"How, exactly?". All men (vasectomised or not) produce sperm that are reabsorbed back into the body. In fact 40%-50% of sperm you produce is reabsorbed. Sperm go from the Testicle to the Epididymus for storage and maturing. It takes about a month to mature them. Whilst in the Epididymus, excess fluid content is re-absorbed through membranes, and solid content is broken down and reabsorbed through the membranes by macrophages (Cell eaters present in all organs and the blood).

If you cut your finger your body reacts to this to protect itself. The same happens if the flow through the vas deferens is obstructed (either by vasectomy or a medical condition). To compensate for the additional sperm, the membranes increase in size to absorb more fluid, and additional Macrophages are recruited from the bloodstream to deal with the solids.

My partner had vasectomy almost 15yrs and i am 28 yrs old it is possible i can get pregnant?

Even if he had a vasectomy, it is possible - if unlikely - for you to get pregnant. A vasectomy is basically surgery where they cut the little tubes the sperm swim through so that they can't get out the end of the penis. Sometimes the cuts heal in such a way that some sperm can still get out; if you have any doubts it might be a good idea for him to go in for a sperm count, so they can see if any sperm are managing to escape.

A man that has had a vasectomy does not release sperm, however, he does ejaculate.


Can sperm be retrieved from a man once he has had a vasectomy and used for artificial insemination?

Yes, a man can. My husband had a vasectomy 7 years before I met him and we now have a four year old and we're trying for another. It just means the doctor uses a needle into the testicles and they take sperm from further up, it is a whole lot cheaper and easier than a reversal. You just go see your local IVF unit or GP. They either have to reverse it, or go in to his testicles with a needle and remove the sperm that way. Note: when considering the cost of each proceedure, remember that if you choose IVF, you pay to have the sperm harvested and for each attempted fertilization.

how good is a vasectomy after 18 years?

A vasectomy procedure severs the vasa deferentia of a man and then ties/seals the cut ends to prevent sperm from entering into the seminal stream (ejaculate).A vasectomy is a permanent operation. It should therefore prevent the man from producing sperm in his ejaculate for life.However, it has been known for the ends of the vasa deferentia to reconnect by themselves. To be sure you could test to see that there are no sperm present in the ejaculate.
