VASECTOMY
At The Sydney Vasectomy Centre – Enmore

Recovery after the vasectomy procedure is very simple. You may feel a little sore; however this will only last for a few days. It will take around three months for your semen to become clear of sperm, at which point you will no longer require any birth control methods during intercourse. There can be risks of bruising or infection; however these are quite low and can be minimised by resting and wearing underpants that provide ample support. We recommend that you avoid aspirin as well as heavy lifting or extreme movement for a week after the vasectomy. Desk-based roles, however, should be able to be resumed the day after having your vasectomy. It would also be best to avoid sitting for long periods, bike riding, and contact sports for around 2-3 weeks. For those who are no longer wanting to have children, the vasectomy procedure provides peace of mind for both men and women, creating almost zero risk of possible pregnancy.

While vasectomies can be reversed, we strongly recommend you do not undergo this procedure if you think there is a chance you’ll want a reversal. Vasectomies should be thought of as permanent contraception.

Reversals are very expensive, not covered by Medicare, and can not be guaranteed to work.

You will be able to masturbate comfortably a few days after your procedure, and full sexual functions will be able to be resumed after roughly a week. There will be no change to erections, desire, or ejaculation post-procedure.

You may notice a slight difference in the volume of ejaculate, but for most men, their sex life improves post-vasectomy due to zero almost risk of pregnancy or requirement of contraception.

It is vital, however, that you do not rely on your vasectomy as a form of birth control until we have confirmed it is safe to do so, roughly around the three months month mark post-procedure. This time is required to flush the sperm from your semen.

The no-scalpel vasectomy procedure performed at Vasectomy Australia is exceptionally safe, and it has been proven that the procedure creates no increased risks of long term complications such as cancer.

​Unfortunately, at this stage we only offer vasectomy under local anaesthetic at our locations. For sedation or general anaesthetic options, we recommend you obtain a referral to a urologist.

Once you have had your vasectomy and paid for it, we will process your Medicare rebate on your behalf.  You will usually receive your payment into the bank account you have nominated with Medicare within 48 hours.  If you have not received the payment 1 week after your vasectomy please email info@vasectomyaustralia.com.au and we will chase it up.

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.
