Vasectomy
Vasectomy Counseling and Procedures
A vasectomy is a procedure a man may undergo to achieve, what is considered to be, permanent birth control. It entails clamping, cutting or otherwise sealing the tubes from each testicle that allow sperm to mix with seminal fluid. A vasectomy only becomes effective after all existing sperm beyond the vasectomy site are gone. Pregnancy may still occur until the sperm count is at zero. Vasectomies do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases or HIV/AIDS.
THD offers vasectomy information and counseling in English and Spanish. By contracting with local medical doctors, THD is also able to offer vasectomies on a sliding scale fee-for-service to those who meet eligibility requirements.
