What the procedure involves
The no-scalpel, open-ended vasectomy at Direct Access Vasectomy works like this:
Nothing about your sex life changes. Testosterone, sex drive, erections, sensation and ejaculation are completely unaffected. Sperm makes up less than 3% of semen volume.
The 3-month follow-up
Vasectomy does not take effect immediately. You need around 15-20 ejaculations over 3 months to clear residual sperm. At the 3-month mark, Dr Simon requires a semen analysis before unprotected sex is safe. The follow-up test at 4cyte Pathology in Kew is bulk-billed.
Backup contraception is essential until the result is confirmed.
