    Why clearance has to be confirmed
    A vasectomy does not immediately clear sperm from semen. Sperm can persist for weeks or months after the procedure, and laboratory testing is needed before relying on the procedure for contraception. Continue using another form of contraception until your physician confirms clearance.

    Why sensitivity matters
    Not all post-vasectomy tests report residual sperm at the same low concentrations. Mate Health evaluates for residual sperm down to 0.01 M/mL, providing quantitative visibility when very low concentrations remain.Under current AUA guidance, mail-in specimens evaluated more than two hours after collection must show azoospermia, meaning no sperm detected, for contraceptive clearance. Your physician should make the final clearance decision.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does the At-Home Post-Vasectomy Analysis evaluate?

    It evaluates whether sperm remain in your semen after a vasectomy. Mate Health reports whether sperm are detected and, when applicable, the residual sperm concentration, with detection sensitivity down to 0.01 M/mL.

    Why can’t I rely on my vasectomy right away?

    A vasectomy does not immediately clear sperm from semen. Sperm can persist for weeks or months after the procedure, and laboratory testing is needed before relying on the procedure for contraception. Continue using another form of contraception until your physician confirms clearance.

    Why does sensitivity matter for post-vasectomy testing?

    Very low concentrations of residual sperm may remain after a vasectomy. Mate Health’s 0.01 M/mL detection sensitivity helps identify and quantify residual sperm at very low concentrations.

    Because Mate Health specimens are evaluated more than two hours after collection, current AUA guidance requires azoospermia, meaning no sperm detected, for contraceptive clearance.

    What result is required for clearance?

    Under current AUA guidance, a mail-in specimen evaluated more than two hours after collection must show azoospermia, meaning no sperm detected, for contraceptive clearance. Your physician should make the final clearance decision. Continue using contraception until your physician tells you it is safe to stop.

    When should I take a post-vasectomy test?

    Follow your physician’s instructions. Your physician will advise when to test based on the time elapsed and number of ejaculations since your procedure. The At-Home Post-Vasectomy Analysis allows you to complete the requested testing from home.

    How long do post-vasectomy results take?

    Results are typically available within 24 hours of laboratory receipt, with MateIQ included to help explain the report and prepare questions for your physician.
