Call Us to Book Post-Vasectomy Semen TestingBecause you are not sterile right after your vasectomy, temporary birth control is needed until a follow-up semen analysis confirms that no sperm are present. You will be given instructions on how to get your sperm tested. Confirm Vasectomy EffectivenessAfter a minimum of three months and 20 or more ejaculations you must get your semen tested. The chance of a sperm passing through the blockage in the sperm tubes is extremely small, especially once the sperm tubes are cut, cauterized and then separated by the fascial sheath barrier, but failure is possible. The incidence of failure varies with the skill and experience of the surgeon and with the approach used to block the tubes. It is for this reason that testing semen samples is essential. We are pleased to report that the vasectomy technique we use, over many thousands of surgeries, has demonstrated an outstanding success rate with a very low complication rate. At Gentle Procedures Clinics the incidence of failure is 1 in 1000 vasectomy surgeries performed.
