Schedule a ConsultationThere are many reasons to choose the Obsidian Painless Vasectomy over your local urologist or surgery center. From our needle-free numbing approach to our luxury recovery suite, every detail is designed for your comfort.
We use topical anesthetics and a high-powered spray — no needles. You'll be fully numbed before the procedure even begins.
Instead of a large incision, we use a device that creates an opening less than 5mm. No stitches required. Faster healing.
Our recovery room features comfortable robes, flat-screen TVs with Netflix, cappuccino, and top-shelf refreshments. You may not want to leave.
Most men resume gentle activity, work, and exercise within 48 hours. Minimal bruising, minimal discomfort.
Board-certified urologists with extensive vasectomy experience, minimizing risk and maximizing your comfort throughout.
We conduct two semen tests weeks after your procedure to confirm sterility before you stop alternative birth control.
From consultation to confirmed sterility, here's how the Obsidian vasectomy experience works.
Meet with your urologist to discuss the procedure, address all your questions, and receive your pre-procedure prescriptions including an anti-anxiety medication for procedure day.
Arrive relaxed. Topical anesthetic is applied (20 min), followed by high-powered spray numbing. The no-scalpel procedure is completed while you're completely comfortable.
Relax in our luxury recovery suite. Ice 20 min on/off for 36-48 hours at home. Two semen analyses confirm sterility. Most men return to full activity within days.
Most vasectomies happen in fluorescent-lit surgery centers where you're one of a dozen patients that day. We built something different for men who refuse to accept that as normal.
Vasectomy is the most effective of all methods of birth control at 99.9% effectiveness — only abstinence beats it. We conduct two semen tests weeks after your procedure to verify sterility.
No. It takes several weeks for patients to become sterile, which must be confirmed with two semen analyses prior to stopping alternative birth control methods.
Practically speaking, vasectomy should be considered a permanent birth control procedure. While it can be reversed if absolutely necessary, success of a reversal cannot be guaranteed.
You'll arrive relaxed with your anti-anxiety medication. We apply a topical anesthetic for 20 minutes, then use a high-powered spray for stronger numbing. At that point, you're fully numbed and the surgeon proceeds with the vasectomy.
After relaxing in our luxury recovery room, return home and avoid strenuous activity for 48 hours. Ice 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Expect mild bruising and swelling but minimal pain. Most men resume gentle sexual activity, work, and exercise within 48 hours.
Vasectomy has absolutely no effect on sex drive, erection, orgasm, or ejaculation. It only blocks sperm, with no effect on testosterone. Many couples actually report improved sex lives after vasectomy due to the relief from concern about pregnancy.
Yes, we recommend having someone drive you home. We're also happy to arrange transportation back to your home or hotel.
