Uma vasectomia é dolorosa?

A maioria dos pacientes retoma as atividades diárias em 2 a 3 dias. Atividade física intensa e relações sexuais devem ser evitadas durante cerca de uma semana. O médico fornecerá recomendações específicas para cada caso.

A vasectomia é imediatamente eficaz?

Não. Após o procedimento, pode ainda existir esperma residual nos canais. É necessária uma análise ao esperma de confirmação (normalmente 8 a 12 semanas depois) para confirmar a ausência de espermatozoides antes de descontinuar outros métodos contracetivos.

A vasectomia afeta a vida sexual?

Não. A vasectomia não interfere com a produção de testosterona, a libido, a função erétil ou a ejaculação. A vida sexual mantém-se inalterada após a recuperação.

A vasectomia pode ser revertida?

Embora existam tecnicamente procedimentos de reversão (vasovasostomia), os resultados não são garantidos e dependem de vários fatores, incluindo o tempo decorrido desde a vasectomia. Deve ser sempre encarada como uma decisão permanente.

Quem pode fazer uma vasectomia na Clínica Aeger Prima?

É recomendada para homens adultos que tomaram uma decisão consciente e definitiva de não ter filhos (ou mais filhos). A decisão é sempre avaliada individualmente em consulta com o urologista, sem juízos de valor.

Safe and permanent male contraception

Vasectomy is one of the most effective male contraceptive methods currently available. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the deferent ducts, responsible for transporting sperm from the testicles to the urethra, are cut, tied, or sealed, thereby preventing fertilization.

In the AEGER Prima Clinic, in Lisbon, vasectomy is performed by experienced urologists, in a safe clinical environment, with personalized follow-up in all stages of the process: consultation, procedure, and post-operative follow-up.

What is vasectomy and how does it work?

Vasectomy works by interrupting the path of sperm, without interfering with hormone production or sexual function. Ejaculation remains normal, it just no longer contains sperm, which prevents pregnancy.
It is considered a permanent method of contraception, so it is indicated for men who have made a conscious and final decision regarding their fertility. Although in some cases it is technically possible to attempt a reversal (vasovasostomy), the results are not guaranteed, so vasectomy should be regarded as a final decision.

How is the procedure performed at the AEGER Prima Clinic?

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia, and takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The urologist accesses the deferent ducts through small incisions or punctures in the scrotal area, proceeding to interrupt them. The patient can return home on the same day.
Before the procedure, a consultation is held where the doctor analyzes the patient's medical history, clarifies any doubts, and defines the most suitable plan for each situation.

What are the advantages of vasectomy?

High efficacy: Vasectomy is one of the contraceptive methods with the lowest failure rate available.
Quick and minimally invasive procedure: Performed in a consultation, without the need for hospitalization.
No impact on sexual function: Does not affect testosterone production, libido, erection, or ejaculation.
Permanent solution: Eliminates the need for other contraceptive methods after confirmation of efficacy.
Quick recovery: Most patients resume their usual activities within a few days.

What is evaluated in a vasectomy consultation?

01. Medical and family history

The urologist evaluates the patient's overall health and identifies any factors that may influence the procedure, such as surgical history or relevant medical conditions.

02. Contraceptive objectives and decision

It is essential that the patient understands the permanent nature of the procedure. The doctor ensures that the decision is informed, conscious, and free from external pressures.

03. Explanation of risks and expectations

The possible risks, rare complications, and necessary follow-up period after vasectomy are explained, including laboratory confirmation of the absence of sperm.

04. Physical examination

A assessment of the genital area is performed to confirm that the procedure can be performed safely and to define the most suitable technical approach.
