Research has been done to assess the lowest expected and typical percentage of accidental pregnancy (in the US) during the first year of using a variety of birth control methods.
The typical percentages of accidental pregnancy during the first year of use is as follows for commons methods:
Chance (85%)
Spermicides (21%)
Periodic Abstinence (20%)
Withdrawal (18%)
Cap (18%)
Sponge (18-28%)
Diaphragm (18%)
Condom (12%)
UDI (3%)
Pill (3%)
Injectable Progestogen (0.3-0.4)
Implants (0.04-0.03)
Female Sterilization (0.4)
Male Sterilization/Vasectomy (0.15)
These numbers are best guesses by researchers in the field and include a number of caveats, but serve to illustrate the relative risk of pregnancy with alternative forms of birth control.
Houston Vasectomy Clinic specializes in a safe, effective, and quick procedure that will give you piece of mind. Vasectomy is a time-tested procedure that millions of American men have undergone in the privacy and comfort of a medical clinic that allows them to worry less about pregnancy and enjoy sex more with their wife.

A new diagnostic device is designed to test sperm count for men after a vasectomy. At the Houston Vasectomy Clinic, we strongly recommend to our patients that they perform a series of checks after a vasectomy to make sure there is no sperm left in your “tubes”.
ContraVac’s new “SpermCheck Vasectomy” test confirms men’s post-vasectomy sterility at home versus returning to a clinic or lab and should be available in Summer 2008.
SpermCheck is the first easy-to-use diagnostic device with the specificity and sensitivity to detect the low numbers of sperm present immediately after vasectomy.
The Houston Vasectomy Clinic requires two post-vasectomy sperm tests to make sure the procedure was effective at blocking all sperm at the vas deferens.

The Houston Vasectomy Clinic specializes in vasectomy, a simple medical procedure that allows men to put behind them concerns about pregnancy. Vasctomy is an in-office procedure that blocks the flow of sperm from the testicles to the vas deferens. Without sperm being able to enter a man’s ejaculate, pregnancy is impossible.
Vasectomy does not affect the production of testosterone, the male sex hormone. Men that have undergone a vasectomy do not sound, act, or feel different than any other men. The only difference is that they are able to enjoy sex with their partner without concerns about pregnancy. These men still grow hair on their chest, have a desire for sex, and their same voice.

Many patients are skeptical of “no-pain” or other sounds-too-good-to-be-true claims when it comes to medical procedures. Most people believe that certain medical procedures are going to be painful, and far too many avoid them out of this concern or fear of the unknown.
The Houston Vasectomy Clinic understands these concerns and makes every effort to educate our patients before their vasectomy procedure. We’ll explain how our no-needle anesthesia will numb your skin without sticking a needle into your soft tissue. Our no-scalpel procedure will make only a tiny insertion so that our physician can access your vas deferens tubes.
We understand that you will have questions and our staff is highly trained in this one procedure and will be able to allow you to feel at ease.

Most of our patients experience little or no absence from work from our vasectomy procedure. A small percentage choose to take one or two days off. For jobs that involve lifting, physical exertion, or a great deal of driving, waiting two days to resume your responsibilities is advised.
Men should wait about a week before engaging in contact sports such as football or basketball, heavy weight-lifting, or strenuous labor.
Our patients often ask how long they should wait before having sex. We generally advise waiting three days so as to not put too much strain on the area. We do ask you to remember that your vasectomy will not immediately allow you to have intercourse without the risk of pregnancy – we will have you complete tests until you have two consecutive results that show your semen to be free of sperm.
