A vasectomy is a safe, effective, and permanent form of male contraception. The procedure involves separating the cut ends of the vas deferens, preventing sperm from mixing with semen.

At MSI Vasectomy, we offer the no-scalpel technique, ensuring minimal invasiveness, faster recovery, and reduced risks.A vasectomy is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy and does not impact testosterone levels, libido, or sexual performance. A semen analysis three months post-procedure confirms success, as sperm can still be present in the semen for a short time after the procedure.

Understanding the Vasectomy Procedure

A vasectomy is a straightforward surgical procedure that provides permanent contraception for men. The process involves cutting and separating the cut ends of the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the prostate gland ducts, effectively preventing sperm from mixing with semen.

At MSI Vasectomy, we specialise in the no-scalpel open-ended technique, a safer and less invasive method that ensures a shorter recovery period compared to traditional vasectomy techniques.
