Post-Vasectomy Semen Analysis

(PVSA)

  • It is important to perform your sperm test 3 months after your vasectomy to confirm that it has been successful. There are still millions of sperm in the pipes downstream from the site of vasectomy and these can still cause pregnancy. These sperm are gradually cleaned out with each ejaculation after your vasectomy.
  • We recommend at least 20 ejaculations prior to performing your sperm test after 3 months. If you complete your 20 ejaculations earlier you will still need to wait until the 3 month mark before you perform the sperm test, as there is a small risk of the vas deferens rejoining in the first 3 months.
  • You will need to keep using additional means of contraception until you receive your sperm result from us.

How to submit your sample?

The sample and referral paperwork should be submitted to the pathology lab within 1 hour of collection. We recommend pathology labs that offer on-site analysis (see locations below). Alternatively, you can use a pathology lab closer to home, however they rely on couriers to transport the sample and this may lead to delays in analysis and may require you to repeat the sample.

Note: There's usually an out-of-pocket fee of $50 to $100 that you'll need to pay directly to the pathology company for the PVSA. Please note that this fee is separate from the initial vasectomy cost. While some pathology companies offer bulk billing, it's a good idea to contact them in advance to confirm their billing policy.
