About Dr. Ryan Tubre
VASECTOMY

Take Control of Your
 Family Planning

A vasectomy at Rose City Urology is a quick, in-office procedure performed by Dr. Ryan Tubre. It’s a safe and highly effective form of permanent birth control for men. To ensure your comfort during the procedure, we offer nitrous oxide (commonly known as laughing gas) as an inhalation anesthetic. This allows you to stay relaxed and calm without the need for general anesthesia, and return home the same day with minimal downtime.

VASECTOMY

What is a Vasectomy?

A vasectomy is a simple surgical procedure that blocks the tubes (vas deferens) that carry sperm from the testicles.

After a vasectomy, sperm can no longer reach the semen that is ejaculated during orgasm, making pregnancy impossible. The procedure does not affect sexual performance, hormone levels, or libido.

Why Choose a Vasectomy?

  • Highly effective (over 99% success rate)
  • Permanent solution — no daily or monthly maintenance
  • Quick, outpatient procedure
  • Minimal recovery time
  • No impact on sexual function
  • Lower long-term costs compared to other birth control methods

What to Expect During the Procedure

Dr. Tubre performs vasectomies as a quick outpatient procedure in the comfort of our office. Typical steps include:

  • Local anesthesia to ensure comfort
  • Small incision or no-scalpel technique
  • Sealing or blocking the vas deferens tubes
  • Minimal sutures (if any)
  • In-office procedure — no hospital visit required
  • Nitrous oxide available for comfort

The entire procedure typically takes about 20–30 minutes, and most patients return to light activities within a few days.

Recovery After Vasectomy

Recovery is usually simple and straightforward. Most men experience only mild discomfort or swelling, which resolves within a few days. Tips for a smooth recovery:

  • Rest and limit heavy activities for 48 hours
  • Apply ice packs as directed
  • Wear supportive underwear
  • Follow all aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Tubre

You’ll also need to continue using other birth control methods until a follow-up sperm test confirms that your semen is sperm-free.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Vasectomy
 

Fast relief of symptoms

Most patients report only mild discomfort. To help you stay relaxed during the procedure, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as a safe, inhaled anesthetic. This option allows you to remain calm without the need for general sedation.

Vasectomy should be considered permanent. Reversals are possible but not guaranteed to be successful.

Most men return to light work within 1–2 days, depending on comfort level.
