Dear Visitor,
Thank you for visiting Vasectomy Specialist Clinics of Chicago. This page will answer most of the commonly asked questions.
We have multiple clinics that are conveniently located in downtown Chicago, Oak Brook and Oakbrook Terrace. We perform No SNIP vasectomies.
The acronym No SNIP vasectomy stands for No Scalpel, No Needle, No Incision and No Pain. The vasectomy is performed with no scalpel technique. Anesthesia is administered without needle with a special pneumatic device. The surgery is performed in 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.
Prior to scheduling your procedure, you are advised to call your insurance company for coverage. They may ask you various questions. Please let them know that Procedure Code for the Vasectomy is (55250) and the Diagnosis Code (Z30.2). The procedure is done in office. For in-network benefits, let them know that Dr. Agha will perform the procedure under Vasectomy Specialist Clinics of Chicago. You may want to ask your insurance company about your co-pay for the office visit and for the surgery and if you have met your deductibles. Please get a reference number or case number of your conversation.
After the above information, call our office at 312-473-7647 or email to schedule your office visit and the procedure of vasectomy.
Please download registration and consent documents that you may complete before coming to the office. You can email or fax these documents at 630-990-4245 or bring them with you at the time of office visit. This may save you some time at the time of your visit. If you could not bring these documents, we will provide you these forms at your arrival.
On the day of your procedure, please have a light breakfast or light lunch. Have your scrotum shaved and take a bath with antiseptic (preferable) soap. Wear clean, tight and snug underwear. Do not take aspirin or other blood thinning products for 1 week before the procedure.
During the vasectomy, vas is delivered out through a small puncture hole, a piece of vas is cut and sent to pathologist, the two ends are blocked and cauterized. The procedure is done in 15 to 20 minutes.
After the procedure you may be able to drive home. You will be given a prescription for a short course of antibiotics and pain pills. In addition, two orders for semen analysis will be given to be performed at 2 months and 3 months after the vasectomy. It takes several weeks to be sperm free. You should continue to use your current methods of contraception till two semen analyses are negative for the presence of sperm.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at 312-473-7647
