What is a vasectomy?
A vasectomy procedure is a permanent method of contraception that is designed for men who have decided not to have any, or any more children. It is a minor surgical procedure that involves separating the cut end of the tubes that move sperm from the testicles to the penis.
After treatment, the ejaculated semen will contain no sperm, as they are reabsorbed into the body through the tissue, instead of being integrated into the semen. This makes a vasectomy the most effective form of permanent contraception.
Our Sydney Vasectomy Services
Considering a vasectomy in Sydney? MSI Vasectomy provides professional and safe vasectomy procedures using the ‘open-ended, no scalpel’ technique, which significantly reduces infection risks. We offer both IV sedation and local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort. Our Sydney vasectomy clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality care with minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
Open-ended Vasectomy
In Sydney, our open-ended vasectomy technique closes only the upper part of the tube, leaving the end connected to the testicle open. This allows sperm to be naturally reabsorbed, reducing the likelihood of complications like congestive epididymitis.
No-scalpel Vasectomy
Our no-scalpel vasectomy in Sydney involves a single small puncture instead of an incision, which means no stitches are required. We use a specially designed set of forceps which decreases the chance of infection and uses our painless needle technique.
Anaesthetic Options
At MSI Sydney we provide a comprehensive service where both IV sedation (IV) and local anaesthetic (LA) are available. Our LA painless anaesthetic delivery technique means many patients report experiencing little to no pain when the local anaesthetic is injected.
Please read the IV Sedation (IV) versus Local Anaesthetic (LA) FAQ to learn more about these optionsV

VASECTOMY SERVICES IN AUSTRALIA
At our Sydney clinic, we offer the MSI No Scalpel Open-Ended Vasectomy*—a refined technique that supports recovery and long-term outcomes. This method combines two well-established approaches: the open-ended technique and the no-scalpel method.
Open-Ended Vasectomy Technique
An open-ended vasectomy involves sealing only the upper part of the vas deferens. The end connected to the testicle remains open, allowing sperm to be naturally reabsorbed by the body. This approach is designed to help reduce the risk of pressure build-up following the procedure.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy Procedure
The no-scalpel method uses a small puncture instead of a traditional surgical incision to access the vas deferens. This is done using specialised instruments and typically does not require stitches. Performed under local anaesthetic, the no-scalpel vasectomy is a widely used option at our Sydney clinic.

Shaving and Preparation
You will need to shave or have someone else help you shave the following areas NO more than 24 hours before your procedure. Ensure careful preparation to avoid irritation or cuts.

Read this guide carefully if you’re having an IV sedation. Allow yourself time to rest for the first few days for a smooth recovery. If you would like to learn more about pain management, returning to work, physical activity and sex after vasectomy suggestions, please visit this page.
Vasectomy Procedure Aftercare
Rest and Recovery
Take it easy for the first 24–48 hours after your procedure. Avoid heavy lifting or intense physical activities for two weeks to support proper healing. If your work involves a lot of sitting, you can go back to work 1-2 days after your vasectomy. No swimming or baths for the first week after your operation.
Supportive Care
Most people will have some bruising and swelling around the testicles. If your swelling continues, you can use cold therapy to treat it.
Monitor for Complications
Mild swelling or discomfort is normal, but contact your clinic if you experience severe pain or fever. Your MSI Sydney vasectomy clinic is here to assist with any concerns. Call 1300 888 022 if you would like to speak to one of our experienced nurses.

Frequently Asked Questions About Getting a Vasectomy in Sydney
If you have any more questions about our Sydney vasectomy services please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime please find below our most frequently asked questions about vasectomies.
Are There Ever Any Complications After Having a Vasectomy?
Complications after having a vasectomy are very rare. However, Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome is a complication that can occur after the procedure. In most cases, the pain will subside automatically, but in rare cases, additional surgery may be required to attempt to resolve the issue.
Do I need a referral for a vasectomy in Sydney?
No, a referral is not required to consult with a vasectomist at our Sydney vasectomy clinic.
How common is having a vasectomy?
Vasectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in Australia, with over 29,000 men getting one each year.
Can a vasectomy be reversed?
Vasectomy reversals are possible but costly and not guaranteed to succeed. They are not typically covered by health insurance.
Will it affect my testosterone levels?
A vasectomy does not impact testosterone production, sex drive, erection ability, or semen ejaculation.
How long after having a vasectomy can I resume sexual activity?
We advise waiting at least 7 days before resuming sexual activity. Use contraception for 8-12 weeks post-procedure until a semen test confirms zero sperm count.
How effective is a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is very effective, with a failure rate of around 0.1%. Our Sydney clinic ensures this reliable form of birth control.
Is a vasectomy similar to female tubal ligation?
Tubal ligation is similar to a vasectomy but is a more complex procedure. A female tubal ligation is carried out under general anaesthetic and includes several scalpel incisions. As a result, the downtime and recovery period is longer.
Does MSI Vasectomy in Sydney offer bulk billing for post-vasectomy sperm tests?
MSI Vasectomy services in Sydney don’t charge additional fees for the post-vasectomy sperm test (follow-up). If you wish to avoid any extra costs for the pathology test, we will refer you to have it done at a bulk-billing clinic. Book your vasectomy with MSI Sydney to take advantage of our affordable and comprehensive care.

What should I expect during my vasectomy consultation in Sydney?
During your consultation, our doctor will explain the procedure, discuss your medical history, and answer any questions you may have to ensure you’re fully informed before proceeding.

Most men return to light activities within a couple of days and can resume normal activities within a week. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for at least a week after the procedure.
Do you offer both local anaesthetic and IV sedation at your Sydney clinics?
Yes, we offer both options to cater to your comfort preferences. Our painless anaesthetic delivery technique helps minimise discomfort during the procedure.

Yes, we will provide you with detailed pre-procedure instructions, which may include guidelines on medications, fasting if undergoing sedation, and hygiene practices.
