Vasectomy is the procedure of dividing the vas (the tube that delivers the sperm from the testis to the prostate) in order to prevent conception. It is the most common method of male contraception in this country where about 500,000 vasectomies are done each year. It is an elective surgical procedure to achieve sterility. Since vasectomy simply interrupts the delivery of the sperm, it does not change the hormonal function of the testis and sexual drive and ability remain intact. Since most of the semen is composed of fluid from the prostate, the semen will look the same. Although the man continues to have sexual intercourse and climax as before, his semen does not contain sperm and he cannot father a child following a vasectomy.

How We Are Providing Care During Corona Pandemic
When considering a vasectomy, ask your doctor if he or she is certified by The American Board of Urology.
We perform No SNIP vasectomy
The No SNIP vasectomy is a registered trademark and stands for No-Scalpel, No Needle, No Incision, and No Pain Vasectomy. The vasectomy is performed with the no-scalpel technique. Anesthesia is administered without a needle with a special pneumatic device. There is no incision and no pain. The surgery is performed in the office. Dr. Agha, who will perform your surgery, is a Board Certified Urologist and has been performing these procedures since 1996. He not only performs the vasectomies but also specializes in vasectomy reversals.
Why a Specialist
Although anyone with a medical degree can “legally” perform a vasectomy, only Urologists are certified by The American Board of Medical Specialties and The American Board of Urology to deal with male genitourinary organs. Dr. Agha is a diplomat of the American Board of Urology and has completed over 5 years of specialty training after graduating from medical school. He has the advanced training necessary to deal with the occasional difficult vasectomy or complication.

Frequently Asked Question
No scalpel-vasectomy is different from a conventional vasectomy in the way it is performed surgically. As the name of technique says it, no knife (scalpel) is used. An improved method of anesthesia helps make the procedure less painful.
The testes continue to produce sperm after vasectomy. They however face obstruction on their path to semen at the site of vasectomy. After living their life span (like many other cells) they die and are dissolved. The proteins and debris so produced are absorbed into body.

“No SNIP” is definitely the way to go here. Dr Agha made the procedure painless – it was relatively quick. Seriously, I was freaked before hand – looking back on it – it was simple. I view a vasectomy the same way I view dental work – I expect to be a little uncomfortable but pain free. Dr Agha met these standard
