| Assuming you are an adult, have already had all the children you intend to and your partner agrees, then go see your primary physician for a referral to an urologist.
I had mine when I was 30, married with 2 kids. My wife was fine as I took the load of birth control off of her. Everything works as well as before, I'm 62 and still enjoy an active sex life. The definition of vasectomy is, "never having to sat you are sorry". |

| The thing to do is to ask your doctor those questions. He is qualified, trained, and licensed to give you all the correct information and advice you need. People on this site are not!! Good luck.

| By law he only need be 18. The age limitations are imposed by the doctor, or by the clinic. I got mine just before my 22nd birthday.
The cost depends on his insurance. Back in 1989, I paid $250 cash for the whole thing. Today it would cost about $400-$800 with insurance paying most of the bill. If he works for a government agency, then it may cost him nothing because they usually have good insurance. There are no laws stating that you have to have a certain number of children. That is up to the doctor or the clinic as well. They don’t check, so he can lie about the number of children. I told them I had one and didn’t want any more. The truth is, I don’t have any, and don’t want them ever. No there is no law that says you must be married. Again this is up to the doctor or the clinic. He will have to ask his doctor for a referral to a urologist. Then the urologist will decide. If he or she says no, then go to a different one. Some doctors or clinics impose their own beliefs. Usually it is their personal ethics or religion that makes them refuse. Others may be afraid that his family will sue them. So to answer your questions: 18, $400-$800, and none. I know all this because I am almost 41. I got my vasectomy at age 21. It has been almost 20 years, and the novelty still has not warn off! BTW: It does not hurt! |
