Prairie du Chien, WI – If you have been considering a vasectomy and enjoy basketball, Dr. Jonathan Rippentrop, Urologist at Crossing Rivers Health, advises that March may be the perfect time to schedule your appointment. “A vasectomy is a quick in-office procedure that will have you back in your recliner, same-day, for recovery- just in time to watch the big basketball tournament,” Rippentrop explains. “We recommend resting a day or two after the procedure and you should be completely recovered within a week.”

Rippentrop adds, “The only change a vasectomy should make in a man’s life is that he will no longer be fertile.” Rippentrop advises that men who are considering having a vasectomy should do so carefully. “The operation is safe, easy and effective, but it's also permanent. There's no guaranteed way to reverse the operation.” Important information about vasectomies, including a list of commonly asked questions, can be found at crossingrivers.org/march.

The expert urology team at Crossing Rivers Health Center for Specialty Care includes Dr. Jonathan Rippentrop, Dr. Logan Hoxie, Dr. Steven Mindrup, and Dr. Thomas Richardson. Together, the team has over 60 years of experience.

Vasectomy procedures can be scheduled easily, without a provider’s referral, at the Crossing Rivers Health Center for Specialty Care by calling 608.357.2525.
