Mayo Clinic urologist Dr. Tobias Kohler says roughly 15 to 20 percent of American men have vasectomies. The procedure takes about 10 minutes, and the recovery time is quick. You might also have some slight swelling or pain initially, so Dr. Kohler advises take it easy. Even though 6 percent of men will eventually have their vasectomy reversed, the procedure should be considered permanent.
