What Is A Vasectomy?
Family planning is personal, and at Modern Urology, we respect your decisions with care and clarity. A vasectomy procedure offers a straightforward solution for men seeking a reliable form of birth control. Urologic surgeons Dr. Adam De Fazio and Dr. José Vilaró provide precision and personalized care in a supportive setting. A vasectomy procedure involves sealing or cutting the vas deferens to stop sperm from mixing with semen. This prevents pregnancy while allowing normal sexual function. The vasectomy cost varies based on several factors, including the specific technique used and insurance coverage. Many find it to be a cost-effective choice compared to other birth control methods. Contact our Miami, FL practice to schedule a consultation to get detailed information on options and what to expect from the procedure.
How Is A Vasectomy Performed?
The procedure is performed in the office with local anesthesia. A conventional vasectomy procedure requires small incisions to access the vas deferens. A no-scalpel technique is also available, which involves a tiny puncture instead of an incision. The vas deferens is then sealed, tied, or clipped to prevent sperm from reaching the semen. Some men may decide later to have a vasectomy reversal. This procedure reconnects the vas deferens to allow sperm to mix with semen again. Success depends on various factors, including the time since the original vasectomy procedure. After the procedure, vasectomy recovery is straightforward for most men. Mild discomfort and swelling are common, but rest and ice packs help. Most return to light activity within a few days and normal routines within a week.
What Should I Expect after A Vasectomy?
After a vasectomy, you can expect a relatively quick and smooth recovery with minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising in the scrotal area for a few days following the procedure. These symptoms can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and the use of ice packs. It is recommended to rest for 24 to 48 hours and to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and sexual activity for about a week. While the procedure is highly effective, you should continue using another form of contraception until a follow-up semen analysis confirms that no sperm are present. At Modern Urology Group, our team provides clear post-operative care instructions and ongoing support to help ensure a safe and comfortable recovery.
What Are the Benefits of A Vasectomy?
A vasectomy procedure is a reliable and long-term birth control method. It does not affect testosterone levels, sexual function, or pleasure. Many Miami, FL-area men appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of the procedure at Modern Urology. Benefits of a vasectomy include:
- Highly effective in preventing pregnancy
- Quick and simple procedure performed in-office

Modern Urology Reviews
Tengo la mejor opinión del staff y del dr José Vilaro por el trato tan respetuoso y profesional y los que lean este mensaje les digo que este servicio es excelente,por lo que no duden en asistir al mismo.Gracias.
I don't typically write reviews on Google, but Dr. Vilaro absolutely deserves an exception, and I only wish I'd done this sooner. From the moment I first saw him, it was clear that he was the embodiment of patience and empathy. He took the time to carefully listen to my symptoms, no matter how abrupt or complex, and made sure I fully understood every possible course of treatment by writing things out and diagramming them. Although my symptoms weren't pathogenic and couldn't be treated immediately, Dr. Vilaro went above and beyond by referring me to the right specialists, who are now providing excellent care. I’m truly grateful for his thoughtful and thorough approach.
Very grateful especially to Dr. Vilaro, after 10 years of suffering from pain due to kidney stones, he was the only one who gave the solution to my problem, in addition to being a good professional, he is an incredible human being. May God continue to bless you to give the best to your patients. I rarely recommend someone, this is the exception, I recommend this clinic a thousand times and especially Dr. Vilaro.
Very friendly and professional
Very professional, very good treatment from the front desk to the doctor

Who Is a Candidate for a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a good option for men who are certain they don't want to have children in the future. Ideal candidates are in stable life situations, understand that the procedure is meant to be permanent, and are comfortable with long-term birth control responsibility. It's also a great choice for those who want a low-maintenance, hormone-free solution to prevent pregnancy. If you're considering it, our providers at Modern Urology can help you weigh your options and make sure it's the right fit for your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are vasectomies reversible?
A vasectomy can be reversed in many cases, but success isn't always guaranteed. The chances of restoring fertility depend on how long it's been since the vasectomy and other individual factors. If you're considering a vasectomy reversal in the future, it's important to talk through your options with our team before your procedure.
How long does a vasectomy take?
A vasectomy is a quick procedure that usually takes about 20 – 30 minutes. It's done in-office with local anesthesia, so you're awake, but the area is numbed. Most people are in and out the same day with minimal downtime.
Does a vasectomy hurt?
You might feel a little pressure or tugging during the procedure, but it shouldn't be painful thanks to the numbing medicine. Afterward, some soreness or swelling is normal for a few days, but it's usually mild and can be managed with rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers. Most people feel back to normal within a week.
