Welcome to Northern Urology, a department of Northern Regional Hospital.
A vasectomy is performed to sterilize or permanently prevent sperm release in men.
It allows for permanent birth control. During this procedure, each testicle is sealed and a local anesthetic is given. The procedure takes around 30 minutes to complete. We offer this service in office and are equipped to provide you personalized care. After surgery, recovery time is typically 1-2 days if you do not perform highly strenuous work.
Due to community transmission of influenza and COVID-19, Northern Regional Hospital is strongly encouraging masks for all visitors.
Visitors should postpone their visit if they have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a cough, sore throat, and/or a fever of 100 degrees or higher. Visitors should be free of symptoms and fever for at least 24 hours. If visitors are actively coughing but have no other symptoms, they should be offered a mask.
