A Common Birth Control Option
*According to the Urology Care Foundation
What Is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that involves severing the vas deferens, the small tube responsible for carrying sperm from the testicles to the urethra. When sperm is no longer present in the semen, the chances of sexual intercourse resulting in pregnancy are zero.
Contrary to popular belief, the surgery will not affect your sex life or increase your chances of developing prostate cancer. Although your testes will continue to produce both sperm and semen, the sperm is naturally absorbed by your body.
Outside of abstinence, a vasectomy is the best method of birth control available. It has a failure rate of less than one percent and most pregnancies that occur after the procedure are a result of the patient failing to wait until sperm cells are no longer present in the semen.
How Is a Vasectomy Performed? A Treatment Timeline
Dr. Herrera performs vasectomy procedures out of a local hospital or our Tijuana office. Our office is on the sixth floor of the NewCity Medical Plaza Building in the high-end Zona Rio district. Dr. Herrera performs no-scalpel vasectomies, so the incisions are extremely small and result in minimal scarring. The typical surgery involves several steps:
Treatment is virtually painless and can be completed in 30 minutes or less.

Worried You'll Change Your Mind? We Offer Vasectomy Reversal in Tijuana
A vasectomy is considered a permanent form of birth control. However, modern urology and Dr. Herrera's expertise ensure that no door is closed forever. If you've changed your mind about having children, you can explore a vasectomy reversal with Dr. Herrera.
During a vasectomy reversal, our board-certified urologist can use microsurgical techniques to reattach the vas deferens, allowing sperm to enter the semen once again.
Dr. Herrera can perform vasectomy reversal at his offices in Tijuana, Mexico, even if your initial surgery was over 10 years ago.
FAQ About Vasectomies
Will my vasectomy hurt?
Dr. Herrera takes every precaution to minimize discomfort during vasectomy procedures. He will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment site before beginning, so you may just feel a pulling sensation.
What happens to the sperm?
While the sperm will no longer enter your semen, your testes will still produce it. However, with nowhere to go, the sperm will eventually dissolve, and the proteins will be reabsorbed by your body. This won't change your hormone levels or the release of testosterone from the testicles.
Shouldn’t my partner just have her tubes tied?
A tubal ligation is a more expensive, complex, and invasive procedure than a vasectomy, with a longer and more painful recovery. A vasectomy can be performed in-office and with a local anesthetic in about 30 minutes. Vasectomies also have a higher success rate and the lowest risk of unwanted pregnancy among all birth control methods, including tubal ligation.
