Vasectomy in Christchurch
Our clinic offers a no-scalpel vasectomy in Christchurch, providing a modern approach to permanent contraception, with shorter recovery times.
A vasectomy is a minimally invasive procedure for men seeking long-term contraception. By blocking the tubes carrying sperm, this technique prevents sperm from mixing with seminal fluid. A vasectomy does not impact sexual health, pleasure, or performance and is over 99% effective.
The Cooper Clinic in Christchurch uses no-scalpel vasectomies, ensuring a faster recovery and allowing you to return to regular activities promptly. Contact our clinic for more details.

Vasectomy Technique at The Cooper Clinic in Christchurch
Using a modern no-scalpel approach, The Cooper Clinic offers a minimally invasive vasectomy technique. Following a local anaesthetic application, a tiny puncture is made in the scrotum. The tubes carrying sperm are then cut and sealed, ensuring minimal discomfort and a short recovery. This technique avoids traditional scalpel techniques, reducing tissue damage and accelerating the healing process.
The Vasectomy Process
Booking: Book online or over the phone to schedule your appointment at The Cooper Clinic in Christchurch.
Consultation & Procedure: During the pre-operative consultation, we discuss your options, address concerns and perform the vasectomy procedure in one visit.
Sperm Test: Approximately three months post-procedure, a sperm test will confirm the success of the vasectomy.
Final Clearance: Upon receiving a clear sperm test result, you can discontinue alternative contraception.
Considering a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy may be ideal if you and your partner feel your family is complete, or if temporary birth control methods aren’t suitable. While the procedure is highly effective, it’s designed to be permanent, so reversals aren’t always successful. For more personalised guidance, please contact us to discuss if a vasectomy aligns with your long-term goals.
The Procedure for a Vasectomy in Christchurch
1. Before the Procedure
- Avoid taking NSAIDs, such as Ibuprofen, for 24 hours before your vasectomy unless instructed otherwise by your doctor
- Refrain from alcohol consumption the day before the procedure
- Take a warm shower on the morning of your appointment to ensure the area is clean
- Wear snug, supportive underwear rather than loose boxers to provide support after the procedure
- Shave your pubic area and scrotum on the morning of the procedure for hygiene
- Have an ice pack ready in your car or at home for use after the procedure to help reduce swelling
2. During the Procedure
- The procedure starts with applying a local anaesthetic to numb the treatment area
- A small opening is made with a specialised device to access the tubes carrying sperm
- The vas deferens are carefully drawn out through this opening
- Once exposed, the tubes are cut and sealed
- After being cut, the tubes are gently placed back into the scrotum
- The small puncture generally heals quickly and usually doesn’t require stitches
3. After the Procedure
- Apply ice packs intermittently as needed to minimise any swelling
- Over-the-counter pain relief, such as paracetamol, can help with any discomfort
- Depending on your job, you might be able to return to work the following day
- If your job involves heavy lifting, it’s advisable to take a week off and resume only light duties after that
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting and contact sports for several weeks
- All sexual activity should be avoided for one week post-procedure
- Continue using an alternative contraceptive method until your sperm test confirms that the vasectomy was successful
