A doctor’s post of him performing his own vasectomy has become a social media hit.

Plastic surgeon Dr Chen Wei-Nong says he decided to undergo the procedure as a “gift to his wife”.

“Oh, I am very nervous,” he says on his Instagram video shortly after outlining to viewers the 11 steps involved.

Stressing the risks of taking a similar DIY approach, he added: “Please consult a qualified urologist to be safe.”
