What the procedure involves
The no-scalpel, open-ended vasectomy at Direct Access Vasectomy works like this:
Local anaesthetic is injected using a fine needle to numb the area
A small 5-8mm opening is made in the scrotum - no scalpel required
The vas deferens is divided on each side through the same opening
The testicular end is left open to reduce congestion
A small tissue layer is placed between the two ends to prevent re-joining
The skin is clipped closed - no stitches
A vasectomy doesn’t change your hormones. Your testosterone levels, sex drive, erections, sensation and ejaculation all stay the same. Learn more about what to expect after vasectomy including recovery and time off work.
The 3-month semen-test follow-up
Vasectomy does not take effect immediately. You need around 15-20 ejaculations over 3 months to clear residual sperm from the tubes. At 3 months, a semen analysis confirms the result before unprotected sex is safe. The follow-up test at 4cyte Pathology in Kew is bulk-billed.
Backup contraception is essential until that result is confirmed.
