Preparing for Vasectomy

Prior to scheduling your procedure, it is important for you to meet with the doctor for several reasons. Dr. Buch will discuss vasectomy with you to determine which type of procedure is best suited for you. He will take a complete medical history to identify any significant health issues. He will also do a quick and gentle exam to be sure that there are no physical factors that would complicate your procedure. This visit also allows you the chance to be sure that Dr. Buch is the right doctor to perform your procedure. Prior to the Procedure

• Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxyn or any medicine known to thin your blood beginning at least 7 days prior to your procedure to minimize blooding risk.
• Please trim or gently shave (dry razor with light touch is best) the hair from the underside of the penis and from the front of scrotum.
• To reduce the risk of infection, thoroughly wash your scrotum and groin areas the day before and the morning of the procedure.
• Two hours prior to the procedure take any prescribed medications as directed.
• Wear clean supportive underwear (jockey style or bikini style briefs) to the procedure.
