Answers to typical questions Before Making an Appointment
Before making a vasectomy appointment, Dr. Benderev can answer any other
questions you may have, during your Consultation appointment.
Can the Vasectomy Consultation and Procedure be scheduled for the same day?
No, the two services must be separated by at least two days. You may do the scheduling of both the Consultation and Vasectomy appointments at one sitting, but the two services must be separated by at least two days. After you schedule the Consultation, you will need to exit and re-enter your patient portal to schedule the Vasectomy procedure. Please note that your Vasectomy Procedure date should be at least two days after your Consultation date. All Consultations are online via Telehealth.
If I do not want any more children now, can I save some sperm, just in case I need them later?
Yes, we offer a simple mail-in kit for cryopreservation of sperm designed to save sperm for 5 years. You can click here for more information.
Do I need a driver to take me home after my procedure?
Yes, we strongly recommend arranging a ride home. While uncommon, patients can experience lightheadedness and fainting spells just after the procedure.
Do I need to return for a post procedure appointment?
Routinely, no.
If my insurance does not cover the vasectomy with Dr. Benderev, what is the cash cost?
The cash price for the Dr. Benderev vasectomy consult is $150 and the vasectomy procedure with three months of post-operative care is $990. We have kept a reasonable cost compared to the $4,000+ costs found in some Los Angeles and other metropolitan areas, so as to keep it affordable for a wider range of patients.
Do I need to fast (avoid eating) before my vasectomy?
No. In fact, you will want to have a light meal within a couple of hours of your arrival for your procedure.
What are the major restrictions after the vasectomy?
You will want to avoid any sex, exercise and lifting anything over 15 pounds for one week after your vasectomy.
Can I send my semen from home for testing after the vasectomy to see if my sperm are gone or will I need to take my specimen(s) to a laboratory
Yes, we offer a simple home-based kit for semen testing.
