VASECTOMY
In Mackay

The speedy recovery of the vasectomy procedure is one of the reasons why it is such an attractive option for most men. You will likely feel a little tender for a few days and will need around three months to allow your semen to clear any remaining sperm. You should not consider the vasectomy a sufficient form of birth control until you have been given the all clear that your semen is free of sperm.

In minimal cases there may be risk of bruising or infection, however, this can be minimised with supportive underpants and sufficient rest. If you are experiencing pain, it is important to avoid aspirin. Anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen is fine to use.

It is also crucial to refrain from heavy lifting or extreme movement in the week after your vasectomy. If you work in an office or desk-based role, you will be able to return to your position the following day after your procedure, however try not to sit for long periods. Bike riding and contact sports should be avoided for roughly 2-3 weeks.

Vasectomy reversals often cost thousands of dollars and are not covered by Medicare. They are also not guaranteed to work. It is for these reasons that you should not undergo the vasectomy procedure if you think you will one day wish to reverse it.

It would be best if you approached this decision with the idea of permanent contraception in mind and be completely comfortable with this before deciding to move forward.

In the following days after your procedure you will be able to masturbate with no discomfort or issues of any kind. Full sexual function can be carefully resumed after roughly a week. You will not experience any change to your erections, sex drive or ejaculation post-procedure, in fact, some men report an increase in stamina post-procedure. There may be a slight difference in the amount of ejaculate, but the peace of mind you receive thanks to zero risk of pregnancy or requirement of contraception is the biggest benefit of the procedure. As mentioned above you must not rely on your vasectomy as a safe form of birth control for roughly three months. This can happen quicker but you will need confirmation from our team that your semen is indeed free of sperm before you can comfortably consider yourself in the clear.

This procedure is exceptionally safe, and creates no increased risks of long term complications.

To answer this question there is some good news and bad news.

The bad news: you won’t be able to use your private health insurance when you have a vasectomy with us.

That’s because we do our vasectomies in medical centres rather than in a private hospital. Private health insurance is only of benefit when you have your procedure performed in a hospital or day surgery by a urologist.

So what’s the good news?

The good news is that it will almost certainly work out more affordable to have your procedure with Vasectomy Australia.

This is because of a few reasons:

1. Private Health usually requires you pay an excess. This excess might be $500 or even up to $1000. A vasectomy with us is only $573 out of pocket.
2. Your urologist will almost certainly have a gap on their fee. This will vary but again could range from a few hundred dollars to over $1000.
3. Nearly all surgeons will want you to be asleep when you have your vasectomy. This means an anaesthetic fee and – you guessed it – a gap fee.

Once you add up these 3 fees you may end up being $2000 or more out of pocket. With insurance!

When you choose Vasectomy Australia you know exactly what your fee will be – $573 out of pocket. No if, ands or maybes. No “it depends on your health fund”. No “you will have to check with the anaesthetist”.

Just one fee so you can know exactly what you will pay and can plan for this. Privately insured or not, you will be getting your procedure with one of Australia’s top vasectomists at an affordable price.
