A vasectomy question? Our Snellville team is glad to help
For Loganville men, the whole vasectomy journey, from the first chat to the procedure and follow-up, happens with our urologists at our Snellville Clinic & Surgery Center, 1557 Janmar Rd.
Start with a chat
Bring your questions, big or small. We’ll explain how a vasectomy works and make sure it feels right for you, since it’s meant to be permanent.
Quick and done under local anesthesia
Our urologists use a no-scalpel approach: a tiny opening gives access to each vas deferens, which is cut and sealed, with no stitches afterward. Most men are home resting the same afternoon, with a couple of easy days ahead. It takes about three months before a semen test can confirm it’s working, so use other birth control until then.
Coverage
Coverage varies: commercial plans frequently include vasectomy, while Medicare and Medicaid generally don’t. Self-pay rates exist too. Give us a call and we’ll go over yours with you.

Is a vasectomy right for you?
A vasectomy is meant for men who are sure they don’t want more children. As Advanced Urology’s vasectomy page explains, it doesn’t lower sex drive or change how sex feels. If you’re still deciding, take your time and talk it over at home. Reversal is sometimes possible down the road, though it’s a bigger operation than the vasectomy itself.
Getting ready
About two weeks ahead, stop aspirin and similar pain relievers unless a doctor has told you to keep taking them. Clean and trim the area a day or two before. Plan for someone to drive you home, and have snug, supportive underwear and an ice pack ready for the first couple of days.
A few things men often ask
It won’t protect you from sexually transmitted infections, so condoms still matter for that. Most men take it easy for a couple of days and then ease back into routine, avoiding heavy lifting until we say it’s fine.
