No, vasectomy is not a painful procedure. It is performed under local anaesthesia, and the patient may feel slight discomfort in the scrotal region. They may also experience a pulling sensation during vasectomy, which is generally not painful. Post-procedure they may feel mild pain and swelling, which may last up to 5-7 days.

Yes, the patient is awake during the vasectomy procedure. The surgeon injects local anaesthesia to the skin of the scrotum to numb the area, and the total time required for the whole procedure is 15-30 minutes. The procedure may also be performed under general anaesthesia if the patient requests it or if there is a specific health concern.

The vasectomy prevents sperm from entering the seminal fluid that a man ejaculates. With a vasectomy, the tubes that carry sperm out of a man's testicles are cut and sealed with surgical clips. As a result, a woman's egg cannot be fertilised during ejaculation because the semen does not contain sperm.

Yes, reversal is possible based on the state of vas deferens tubes, condition of the person, and time since the previous vasectomy was done. But there is no guarantee in the percentage of success in conceiving a child. However, with an expert opinion, vasectomy reversal can be performed several times.

Vasectomy is a simple surgical procedure and does not cause many side effects. Some common post-surgery complications are as follows:
Bleeding in the scrotum
Infection at the site of surgery
Swelling and bruising in the scrotal area
Blood-stained semen
Post vasectomy pain syndrome
Abnormal cyst in the testicular region.
