Private Vasectomy
Why Wait?
There are many reasons why you may be considering ‘the snip’, whatever your reason Summerfield Healthcare’s Private Vasectomy service is here to help.
Some men may be tempted to laugh at the procedure, however, with more than 15,000 British men opting to have a vasectomy every year, it is a common operation. The procedure is straightforward and there is very little recovery time, making it an excellent choice for permanent contraception.
Although vasectomy surgery can be done through the NHS, private surgery allows you to be seen, and book the procedure, quickly and although we offer pre-op advice there is no mandatory counselling.
We can also be flexible and work to your schedule in terms of when the surgery takes place.
The Procedure
A vasectomy is a common procedure for men who are already parents or for those who have chosen not to have children, as having a vasectomy means you will not be able to father any more children.
The procedure is done as outpatient surgery and takes around 15-20 minutes using local anaesthetic. You will be free to go home and carry on with your life the same day you come in.
You will also need to continue to use protection for 8-12 weeks after the surgery because some sperm will remain in the vas deferens tubes after the operation but a vasectomy will not affect your sex drive, testosterone (male hormone) levels, or erections.
Weekly clinics are carried out by Mr Andrew Garnham and Mr Hans-Joerg Zief, both experienced surgeons with over 20 years in the NHS. Our clinics take place across the Midlands giving you the option of a vasectomy in Wolverhampton or a vasectomy in Shrewsbury.

“After 5 years of running scared I finally took the plunge, and only wish I had 5 years ago. The surgeon was very calming and took good care of me. A week down the line and there is some mild discomfort but I’m on the mend. I’ve already recommended you to many friends. Brilliant service.”
