MALE STERILISATION (VASECTOMY) AND LOCAL ANAESTHETIC
A vasectomy may not be possible with local anaesthetic for any of the following reasons.
• You have had surgery on your scrotum or it has been injured in the past The issue here is that there may be a lot of scar tissue, which would make the vas hard to move. If the vas can’t be moved easily, the procedure would be painful even with a local anaesthetic. It really would be better to have the vasectomy under general anaesthetic in hospital. The doctor will recommend the best procedure for you.
• You are very overweight This can make it hard to feel the vas easily within the scrotum.
• You feel very nervous about having the vasectomy and you really want to have it done under a general anaesthetic.
• Your scrotum has skin that is unusually thick or very tight.
• When you are examined by the doctor it is found that you need to have surgery under general anaesthetic for something else, like repairing a hernia It is usually better to have the vasectomy done at the same time.
• You have a varicose vein in the scrotum. The doctor may be concerned that it might bleed a lot during the procedure.
• You have had a lot of infections in your genital tract in the past. This can also lead to scarring which can make the operation more difficult and painful.
