The Week Before Your Vasectomy
Starting seven days before the procedure, do not take any aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medication. These thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding. You can still take other pain relief medication like paracetamol.
In addition to aspirin, you must entirely avoid Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and others. Paracetamol is acceptable because it does not impact your risk of bleeding during and after surgery.
Don’t take aspirin and other anti-inflammatories for your own safety. Our doctors may not perform your procedure if you have taken these drugs recently. If you have a medical requirement to do so, please discuss the situation with our doctors.
