What is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a simple surgical procedure that offers men in Newcastle a permanent contraception method. The procedure involves cutting the tubes that move sperm from the testicles to the end of the penis. After the procedure, the sperm is reabsorbed into your body through your tissue, instead of being integrated into your semen.
Our Vasectomy Services at
MSI in Newcastle
At MSI Vasectomy Newcastle we only use the ‘open-ended, no-scalpel’ technique and offer local anaesthetic options:
Open-Ended Vasectomy
Our open-ended vasectomy technique involves closing only the upper part of the vas deferens, leaving the end connected to the testicle completely open. This allows your body to continue producing sperm, which is then naturally reabsorbed. This method significantly reduces the risk of complications, making it the safest option for our Newcastle patients.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy
A no-scalpel vasectomy only requires a single small puncture in the skin, which means there is no need for any stitches. We utilise a specially designed set of forceps, which further decreases the chance of infection and minimises discomfort.
Anaesthetic Options
For procedures performed at our private day hospital, you have the option of local anaesthetic. We encourage you to review our Local Anaesthetic (LA) FAQs to learn more about this option and determine if it’s the best fit for your needs.

FAQs About Getting a Vasectomy Procedure in Newcastle
What are the potential risks or complications after a vasectomy in Newcastle?
Complications after having a vasectomy are rare, especially when performed using the open-ended, no-scalpel technique. However, Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome is a complication that can occur after the procedure. In most cases, any discomfort will subside over time, but in rare instances, additional surgery may be required.
Can I get a vasectomy reversal in Newcastle?
Though a vasectomy is generally considered an irreversible procedure, it is possible to have a vasectomy reversal in Newcastle. However it is possible to have a vasectomy reversal but it’s not recommended as it is very expensive, not normally covered by health insurance and doesn’t have a 100% success rate.
Does a vasectomy protect me against sexually transmitted infections?
Even though a vasectomy is the safest and most effective form of permanent contraception, it won’t protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You must ensure that you still use other forms of contraception if there is any risk of infection.
When can sexual activity be resumed?
Typically you can resume sexual activity 7 days after having a vasectomy. However, you’ll need to use another form of contraception for the first 3 months, as it can take that long to fully clear any remaining sperm. We recommend continuing alternative birth control until a semen test confirms a zero sperm count.
How effective is a vasectomy?
Vasectomies carried out by our experienced Newcastle team have an incredibly low failure rate of only approximately 0.1%. This makes a vasectomy the most effective form of permanent contraception available.
Is it similar to female tubal ligation?
Tubal ligation is a more complex procedure than a vasectomy and involves going under general anaesthetic and several scalpel incisions. Downtime and recovery period are much longer as a result.
Is post-vasectomy sperm testing bulk billed at MSI Vasectomy Newcastle?
Yes, MSI Vasectomy Newcastle can refer you to a bulk billinging pathology clinic for post-vasectomy sperm tests. This saves you from paying the $70-$80 fee that other clinics often charge. Our Newcastle team is committed to providing affordable, high-quality vasectomy services.
