Prostate & Urinary Issues
Vasectomy in Houston, Texas
A vasectomy is an effective and permanent but generally reversible form of male contraception. If you and your partner have made a decision about family planning, this simple procedure means you don't have to think about birth control anymore.
The Y Factor specializes in the no-needle, no-scalpel vasectomy in Houston.
This safe and highly effective technique offers minimal discomfort and a rapid recovery. Once a vasectomy is done and your semen analysis is clear, you and your partner can move forward with confidence without risk of an unexpected pregnancy.
What Is a No-Scalpel Vasectomy?
A vasectomy permanently prevents sperm from leaving your body and causing pregnancy. The procedure works by blocking the vas deferens, small tubes in the scrotum that carry sperm.
At The Y Factor, we use the no-scalpel, no-needle method of performing a vasectomy. While traditional techniques use a needle to numb the area and a small incision to access the vas deferens, we offer a safer, modern and more effective approach.
Before the outpatient procedure, a local anesthetic is administered through a vapor spray into the skin. We then use a specialized instrument requiring no incision, for minimal discomfort and bruising.
After your vasectomy, you should be able to return to work 24 to 36 hours, and a few weeks later, we'll test your semen to verify there's no sperm. We encourage you to continue with an alternative form of birth control until you get the clear.
Vasectomies don't impact sexual function or libido, and they don't affect having an orgasm or ejaculation. It simply removes sperm from the equation.

What our patients says
Dr. Martinez and Dr. Williams are both exceptional. Their expertise and care truly make a difference!
Dr. Kyle Garrow has been great! Highly recommended!
15 years ago, I had a vasectomy and recently needed a sperm retrieval for my wife’s IVF procedure. I also had been experiencing discomfort in my left testicle because of a mass which was discovered during an ultrasound at Dr Williams office. Dr Williams took care of both issues with one single surgery. His office staff were extremely helpful, and all office visits are relatively quick. Hands down, he is one of the best Urologist I have ever been to and would definitely recommend his office to others.
I've been coming here for about 4 or 5 years now and the customer service is great. They're good for the guys out there, but by far I want to say that Danielle needs to stand out and be rewarded I heard professionalism, heard energy on the phone and just very friendly and makes you feel at home.
Easy peasy! And I love the follow ups! Yes I forced my hubz to go! Paid cash! Drove my hubs home n got him a cone otw! He went to work the next day!
