Vasectomy
Vasectomy care
We have been providing vasectomy procedures for the NHS for over 40 years. Vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive method that is suitable for people who are sure they don’t want any, or anymore, children.
It’s safe, effective and offers a permanent solution to your contraceptive needs. As vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive method and cannot easily be reversed, you should take some time to think about your decision and make sure it is the right one for you.
