What is a vasectomy?
How is a Vasectomy Performed in our Melbourne Vasectomy Clinic?
If you are considering getting a vasectomy in Melbourne, MSI Vasectomy offers a safe and effective procedure using the ‘open-ended, no-scalpel’ technique. This method reduces the risk of infection and ensures a smoother recovery. We provide both IV sedation and local anaesthetic to cater to your comfort preferences.
Open-Ended Vasectomy
At MSI Melbourne, we perform open-ended vasectomies, allowing sperm to be naturally reabsorbed, which lowers the risk of congestive epididymitis and other complications.
This technique involves only closing the upper part of the tube, leaving the end connected to the testicle completely open, which enables the sperm to still be released within the scrotum, but the volume is very small.
No Scalpel Vasectomy
We only use the no-scalpel vasectomy technique at MSI Vasectomy Melbourne. It is virtually painless as it only requires a single small puncture in the skin and no stitches. This minimally invasive method ensures a quicker recovery and less discomfort.
Anaesthetic Options
We offer both IV sedation and local anaesthetic at our Melbourne vasectomy clinic. Our virtually painless anaesthetic delivery technique ensures minimal discomfort during the procedure. Discuss with our vasectomy doctors to choose the best option for you. Please read the IV Sedation (IV) versus Local Anaesthetic (LA) to learn more about your anaesthetic options.

FAQs About Getting a Vasectomy in Melbourne
If you have any more questions about our Melbourne vasectomy services please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime please find below our most frequently asked questions about vasectomies.
Who is suitable for a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is suitable for men who have decided not to have any or more children. If future children are desired, it may not be the best option.
Do I need a referral for a vasectomy in Melbourne?
No referral is needed to consult with a vasectomist at our Melbourne vasectomy clinic.
Are vasectomies reversible?
A vasectomy should be considered an irreversible procedure. A vasectomy reversal is possible with an operation to reconnect the vas deferens (sperm-carrying tubes). However, we highly advise against a reversal as they are expensive, not normally covered by health insurance and don’t have a 100% success rate.
How long after having a vasectomy can I have sex?
Avoid sexual activity for at least 7 days. Use other contraception methods for 2-3 months post-procedure until a semen analysis confirms no sperm.
Is a vasectomy similar to female tubal ligation?
Tubal ligation differs as it is more complex, requires general anaesthetic, and involves multiple incisions, leading to longer recovery times.
What are the potential complications after a vasectomy?
Complications are rare but may include minor infections or Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. Your vasectomy doctor in Melbourne will discuss all of the possible risks and complications with you before you have the procedure.
How quickly can I go back to work after a vasectomy?
If you predominantly work behind a desk or counter you should be able to return to work the day after your procedure. However, if your role involves serious physical exertion, you may want to be put on light duties for your first week back, or take the week off work (we can provide medical certificates upon request).
Does having a vasectomy affect erections?
No, a vasectomy will not affect your sex drive as it doesn’t affect the production of testosterone. It also doesn’t affect your ability to get an erection or ejaculate semen.
Does a vasectomy protect me against sexually transmitted infections?
Even though a vasectomy is the safest and most effective form of permanent contraception, it won’t protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You must ensure that you still use other forms of contraception if there is any risk of infection.
Can I get my post-vasectomy sperm test bulk billed at MSI Vasectomy in Melbourne?
Absolutely! At MSI Vasectomy Melbourne, we don’t charge additional fees for post-vasectomy sperm tests. Many providers charge $70-$80, but with us, you have the option to be referred to have it done at a bulk-billing pathology clinic. This is just one of the ways we ensure your experience is hassle-free and affordable.
What are the benefits of the open-ended vasectomy technique used in Melbourne?
The open-ended technique used at our Melbourne clinics reduces the risk of complications by allowing sperm to be naturally reabsorbed by the body, promoting a smoother recovery.
Do you offer vasectomy consultations in Melbourne before the procedure?
Yes, we provide comprehensive consultations at our Melbourne clinics to discuss the procedure, answer your questions, and ensure you’re fully informed.
Is private health insurance accepted at your Melbourne vasectomy clinics?
Yes, we accept private health insurance, which may reduce your out-of-pocket costs for the vasectomy procedure in Melbourne. Please check with your insurer for coverage details.
What makes the no-scalpel vasectomy technique preferred in Melbourne?
The no-scalpel technique involves a small puncture instead of an incision, resulting in less discomfort, reduced infection risk, and quicker healing times for our Melbourne patients.
Are your Melbourne vasectomy clinics accessible by public transport?
Yes, our clinics are conveniently located throughout Melbourne and are easily accessible by public transport and offer parking facilities.
Do you provide post-vasectomy support and follow-up in Melbourne?
Absolutely, we offer aftercare support and follow-up appointments at our Melbourne clinics to ensure a smooth recovery process. For medical concerns call our Aftercare line on 1300 888 022, 8am-6pm on weekdays.
How long has MSI been providing vasectomy services?
MSI has been offering vasectomy services for over 20 years, earning the trust of thousands of satisfied patients.
What should I bring to my vasectomy appointment in Melbourne?
Please bring your Medicare card, private health insurance card, any relevant medical records, and a valid ID. We’ll provide detailed instructions when you book your appointment.
