Experienced urologists at New York Urology Specialists are pleased to offer no-scalpel, no-needle minimally invasive vasectomy at its offices in New York City.  

Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is an experienced vasectomy specialist who has performed well over 500 vasectomies; he is trained in the no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy procedure. The vasectomy procedure is usually done under local anesthesia in our office.  In New York State, a mandatory 30 day waiting period is required after the initial consultation before vasectomy is performed. This law is designed to prevent ‘rush’ decisions that some men may regret later.

Vasectomy in NYC

What is Vasectomy?

Vasectomy refers to a surgical procedure designed to induce infertility in males.  Vasectomy is a very effective contraception method with a failure rate of less than 0.05% (1 in 2000) which is much better than condoms or “the Pill” used by women.

The vasectomy procedure involves making a small incision in the scrotal skin which allows the urologist to isolate and transect the vas deferens.   Vas deferens carries the sperm from the testicle to the outside. Once the vas deference is cut, the sperm cannot leave the testicle and the man is sterile.  A no-scalpel vasectomy usually takes around 30 minutes to perform.

Vasectomy is a permanent irreversible method of male birth control. Vasectomy is much less expensive than other contraceptive methods including tubal ligation in women. Read about vasectomy costs at New York Urology Specialists. Recovery after vasectomy is much quicker than after tubal ligation.

Where to Get No-Scalpel Vasectomy in NYC?

At New York Urology Specialists, we offer no-scalpel vasectomy procedure for men. We do NOT require a referral for a vasectomy.

Call/text today: 1-646-663-5922 or make an appointment online. Same-day virtual video appointments and in-person appointments are available.

We perform a no-scalpel vasectomy, vasectomy reversal, cosmetic circumcision, circumcision revision, penile frenuloplasty, and offer treatment for phimosis, balanitis, penile irritation, and redness. We treat sexual and erection problems and offer comprehensive STD testing for infections. We offer confidential appointments. Our vasectomy prices are affordable with or without insurance. Free insurance verification is available.

How Effective is Vasectomy?

Vasectomy is very effective and much more effective than condoms or the ‘pill” in preventing unwanted pregnancies.  The long-term success rate of vasectomy is 99.9%. 

Vasectomy is not effective immediately as there is residual sperm in the “tubing”.  It typically takes 3 months for a man to become sterile.  The man should continue using other birth control methods after vasectomy until two post-vasectomy semen specimens show no sperm. These are usually performed 12 weeks after the vasectomy.

Vasectomy is less invasive and less risky than tubal ligation in women. It is also less costly.

NEW! – Vasectomy Under Local Anesthesia or Full Sedation Anesthesia in New York City

While most patients prefer to have local anesthesia (awake with the scrotum “ballsac” numb) for no-scalpel vasectomy; some men prefer to be completely asleep during the procedure. New York Urology Specialists has achieved accreditation for office-based surgery from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF), which demonstrates a commitment to safely and the highest standards in sterility.   If you desire IV sedation anesthesia (going to sleep), you will to specifically request it during the initial appointment.  Sedation anesthesia requires additional scheduling. Men over the age of 45 and those with medical problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, severe obesity would need to see their primary care doctor. Your primary care doctor may need to do additional testing to make sure that anesthesia can be safely administered.

We offer no-scalpel vasectomy to patients within driving distance to our offices.  Our patients come from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

Who is a Candidate for Vasectomy?

Men who are not interested in having children in the future are appropriate candidates for a vasectomy.  Age, when men get a vasectomy, varies depending on individual circumstances.

How Many Incisions are Made for No-Scalpel Vasectomy?

At New York Urology Specialists, over 90% of no-scalpel, no-needle vasectomies are performed through one small opening in the scrotum usually less than 1 cm long.  Learn the differences between no-scalpel and traditional vasectomy.

What Are Other Options Available for Men for Birth Control?

A number of other options are available for birth control for men. These include abstinence from sexual intercourse, male condoms, and coitus interruptus.   These options are not as effective as vasectomy.

What Are Other Options Available for Women for Birth Control?

The number of contraceptive options is wider for women. These include a female condom, contraceptive pills or implants for women, tubal ligation and IUD (intrauterine devices). Tubal ‘plugs’ are also available as an option.

Would I Need to use Condoms after Vasectomy?

After your vasectomy is performed by the urological surgeons at New York Urology Specialists,  we advise continuing using the same birth control methods that you were using before the vasectomy.  

Residual sperm takes about 12 weeks to leave the reproductive tract and may lead to pregnancy if other methods of contraception are not used during this period.

We routinely require one or two semen analyses after a vasectomy to verify that vasectomy has been successful. Until we verify using a semen analysis that there is no sperm, we advise that you rely on other contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy.

  • Vasectomy is one of the most effective birth control methods.

Vasectomy & Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)

Vasectomy does not protect men from getting sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Vasectomy does not prevent transmission of STDs from a man with an infection to a woman.

While vasectomy is effective in protecting you from pregnancy, we advise that you continue using safe sex methods such as abstinence and condoms to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

What is the Recovery Time after Vasectomy?

Recovery after no-scalpel vasectomy is fairly quick.   Most men are able to resume their normal activities within a few days. Most men experience mild soreness and pain for a few days after a vasectomy that may last up to 1-2 weeks after the procedure.

Return to Work After Vasectomy

Each man has a different threshold for pain. Many men working in an office environment are able to return to work in 1-2 days.  Men who work in a more physically demanding environment (walking/lifting/etc) may need to take more time off to recover after vasectomy.

Pain during Vasectomy under Local Anesthesia

Most men who undergo vasectomy at New York Urology Specialists report pain score of 1-3 out of 10 during a vasectomy, with 1 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain of their life.  Over 95% of no-scalpel vasectomy procedures are performed under local anesthesia.

Things that Matter: Sex, Ejaculation, and Orgasm after Vasectomy

One of the most common questions we are asked is ‘when can I resume having sex after vasectomy”?   Many men are concerned about how vasectomy affects ejaculation and orgasm.

Can Vasectomy be Reversed?

While vasectomy is considered a non-reversible contraceptive method, it may be possible to reverse vasectomy.  While success rates of vasectomy reversal can be as high as 90%, there is no guarantee. In addition, vasectomy reversal is a costly procedure. We advise that men who are not certain of whether they want more children to rely on other reversible methods of birth control.

If you had a vasectomy and now have a change of your mind or heart and want to have children after vasectomy, please contact us to discuss pregnancy options after vasectomy.  A number of options including vasectomy reversal may be appropriate.

Overall, it was a good experience. Dr. Shteynshlyuger (Dr. Alex) was very nice, warm and helpful. He performed a Shang Ring circumcision for me and the procedure went well. I'm pleased with the results and there were no complications. If anyone is interested in the shang ring circumcision in the tristate area, then I'd recommend him. The whole procedure is $1850, which includes the initial consultation (provided that ther are no complications) and every follow up visit up to six months.
