Vasectomy in Melbourne
Deciding on permanent contraception is a personal choice, and for many men and couples, it comes at a point when their family feels complete or they’re confident they don’t want children in the future.
At Elite Medical Toorak, we provide vasectomy consultations and procedures in a private, relaxed setting.
Your appointment gives you time to ask questions, talk through what’s important to you and your partner, and decide whether a vasectomy suits your plans for the future.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy
Elite Medical Toorak provides no-scalpel vasectomies, a technique that uses a small puncture rather than a traditional surgical incision to access the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and generally takes around 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll be awake throughout and able to return home afterwards.
The Vasectomy Procedure
What to Expect During a Vasectomy
Before booking the procedure, you’ll have an initial consultation with our doctor. This is a chance to talk comfortably about your decision, ask any questions you or your partner have, and understand what to expect.
On the day:
The vasectomy is performed under local anaesthetic.
The procedure usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.
You’ll be able to return home afterwards.
You’ll receive clear advice about recovery, including returning to work, exercise and sexual activity.
A semen analysis is arranged approximately 12 weeks later to check whether sperm are still present. You’ll need to continue using contraception until your results confirm the vasectomy has been successful.
