The Surprising Truth About Vasectomies: What No One Tells You Before Making the Decision
It’s a good idea to plan ahead – aim to have your vasectomy done when you know that it’ll be okay for you to have some down time. If you’re glued to the screen every March for the NCAA college basketball tournament, you’ll know why this month is a prime time for men to have vasectomies. Same with multi-day golf tournaments like the Masters in early April. Any time that you know that you can sit and relax for a few days is a perfect window of time to recover.
Vasectomy day and beyond
When it comes to getting ready for the big day, your doctor will give you the prep instructions you need well in advance. At most, you’ll need to stop taking any blood thinners and avoid aspirin a week before the procedure. Same with aspirin-like pain relievers such as ibuprofen and naproxen 48 hours before your vasectomy. If you’re prescribed anti-anxiety medication, you’ll also want to take that before your procedure.
