A vasectomy is a quick procedure that block the right and left vas deferal tubes. The doctor locates the tubes under the skin and holds them in place with a small clamp. The doctor makes one tiny puncture with a special instrument, the Madajet, that delivers local anesthesia without a needle. It creates a high pressure spray that allows the anesthetic agent to penetrate the scrotal skin without causing pain.
After this, the doctor will gently stretch the opening so the tubes can be reached. Through this tiny opening both tubes are temporarily lifted out and then blocked.As the result of this, you will ejaculate semen without sperm.

The copper IUD uses copper to keep sperm at bay and stop an egg from implanting itself. On the other hand, the hormonal IUD releases a hormone called progestin, which thickens cervical mucus. It keeps sperm out and can even stop ovulation.

I’ve been working in reproductive and sexual health since residency, and throughout my practice since graduating in 2017. I have had the privilege of working for, and learning from, the most skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate people and organizations in reproductive care in Vancouver, including the Willow Clinic, Options for Sexual Health, and the Elizabeth Bagshaw Clinic. I have dedicated my practice to specialized areas, including medical and surgical abortion, contraception counselling, IUD and Implant care, and vasectomy.
During this time, I’ve learned that regardless of who you are, what you do, or your personal beliefs and values, everyone faces some level of worry or uncertainty when it comes to these decisions, especially if it’s the first time you’re going through it. My priority is always making sure you feel confident in your decision, and comfortable during the procedure, whether this means making sure we address your worries about pain, bringing in a trusted friend or family member to sit with you through the procedure, or just having a conversation about your concerns. I hope you feel good about your decision in trusting me with your reproductive care, and look forward to meeting you at Community and Choice.
