Vasectomy Checklist On the Day

Here is a check list of recommendations and advice for your vasectomy day.

Do not smoke.

Smoking increases the risk of infection and delays healing.

Prepare during your morning shower routine

Please shave or trim the hair around your scrotum on the morning of your vasectomy procedure. Wash thoroughly using soap. This reduces the risk of infection and helps to ensure faster healing.

Wear the right underpants.

Wear clean and supportive briefs, underpants or jockey shorts. Do NOT wear boxer shorts.

Remember to eat.

There is no general anaesthetic required for the No Scalpel Open-ended vasectomy procedure so you do not need to fast beforehand. Eating will reduce the risk of feeling lightheaded or faint during and after your vasectomy.

Don’t forget your medicare card.

Please remember to bring your Medicare card with you on the day of your vasectomy procedure. Your Medicare rebate can be processed on the spot when you pay. If you pay by debit card (savings or cheque) your rebate will go straight into your account. We cannot put your Medicare rebate onto a credit card. If you pay by credit card, Medicare will pay you your rebate by transferring into your nominated bank account, this usually takes one to two weeks.
