“We are a big customer of Acculabs and overall they are providing a sterling service. I dont know a better lab for postal samples.”
At Acculabs Diagnostics, we provide accurate and reliable post-vasectomy semen analysis to support clinics and healthcare providers in confirming the success of vasectomy procedures.
Our service ensures timely results that meet clinical and regulatory standards, giving both clinicians and patients confidence in decision-making.
Conducted around 12–16 weeks after the vasectomy procedure, PVSA checks whether sperm are still present in the ejaculate. This crucial step ensures that the vasectomy has been successful and confirms when a patient can safely stop using additional contraception.
The test helps determine:
- Whether sperm are completely absent (azoospermia).
- If only small numbers of non motile sperm remain.
- Whether further testing or follow-up may be required.
- By delivering clear and accurate results, PVSA provides reassurance for patients and certainty for healthcare providers, ensuring the vasectomy has achieved its intended outcome.
