Vasectomy · Cumming Clinic
A vasectomy plan that starts at our Cumming clinic
Our urologists meet you first at the Cumming Clinic, Suite 180, 4150 Deputy Bill Cantrell Memorial Rd. If you decide to go ahead, the no-scalpel vasectomy itself is scheduled at our Johns Creek Clinic & Surgery Center, 10730 Medlock Bridge Rd.
What the Cumming visit is for
The appointment on Deputy Bill Cantrell Memorial Rd is a conversation first. We confirm that a permanent method is what you want, walk through how sperm is kept out of the semen by sealing the vas deferens, and leave time for questions about intimacy, downtime and when the method starts to work. Sexual drive and pleasure are not reduced by the operation; protection against sexually transmitted infections is not part of what it does, so condoms still have a role there.
Where the no-scalpel procedure is done
The technique our urologists use does not need stitches and is performed with local anesthesia as an outpatient case at 10730 Medlock Bridge Rd. You leave for home afterward the same day. The Cumming physicians and the Johns Creek operating rooms belong to one practice, so your chart goes with you. If you later wish the tubes reconnected, that is a different operation; the Advanced Urology vasectomy reversal page explains it.
How we ask you to prepare, and how the first week usually feels
Two weeks out, pause NSAIDs such as aspirin. Two days out, clean and shave the scrotal skin. Plan a ride home and pack close-fitting cotton underwear. Rest is the plan for the first forty-eight hours; a dull ache, plus bruising and modest swelling, is typical, and short sessions of ice plus supportive underwear are usually enough. Desk work often resumes on day three or four, while jobs that involve lifting may need a longer pause. Wait for our urologist’s go-ahead before any straining, bicycle time or intercourse. A week or two is a typical return to feeling ordinary.
Do not count on the operation immediately. Keep a backup contraceptive until lab work shows the semen is clear of sperm, often near the 90-day mark or following 15–20 ejaculations.
What we can say about coverage, without a dollar figure
Plenty of employer and private plans will pay for the procedure, whereas Medicare and Medicaid typically leave it uncovered. A self-pay path exists. Call 678-344-8900 and we will review your plan or a self-pay option. The Advanced Urology vasectomy page publishes an effectiveness figure above 99 percent — about 15–20 pregnancies per 10,000 across year one — and we still wait for the semen analysis to come back clear before dropping other contraception.
