Vasectomy for an unmarried male patient
I'm a 28 year old unmarried male looking to get a vasectomy performed. Are urologists generally willing to perform it for my age and marital profile?
I'm posting this question because online reports seem to suggest that Indian urologists don't do it unless you're married with a 2 year old child.

Hi..Vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive procedure, and it is legally allowed for unmarried and childless men in India. However, thorough counseling is crucial to ensure they understand the irreversible nature of the procedure. We discuss alternative options, potential future regrets, and even sperm banking if they wish to preserve fertility. Informed consent and proper documentation are mandatory to confirm the decision is voluntary. It's essential to respect the individual's autonomy while ensuring they are fully aware of the implications. Bottom line.. yes you can have a vasectomy when you are fully aware of the implications.
