What is a vasectomy?
A vasectomy is one of the most effective forms of permanent contraception. It is a minor surgical procedure that involves separating the cut end of the tubes that move sperm from the testicles to the penis. It is a permanent method of birth control designed for Perth men who have decided not to have any or don’t wish to have any more children.
A vasectomy should be considered a permanent form of contraception and is suitable for men who have decided not to have any or don’t wish to have any more children.
At MSI Vasectomy Perth, we only use the ‘open-ended, no scalpel’ vasectomy technique, which decreases the chance of infection and uses our *painless needle technique.
Open-Ended Vasectomy
At MSI Vasectomy Perth, we only perform open-ended vasectomies. This technique only closes the upper part of the tube, leaving the end connected to the testicle completely open. This method allows for natural sperm reabsorption, significantly reducing the risk of congestive epididymitis and other complications common in traditional vasectomies.
No-Scalpel Vasectomy
Our no-scalpel vasectomy technique requires just a single small puncture in the scrotum. Using specially designed forceps and our *painless needle technique, we access both spermatic cords, dividing and separating them with fascial interposition. This approach minimizes infection risk and promotes faster healing.
Anaesthetic Options
At MSI Perth, we offer local anaesthetic (LA) using our *painless needle technique. Many of our Perth patients report experiencing minimal to no pain during administration, ensuring a comfortable procedure.
A vasectomy at a private day hospital in Perth includes:
Vasectomy in a Perth private day hospital
- Minimal or No gap with private health insurance*
- From $730 (LA) out of pocket with Medicare but no private health insurance**
*Maximum of $100 Gap at all locations except Adelaide ($300).
**Please refer to individual pricing on the booking page.
Anaesthesia Option: Local Anaesthetic
At our Midland location, MSI Australia provides local anaesthetic for vasectomy procedures, ensuring a comfortable experience.
Medications to Stop Before Surgery
To minimise bleeding risks, avoid aspirin, fish oil, and NSAIDs for several days before your procedure. If you take blood thinners, we strongly recommend stopping this for up to 7 days before your procedure and for 7 days after your procedure, but you must talk to your GP or specialist about how to do this. Please let us know during your pre-admission call so we can advise on the safest approach.
Shaving and Hygiene Preparation
Shave the scrotum no more than 24 hours before your procedure at MSI Day Hospital Perth. Use a clean razor and take care to avoid irritation or cuts, which could increase infection risks
Aftercare and Recovery
Take it easy for a few days post-surgery. Arrange transport home if needed. Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities and follow aftercare recommendations for a smooth recovery.

Post-Vasectomy Care Instructions
Rest and Recovery
Plan to rest for at least 24–48 hours after your vasectomy. Refrain from heavy lifting or high-impact activities for at least a week to promote healing.
Managing Swelling
Mild swelling or bruising is normal. Wear supportive briefs rather than boxers, and apply a cold pack wrapped in a cloth to the area for relief during the first few days.
When to Seek Help
Monitor your recovery and be alert for any unusual symptoms such as severe pain, persistent swelling, or fever. If you have any concerns, contact our aftercare team at 1300 888 022.

Do I need a referral for a vasectomy in Perth?
No, there is no medical referral required in order to consult with a vasectomy doctor in Perth or any other part of Australia.
Are there any risks or complications after a vasectomy in Perth?
While vasectomies in Perth are considered safe and minor procedures, there are rare instances of complications. These may include minor infections or Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. Our Perth vasectomists will thoroughly discuss all potential risks during your consultation, ensuring you’re fully informed before your procedure.
Can a vasectomy be reversed in Perth?
While vasectomy reversal is possible in Perth, it’s important to consider a vasectomy as a permanent form of contraception. Reversal procedures in Perth are costly, not typically covered by health insurance, and don’t guarantee a 100% chance of success.
At what age can you get a vasectomy in Perth?
Legally, anyone over the age of 18 can get a vasectomy in Perth. However, there are other considerations to take into account around emotional maturity and preparedness. You should consider all of the implications of having a vasectomy before you decide to have the procedure.
When can sexual activity be resumed after a vasectomy?
You should avoid any form of sexual activity for at least 7 days after having a vasectomy. You should also use another method of contraception for the first 3 months after having the procedure as it can take this long to clear the remaining sperm. Once a semen test shows a zero sperm count you’re safe to stop using contraception.
Will having a vasectomy affect my testosterone levels?
No, having a vasectomy doesn’t affect your level of testosterone as it doesn’t interfere with the body’s natural production of the hormone. Having a vasectomy will not affect your sex drive, or your ability to get an erection or ejaculate semen.
Can I get my post-vasectomy sperm test bulk billed at MSI Vasectomy Perth?
Yes, MSI Vasectomy Perth can refer you to a bulk billinging pathology clinic for post-vasectomy sperm tests. While many clinics charge $70-$80 for this test, we provide it at no additional cost, making your follow-up care as affordable as possible.
