## About the Procedure

A vasectomy at De Herenkliniek is performed under local anaesthetic by experienced urologists and physicians. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes. Key steps:

1. Online or phone intake questionnaire
2. Procedure at a date of the patient's choosing
3. Follow-up semen analysis after 12 weeks at a partner laboratory (Saltro or SFG)

The clinic is affiliated with Franciscus hospital and partner labs including Saltro and SFG. Results of the semen analysis are returned within 3 days.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does a vasectomy hurt?**
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. The only sharp pain is the anaesthetic injection itself. After that, patients feel pressure but no pain.

**Is a vasectomy reversible?**
A vasectomy should be considered permanent. Reversal (vasovasostomy) is sometimes possible but success rates decline with time and are not guaranteed.

**Does a vasectomy affect testosterone or sex drive?**
No. The procedure only cuts the vas deferens and does not affect hormone production, libido, or sexual function.

**Is a vasectomy covered by Dutch health insurance?**
Generally not by basic insurance (basisverzekering). Some supplementary policies (aanvullende verzekering) may cover it. The out-of-pocket cost at De Herenkliniek is €539.

**When can I have sex again after a vasectomy?**
Most men can resume sexual activity after 1 week, but contraception must continue until the 12-week semen analysis confirms sterility.

**Can I exercise after a vasectomy?**
Light activity after 2–3 days; strenuous sport after approximately 1 week.
