All participants will receive the standard local numbing injections, and the will be mixed with oxygen and given through a mask. The goal is to see if letting men adjust the gas to their comfort level helps them feel calmer and experience less discomfort during the procedure.

Before your vasectomy appointment, you'll answer some questions about your health history. On the day of your procedure, a staff member will show you how to use a remote control to adjust the gas through a mask—you stay awake and alert throughout. After the vasectomy, you'll answer questions about your pain and anxiety levels. Then, two weeks and three months later, you'll receive brief email surveys asking about your experience and satisfaction with the procedure.
