Checklist

• Please ring and confirm your attendance 24 hours before the procedure.

• As the operation is carried out under local anaesthetic alone it is quite safe to drive to and from the surgery yourself.

• If possible do not take aspirin or ginko in the 10 days prior to vasectomy as these may increase bruising and bleeding.

• Wear supportive underwear (not boxers!).

• Your partner is welcome to be present throughout this procedure if you wish.

• At home on the day of surgery completely shave the scrotum as shown in the photograph below.
