Vasectomy Recovery

I’m Seedless, Now What?

Recovering from a vasectomy doesn’t have to be a hassle. At the Weekend Vasectomy Clinic, we’ve designed a recovery experience that prioritizes your comfort, privacy, and convenience.

Our approach starts with expert care during the procedure and extends to the thoughtful recovery essentials we provide. We include compression shorts, ice packs, and long-lasting anesthetic (up to 72-hours) to help you heal quickly and confidently. Our goal is to ensure you can rest, recover, and get back to your life with ease.

Post-procedure Care

Ice

Apply an ice pack to the vasectomy site for 20 minutes, then remove for 40 minutes. Repeat this cycle as often as needed. Always wrap the ice pack in a towel or use our custom ice pack compression shorts to protect your skin.
