A vasectomy will not affect your testosterone levels, which means that your sex drive should also not be affected. You will still have erections, climax, and ejaculate in the same way as you did before the operation.

After your operation, your semen will be tested to check that there are no sperm present. Until you produce two clear semen tests, you will need to make sure that when having sex, you use another form of contraception, such as a condom. You will normally be tested eight weeks after your surgery.

In a very small number of vasectomy cases, the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm from your testicles and are cut during the procedure) can sometimes reconnect over a period of time. This means that the vasectomy will no longer be an effective form of contraception. However, it is very rare for this to happen with 1 in 2,000 men becoming fertile again in this way.
