A urologist is a doctor whose focus is on diagnosing and treating issues affecting the urinary tract – and, in men, also the reproductive organs.

Did you know that up to 10% of vasectomy patients change their minds and opt for vasectomy reversal?

A vasectomy is a birth control method for men. It is a small surgical procedure that prevents sperm from exiting the body, thus preventing the possibility of fertilizing a woman’s egg.

Urologists and urological surgeons do a lot more than just treat the urinary tract. They also perform vasectomies, reverse vasectomies, and penile implant treatments to help men with their sexual health.

Men who have decided that they no longer want to have children may decide to get a vasectomy. A vasectomy severs and blocks the sperm ducts that enable the passage of sperm during ejaculation.
