Cost of male sterilization

Years ago in Iran, because of population-control policies, vasectomy was performed free of charge. Today, because those policies have changed, patients are required to pay the full cost. This procedure is not covered by basic or supplemental insurance, and the fee is set by agreement between the specialist and the patient; all costs are paid by the patient.

The cost of vasectomy depends on the facilities and instruments used during the procedure. Because this is a specialized procedure, it should be performed by a specialist. For more information, please contact us.

Important points to observe with vasectomy

Male sterilization is a permanent method of contraception for men However, after vasectomy, you should continue using contraception such as condoms until your doctor confirms, based on sperm-test results, that there are no sperm in the semen. (At least three months.) In general, 15 to 20 ejaculations are needed before no sperm remain in the semen.
Finally, here are 2 points about having this procedure. The first is to be certain about your decision. Think carefully before undergoing vasectomy and discuss it with your spouse, because in many cases, there is no way back.
The final point is that vasectomy is only a method of male contraception and prevents the chance of pregnancy. It does not provide any immunity or protection against sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea, syphilis, AIDS/HIV, genital warts, and others.
To help prevent these infections, protected sexual intercourse is necessary.
