How The Y Factor Can Help
Looking for a safe, effective, affordable and permanent form of birth control in Houston? The Y Factor specializes in both vasectomy and sperm retrievals.
The Y Factor uses the no-scalpel, no-needle method of performing a vasectomy. A local anesthetic is administered through a vapor spray administered into the skin, requires no incision. This no-needle method provides less discomfort and bruising.
All patients will meet with one of our specialty trained urological medical providers for a consultation to go over the no-scalpel vasectomy procedure before scheduling an appointment for the actual procedure with Dr. Williams.

The Y Factor is committed to providing premium quality care at the lowest price for our patients and that is why we always recommend the no-scalpel vasectomy performed by Dr. Russel Williams.
Dr. Williams has personal experience with 25 years of vasectomy procedures with the vasectomy complication rate of 1-2%. Dr. Russel Williams follows the AUA guidelines and uses titanium vasal clips to seal the vas deferens.
If you want a vasectomy, then call us and we will set your appointment. Most insurances will allow you to have the consult and the procedure on the same day. You do not have to come back after the vasectomy, and we will communicate through your patient portal about the semen analysis result.
Eat before you come. Bring supportive or tight underwear. Don’t take aspirin the week leading up to the vasectomy. Shave or cut the hairs on the front of the scrotum. Call us for any questions.
The no-scalpel vasectomy is an affordable in-office procedure. Most commercial insurance companies cover this procedure. The Y Factor also offers attractive prices for patients without insurance. Please contact our office regarding scheduling and the pricing.
The Y Factor’s commitment to care means we want a urologist available to see patients when they need it. In order to minimize no-shows, The Y Factor requires a deposit for special procedures like the no-scalpel vasectomy, Shang Ring Circumcision, and other select procedures. This deposit will be applied to the cost of your urological services or forfeited if you no-show.
*100% of the deposit will be forfeited for no shows or cancellations less than 48 hours prior to the procedure. All cancellations must be via phone call and communication to our office staff. All cancellations or reschedule appointments greater than 48 hours before your procedure qualify for a refund or reapply the deposit to that later date.
We will be happy to check your insurance as a courtesy, it often does. If not, we have cash prices and accept “Care Credit”.
Eight weeks and ten weeks. If you have a conflict, then you can readjust the date. Continue with an alternative form of birth control until you get word from us that your semen analysis is clear.
