case, even *with* your full cooperation) or leave it.

I'm not trying to analyse you: I calls 'em as I sees 'em, and I see someone who obviously doesn't know what he needs to know and doesn't really want to learn... someone who's unwilling to do as required of him but expects his own requirements met anyhow... and I'm not sure anyone will ever be able to help you unless you're willing to suck it up and follow the rules.

I was 21 myself once... 27 years ago... and I was almost as headstrong as you are, but one thing I wasn't is "unwilling to change and adapt", or I'd never have stayed in that house (common-law wife and two stepkids) for a week, let alone for nearly nine years.   You apparently are, and decades before your time.

Pity.  

I wish you no ill at all, though.  Good luck with both the vasectomy and the gf... I *do* hope it goes well for you and if it somehow does, I'll be very happy for you both.

Answer 4

Yes, it would be a good thing. I just had one last October. I got it with no problem. I was 24, and have no children. It was nothing. I paid $600 for it.

Answer 5

You won't have a problem.  Look of the nearest planned parenthood and get a referral.  That is your only option in a small town.  I had mine done when I was 21.  I have no children.

Answer 6

Well, it sounds to me as if you want some magic vasectomy genie to appear and take care of it for you! But it don't work that way! If your local doc can not preform the procedure, you're just going to have to break down and GO to a place that does it!

You can start out by making an appointment with your local doc who can give you a quick check-up and recommend a doc to you that can do the vasectomy. Then you call the office of the referred doc and set up an appointment. A check-up probably will be necessary to make sure you are healthy enough to have this done.

Some doctors won't do vasectomies on guys who are as young as you so make sure you ask about that when you call!

You have to remember, while it is YOUR body, you are the patient, NOT the doctor and you don't get to make the rules about how this is done. There are procedures that doctors use to insure that everything works out the way it should, you just can't walk into a doc's office and dictate to him how to do what he does!
