Vasectomy in Windhoek

About this service

A vasectomy is a permanent male contraception procedure available in Windhoek, performed by a visiting surgeon to prevent sperm from reaching the semen. It involves a small procedure on the tubes carrying sperm and is considered a permanent form of contraception, so it's usually chosen by men who are confident they don't want children in future. It doesn't affect hormone levels, sex drive or the ability to ejaculate.

At Eastgate Clinic, vasectomy is performed in our on-site day theatre, with consultation and follow-up handled by your GP in our rooms. Your doctor will discuss whether vasectomy is the right choice for you.

• Mild swelling and discomfort in the scrotum for a few days is common
