........................................................................................................................... According to a survey of patients, convenience is the main factor preventing higher PVSA compliance. Providers using at-home testing kits from MaleFromHome have seen an increase in compliance of up to 80%.

With MaleFromHome at-home tests, a specimen sample collected by the patient is preserved for mailing with formalin. Once the sample arrives, it is examined with a high-powered microscope in our CLIA certified lab by a licensed lab technician.

Post-vasectomy semen samples are typically analyzed under 40 high power fields. If any sperm is seen during the analysis, the fax report will be sent to the physician with details.

Once the test is complete, patients are notified that their results are ready to view in our secure patient portal. Additionally, the provider's office receives a fax copy of the report from our lab within one week of the test. If sperm is present, the patient is instructed to contact their provider for follow-up.

There are three ways that a provider can make MaleFromHome Vasectomy Test Kits available to their patients. To find out more click here.

Malefromhome patient Q&a

 

Why should I obtain semen evaluation after vasectomy?

The only way to confirm if a vasectomy was effective is to obtain a semen analysis. It can take several weeks to clear sperm after a vasectomy. A semen analysis after at least 6 weeks can confirm if the sperm has cleared.

 

Who should obtain semen analysis from Male from home?

Anyone that has had a vasectomy. A specimen can be sent by anyone who is interested in knowing if they have sperm in their semen.

 

How soon after my vasectomy should I send in a specimen?

A specimen should be sent after 6-8 weeks, and at least 15 ejaculations, and then another specimen is recommended 4 weeks after that.

 

How can I be sure that my vasectomy procedure was successful?

In order to confirm sterility after your vasectomy procedure, you must perform two semen analysis tests at least 6 weeks after your procedure. Submit each test to the MaleFromHome testing service about 2 weeks apart. When each test is complete and no sperm are seen in your sample, your vasectomy is considered successful. In rare cases, late recanalization of the vas deferens may occur. For this reason, many urologists suggest re-testing one year after vasectomy.

 

How many semen samples should I send in after my vasectomy?

Most urologists recommend a minimum of 2 tests. Many healthcare professionals recommend repeating the test once a year.

 

When/how should I expect to get my test results for my semen analysis?

You will receive notification of your test result within approximately 1 week of the sample arriving at our testing lab. When ordering a testing kit, you can indicate your notification preference: SMS text message or email.
