A vasectomy is usually performed in the office of urologist, a doctor who specializes in the male urinary tract and reproductive system. In some cases, the urologist may decide to do a vasectomy in an outpatient surgery center or a hospital.

Do doctors get vasectomies?

You can get a vasectomy at many Planned Parenthood health centers, a doctor's office, hospital, or health clinic.

What age will doctors do a vasectomy?

A vasectomy can be legally performed on someone older than 18, but some doctors may refuse to do the procedure because they believe that this permanent procedure isn't appropriate for someone at a relatively young age. As a person gets older, vasectomies become more common and more widely accepted.
