Preparing For Your Vasectomy If you can, avoid the use of A.S.A. (or Aspirin®) in the week before, and alcohol the day of, your vasectomy. Don't worry if you normally use this medication for a medical condition. Shave the penis and scrotum the day before with the provided razor. With this razor you shave dry...no shaving cream, no soap, no water. It removes all the hair without hurting you. If in doubt about how much to take off, take off more. Some men have used depilatory (Neet®) cream: experience has shown that this causes painful sensitivity in many cases. On the day of the procedure take a shower and scrub the scrotum well with soap and clean beneath the foreskin (if you are uncircumcised)...if the scrotum is very tight, take a hot bath. Don't use powder or talcum on the scrotum. Wear the scrotal support into the clinic, do not bring it in a bag. You need not bring your 'Vasectomy Kit'. Make sure you wear old clothing because the iodine used to prepare you may stain. Take the prescribed diazepam (Valium®) one hour prior to the appointment (the doctor may also suggest that you take 50 mg of Gravol® if you get queasy with medical things). Arrive 15 minutes early (if you are late, your appointment will be cancelled and you will be charged). Arrange for a lift home 30 minutes after your appointment time (you will be asked to remain at the clinic for about 15 minutes after the procedure.) You should not drive home yourself. In all, expect to be there for approximately 45 minutes. The information on this page is reproduced by kind permission of Dr. Ronald S. Weiss.
