Request a vasectomy

Deciding to stop wanting to have children is an important decision in your life. A vasectomy is a simple and reliable method to end your desire to have children. This not only provides peace of mind for yourself, but can also be a great advantage for your partner. For example, she no longer has to use hormonal contraception, which can relieve her body in the long term. A vasectomy is a minor procedure, but it can have a major impact on your life and that of your partner.

During a vasectomy, the vas deferens are closed, so that sperm cells no longer enter the semen. This means that you are still able to ejaculate but that your semen does not contain any sperm cells. A vasectomy is one of the most effective forms of contraception and is performed by thousands of men in the Netherlands every year. Do you want to request a vasectomy directly from De Herenkliniek?

Do I need a referral to request a vasectomy? NO

One of the most frequently asked questions about vasectomies is whether a referral from the doctor is necessary. The short answer is no. You can request a vasectomy directly without the intervention of a GP. This makes the process easier and faster, because you are in control. You don't have to have a long conversation with your doctor to justify your decision. If you are sure you don't want children (anymore), you can take immediate steps to schedule an appointment.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't ask questions or seek advice. In fact, it is important to be well informed about the procedure, the possible consequences and what to expect. This can be done by doing your own research or by making an appointment with one of our doctors.

Does insurance cover my vasectomy appointment?

It is important to know that a vasectomy is not covered by health insurance in most cases. This means that you have to bear the costs for the procedure yourself. The prices for a vasectomy may vary depending on where you have the procedure performed. It is therefore wise to do good research in advance into the rates and what you get in return.

What are the waiting times for a vasectomy appointment?

Once you've made the decision to have a vasectomy, you probably don't want to wait too long to request the vasectomy. Fortunately, waiting times for a vasectomy are often short. This means that you can go quickly for an appointment and have the procedure performed in the foreseeable future. However, the statutory cooling-off period must be taken into account. In the Netherlands, there is a mandatory cooling-off period of at least 30 days after the first meeting with the specialist. This gives you time to think carefully about your decision and ask any questions you may have.
