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

The procedure only stops sperm reaching your semen. It has no effect on testosterone, sex drive, erections, sensation or how you ejaculate. Learn what to expect after vasectomy.

The 3-month follow-up

Vasectomy does not take effect immediately. It takes around 15-20 ejaculations over 3 months to clear residual sperm. At the 3-month mark, Dr Simon requires a semen analysis test to confirm 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.
