Assessment & Vasectomy in One Visit
If you’re thinking about getting a vasectomy in Tauranga / Pāpāmoa, NZ, The Cooper Clinic aims to provide a comfortable experience.
Our procedures are quick, efficient, and may provide long-lasting results for your contraceptive needs – a simple snip and seal of the tubes carrying sperm.
Vasectomy in Tauranga / Pāpāmoa
Our scalpel-free technique aims to offer a long-lasting birth control solution for men. This procedure aims to safely obstruct or cut the vas deferens (the tubes that transport sperm), with the goal of preventing the sperm from mixing with the seminal fluid.
A vasectomy is typically regarded as an effective permanent contraception method as it is around 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
The Cooper Clinic in Tauranga / Pāpāmoa uses the advanced no-scalpel vasectomy technique (scalpel-free snips), which is less invasive than a conventional vasectomy. This may allow for a quicker recovery and a faster return to normal activity.
With the blocked and scarred portions of the vas deferens, sperm is intended to be prevented from entering the semen, often resulting in a clear sperm count approximately six to eight weeks after the procedure.

The Cooper Clinic Technique in Tauranga / Pāpāmoa
The Cooper Clinic offers a state-of-the-art solution for patients in Tauranga / Pāpāmoa with the advanced non-scalpel vasectomy technique.
We start by numbing the scrotum with a local anaesthetic, then create a small puncture using our electrosurgical device to a reasonable depth to access the vas deferens.
The tubes are cauterized and the incision site is left open.
This technique minimises invasiveness, which may result in faster healing, reduced scar tissue, and fewer post-procedure complications.

Is a Vasectomy The Right Choice?
Consider the decision to have a vasectomy carefully with your partner, as a vasectomy reversal is not always successful. A vasectomy may be appropriate if:
- You and your partner believe your family is complete
- You’re looking for a reliable and permanent birth control method
- Alternative methods such as hormonal contraception or condoms are not suitable for you or your partner
If you need advice on whether a vasectomy is the right choice for you, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for a vasectomy to become effective?
Generally, it takes 8-12 weeks and regular ejaculations can help speed the process up. A follow-up semen analysis is performed after this period to confirm a clear sperm count before relying on the vasectomy for contraception.
Is the vasectomy procedure painful?
The vasectomy procedure itself is not painful due to the use of local anaesthesia. The initial application often hurts less than giving blood. You may experience some mild discomfort or pressure during the procedure. Any post-procedure pain or discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
What is the recovery time for a vasectomy?
Most men can resume light activities within a few days, but it’s recommended to avoid exercise and heavy lifting for 1-2 weeks to allow the scar tissue to heal completely. Your doctor will provide specific post-operative instructions based on your individual case and discuss any potential risks or complications associated with the procedure.
