Best Answer

A vasectomy, if done properly, cuts off and blocks the path the sperm take from the prostate and out the penis. This makes it impossible for the male to impregnate a female.

Answer:

Actually, after a vasectomy the sperm never gets as far as the prostate. But the end result is as described above.

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.


You got pregnant with your tubes being tied can you sue your doctor that did it?

No, because no method of contraception is 100% effective--people do get pregnant after tubals, just as men can occasionally get a woman pregnant after a vasectomy. It is rare, but it happens. Tubals are about 99.5% effective at preventing pregnancy: http://www.contraceptivetechnology.com/table.html
