Take Control of Your Family Planning
A vasectomy at Rose City Urology is a quick, in-office procedure performed by Dr. Ryan Tubre. It’s a safe and highly effective form of permanent birth control for men. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we offer nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) as an inhalation anesthetic. This allows you to stay relaxed and calm without the need for general anesthesia, and return home the same day with minimal downtime.
VASECTOMY
What is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a simple surgical procedure that blocks the tubes (vas deferens) that carry sperm from the testicles.
After a vasectomy, sperm can no longer reach the semen that is ejaculated during orgasm, making pregnancy impossible. The procedure does not affect sexual performance, hormone levels, or libido.

Recovery After Vasectomy
Recovery is usually simple and straightforward. Most men experience only mild discomfort or swelling, which resolves within a few days. Tips for a smooth recovery:
Rest and limit heavy activities for 48 hours
Apply ice packs as directed
Wear supportive underwear
Follow all aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Tubre
You’ll also need to continue using other birth control methods until a follow-up sperm test confirms that your semen is sperm-free.
