Launch (the procedure)
Takes about 15 minutes. Shorter than your lunch break. Way shorter than a walk on the moon.
THE SNIPby Virginia Urology
The Vasectomy Club is now accepting members.
You’ve handled bigger missions than this. A vasectomy at Virginia Urology is quick and covered by most insurance plans. With over 1,500 missions a year, Central Virginia’s vasectomy experts are at the controls, and same-day launches are available when you’re ready.
// Flight data
Most guys picture something out of a sci-fi movie. Here’s the actual flight data:
Takes about 15 minutes. Shorter than your lunch break. Way shorter than a walk on the moon.
Every vasectomy is performed at our Stony Point location, an easy “flight” from anywhere in Richmond and Central Virginia.
A vasectomy is one of the most reliable forms of birth control on this planet.
Just a short orbit on the couch, then back to normal.
// Cost & Insurance
The question every VU Vasectomy Club member asks first: “What’s this going to cost me?”
Contact Mission Control“What’s this going to cost me?”
Good news from mission control. Most insurance plans cover a vasectomy, and if you’ve already met your deductible this year, your cost may be a lot smaller than you think.
// Pick your flight plan
Meet your urologist and have your procedure in the same visit. Our same-day vasectomies use local anesthesia to numb the area, and the procedure itself takes less than 15 minutes.

Schedule a Consultation// Meet the crew
VU performs over 1,500 vasectomies a year, more than anyone in Central Virginia. Every procedure is performed by a board-certified urologist who does this every week.
One vasectomy, a whole team for life. From kidney stones to Low T and men’s health, you’re already a member whenever you need us.
// How it works
Text “SNIP” to (804) 330-9105 or call to schedule your appointment.
Same day consult and procedures available. Day of: meet with your urologist, ask any questions, and then the procedure takes between 5-10 minutes.
Take it easy for a couple of days. Skip heavy lifting and hard workouts for about a week.
A simple mail-in semen test kit at about 12 weeks post-procedure allows you to provide a sample at your convenience in the comfort of your home. Until then, keep using other birth control.*
*A vasectomy doesn’t work right away. You’re protected only after your follow-up test confirms it.
// Myth vs. fact
It lowers testosterone.
No. Your hormones are made and released exactly as before.
It hurts my sex life.
No. Erections, sex drive, and orgasm don’t change.
Things will look or feel different.
Sperm is a tiny part of semen, so you won’t notice a difference.
It’s really painful.
Most men describe brief pressure and a few days of mild soreness.
It works right away.
Not yet. Use other birth control until your follow-up test confirms success.
I can just reverse it later.
Treat it as permanent. Reversal is possible but not guaranteed.
