The Process
Your Vasectomy in Costa Rica journey from consultation to completion
Day 1
Consultation & Pre-Operative AssessmentMeet with experienced urologist to discuss vasectomy procedure, confirm decision for permanent contraception, review medical history. Discuss technique options: traditional or no-scalpel vasectomy. Sign informed consent. Review post-operative care and recovery expectations.
Day 2
Vasectomy ProcedureQuick outpatient procedure at Centro Médico Cariari. Local anesthetic numbs scrotum. Small incision(s) made to access vas deferens (tubes carrying sperm). Each vas deferens cut, sealed, or tied. No-scalpel technique uses small puncture instead of incision. Entire procedure takes 20-30 minutes. Walk out same day.
Days 3-5
Initial RecoveryRest at Adventure Inn with ice packs and scrotal support. Mild discomfort, swelling, bruising normal. Over-the-counter pain medication sufficient for most patients. Avoid heavy lifting, exercise, and sexual activity for one week. Most patients return to desk work within 2-3 days.
Days 6-7
Follow-Up & Return HomeFollow-up appointment to check healing. Cleared to resume most normal activities including exercise. Sexual activity can resume after one week but use backup contraception until confirmed sterile. Schedule semen analysis for 8-12 weeks post-procedure.
8-12 Weeks
Confirmation TestingSemen analysis performed to confirm no sperm present. Typically requires 15-20 ejaculations to clear remaining sperm from vas deferens. Once two consecutive tests show zero sperm, vasectomy confirmed effective and no backup contraception needed.
