Preparation for a vasectomy

Shave the scrotum. Shaving is usually performed dry without water or soap and with a razor blade or straight razor, by applying traction over the skin. This way, there is less chance of injury to the scrotum than when shaving with water or with an electric razor. Do not use depilatory cream.

We recommend that the patient be accompanied; it is also recommended that the patient avoid coffee or other stimulants the morning of the vasectomy.

Patients who are particularly nervous or who have already had vagal shock before, can take one Gravol 50 mg one hour before surgery.
