A vasectomy should be performed when you are certain that you donâ€™t want to have any more children. If you have any doubts at all then you should consider an alternative method of contraception until you are 100% sure.

If you have a partner then you should discuss having a vasectomy with them and make sure you both agree before you proceed. Some doctors prefer both partners to agree to the procedure after information and counselling. However, it is not a legal requirement to get your partnerâ€™s permission for you to have a vasectomy.

A vasectomy can be performed at any stage of adult life. However, research has shown that if you are under 30 or if you do not have children already then you are more likely to regret having a vasectomy.
