Have you had a vasectomy procedure with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (previously Solent NHS Trust)?
As part of the full vasectomy offer, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will continue to support patients who have received a vasectomy procedure through Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (previously Solent NHS Trust), including procedures that have taken place in a GP location, before 01 April 2024. This means that we will continue to provide post operative care and semen testing.
On the day of your procedure, the surgeon will have given you a semen testing pot along with instructions on how to complete the test and where to send it. Please continue to follow these instructions, returning your semen sample 16 weeks after your procedure took place.
Once the results have been received, we will be in touch to advise you of your results and will also offer you any advice and guidance where required.
For urgent or severe problems: Call your GP, 111 or go to your local Emergency department.
If you require non urgent post operative care or have an enquiry regarding your semen sampling results, please contact us via email at vasectomyreferrals@solent.nhs.uk

What is a Vasectomy?
A Vasectomy is a form of male sterilisation where the tubes are cut or blocked.
By law you do not need your partner’s permission to have a vasectomy, but some doctors prefer both partners to agree after they have received information and counselling.
Can women be sterilised?
Women seeking information on sterilisation should speak to their GP.
For more information about male and female sterilisation visit the NHS website.
