The semen of a man contains about 3% sperm coming from the testicles, the rest is from the prostate. In a vasectomy the cords who lead the sperm from the testicles to the prostate are cut and sealed. Twenty ejaculations later the last sperm has left the body en there is no sperm in the semen anymore, thus no risk of pregnancy anymore...

The testicles continue to produce sperm but it Will be absorbed by the body.

What can my husband do to be more fertile if he had a vasectomy 13 years ago and the doctor said there is only a 5 percent chance of us getting pregnant?

If the vasectomy was done properly, there should not even be a 5% chance of getting pregnant, as this procedure is the most effective way of preventing pregnancy short of a hysterectomy or abstinence. The best thing to do is to have your husband see his physician and have a semenalysis performed, where they can determine whether or not he has any sperm in his ejaculate. Often after a vasectomy, the body recognizes sperm as a foreign substance and "attacks" it with antibodies; this is why vasectomy reversals don't work a good deal of the time. ! Dr. B.

What are the chances of getting someone pregnant after a vasectomy?

The percentages are low, but it's not unheard of. If the doctor didn't do his job correctly then it can happen. I've heard about several women who have gotten pregnant after their husband has had a vasectomy. You can go to your doctor and be checked out and they'll know if the vasectomy took or not. Typically the doctor does a sperm count a week after the vasectomy and a month after that to insure that everything is were it should be. And should probably be checked every few years after that.

A vasectomy prevents a male making a female pregnant. It does not prevent a female getting pregnant since she could get pregnant with a male who has not had a vasectomy or by artificial insemination.


Can a man have a vasectomy reversal after it has been done 25 years ago?

Yes, it is possible to reverse a vasectomy. Usually if you're not sure this is what you want permanently, they can surgically insert valves instead of just cutting and tying off or cauterizing the tubes and this makes it quiet easy to reverse a vasectomy. How ever it's a bit more costly to do that. They can also be reversed with micro surgery to reattach the tubes together also a bit spendy. Hope this helps.
