What happens to the sperms after vasectomy?\n\nAfter vasectomy sperms carry on being produced just as normal. They swim along the epididymis and up the vas to the site of the vasectomy blockage where they survive for some days then die off. The dead sperms are broken up and absorbed by the body’s white cells which enter the vas through the blood supply to this tube.

In a vasectomy, the vas deferens (tubes carrying sperm out of the testes) are cut and tied off therefore preventing the sperm reaching the semen.  The sperm are reabsorbed.  Semen is produced by the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and Cowper's gland all of which are NOT effected by a vasectomy.  There is no change in the amount of ejaculate as sperm counts for only about 1% of the volume.  Orgasm is not effected since sperm play no role in this.  It is the brain...sensory nerves in the penis which, as we know when stimulated will result in orgasm.  Finally secondary sex characteristics are not effected since testosterone (also produced by the testes) is still continued to be produced after a vasectomy.  Of course the use of condoms is still recommended as a vasectomy does not prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

yes vasectomy can be reversed;A vasectomy in males. The vasa deferentia, the tubes which connect the testicles to the prostate, are cut and closed. This prevents sperm produced in the testicles to be in the ejaculated semen fluid (which is mostly produced in the prostate and the seminal vesicles). \nA tubal ligation in females. The Fallopian tubes, which allow the sperm to fertilize the ovum and would carry the fertilized ovum to the uterus, are closed. This is sometimes referred to as getting one's "tubes tied." \nA hysterectomy in females. The uterus is surgically removed, permanently preventing pregnancy and some diseases, such as uterine cancer. \nThe closing of either type of tube can be done in several different ways, some of which are more permanent, reversible or guaranteed to work than others. The tube can be:\n\nclamped off. \ncut off. \ntied off. \nblocked.

Research is currently being done on this subject. Tests so far have actually been very successful. When tested, sperm counts had dropped to zero, with no noticable side effects. When taken off the pill, sperm counts returned to normal within 16 weeks. It won't be FDA approved for at least a few more years.

Yes- a vasectomy can be reversed which is called vasovasostomy. The chances of vasectomy reversal success depend on how much time has passed between the vasectomy and the reversal. Success rates range from 30% to 50%. If you look at this page you can not only find more information but also a doctor in your area that performs this type of procedure.\nhttp://www.vasectomy.com/index.htm\nThe only other option would be needle aspiration and invitro.

Yes you can, but not common. If your partner never went back for his follow-up appointment after his vasectomy, then there is a possiblity he may still be fertile. He needs to have a sperm count done.

No spermatozoon means that a man cannot father a child. this has no effect on his virility nor will it affect his normal erection. Such a man will also be able to ejaculate, but the semen wont have sperms.

If you don't want to reverse the vasectomy then your best option is sperm extraction.  Many people have had success with this in the past.  Your vasectomy is still intact which means you still can't get her pregnant the tranditional way.  Your doctor will check your sperm and if they are good swimmers then it is like artificial insemination, you insert the sperm and they go to work.  Good luck!

Since a Vasectomy is the cutting of the Vas Derferns and prostate cancer is a malignacy of the prostate these to things are not even related as they are two different pieces of anatomy in the scrotum.

Slim to none BUT it does happen....did he get checked and then rechecked after it was done? Read the following:\nE-mail question: My husband’s vasectomy was successful and there has been no evidence of live sperm, but I’m worried that I might become pregnant. We know of four couples who had children after the husband had a vasectomy. Are there any statistics on how effective they are?\n\nDr. Dean: Yes, you can become pregnant by a man who has had a vasectomy. I’ve seen statistics from as rare as 1 in 1,500 to as common as one in 200 to 300 showing cases where vasectomies have reversed themselves.\n\nUnfortunately, the first thing people will do when this happens is to call a lawyer because they think the wife has been unfaithful. That is not necessarily so, as the statistics show.\n\nThis is why it’s so important to return to your doctor after a vasectomy. Many men have a vasectomy, disappear, and never go back to the doctor to get it checked. Ten years later they have an unplanned baby and they blame the doctor.\n\nThis surgery is not 100 percent perfect – nothing is.\n\nThere are other facts about vasectomy at the source sited.\nGood luck.

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vasectomy/HQ01049\n\nVasectomy: The right form of birth control for you?\nVasectomy provides a permanent form of birth control for men. Is it right for you? \nVasectomy is a surgical procedure that permanently makes a man unable to father a child (sterile). It involves severing and sealing the two tubes (vasa deferentia) that carry sperm from your testicles to your seminal fluid (semen). After the procedure, your semen will not contain sperm, so when you ejaculate during sexual intercourse, you'll be unable to get a woman pregnant.\nWorldwide, about 50 million men have had a vasectomy. Each year, approximately 500,000 American men undergo the procedure. More American married couples rely on it for family planning than on any other method except female sterilization (tubal ligation) and birth control pills (oral contraceptives). Because a vasectomy often can't be reversed, you need to carefully consider the pros and cons before choosing it.\nWho is it for?\nMost men who seek vasectomies have been married for at least 10 years. If you're considering a vasectomy, it's essential that you and your partner both want a permanent form of birth control. Vasectomy may be an option if:\n·You and your partner agree that you have all the children you want\n·You and your partner are unable or unwilling to use another birth control method\n·Your partner has a health condition that makes pregnancy unsafe\nYou may want to forgo vasectomy if you're:\n·Unsure about having children in the future\n·In an unstable relationship\n·Motivated primarily by a desire to please your partner\n·Young, with many life changes ahead\n·Single, divorced or separated\n·Counting on having children later by having the vasectomy reversed or freezing your sperm\nIt's not uncommon for men to consider vasectomy in response to a stressful situation such as an illness, financial setback, death in the family or birth of a child. Because the stress may be temporary, however, it's better to seek counseling or psychotherapy to help you cope than to undergo a surgical procedure you may later regret.\nBefore deciding on a vasectomy, you and your partner should consider its long-term implications. Ask yourself how you'd feel if you had a vasectomy and:\n·One of your children died\n·Your financial situation improved so that you could afford another child\n·You and your partner separated or divorced, or your partner died\nHow do you prepare?\nDoctors usually perform vasectomies in an office or family planning clinic. The cost ranges from $150 to $1,200, about one-quarter of the expense of the more complicated tubal ligation surgery used for female sterilization. Most insurance policies cover at least some of the cost.\nAfter choosing a doctor, meet with him or her to discuss the procedure, risks and potential complications. It's best to include your partner in this initial consultation.\nIf you're worried that a vasectomy might somehow make you less of a man, now is the time to bring up such concerns. Your doctor can reassure you that sterility won't affect your virility. Because the testicles continue to produce the same amount of the male sex hormone testosterone after a vasectomy, the procedure should have no effect on your sex drive or your ability to get an erection. A vasectomy will not affect your body composition and other male characteristics. You'll still have the same muscle mass, facial hair and voice. Nor should a vasectomy noticeably reduce the volume of your ejaculate, since semen consists almost entirely of fluids produced by the prostate and other glands.\nTwo weeks before and after your vasectomy, don't take aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and ketoprofen (Orudis) because they can thin your blood and cause bleeding. Instead, use acetaminophen (Tylenol) if you need to relieve pain.\nArrange for a family member or friend to accompany you to the office or clini

this is not dangerous and it means that you have not released your sperm for awhile.  this will change back to normal when you release it regularly.  when i was younger (like when i was a teenager) this happened to me several times and now i wish that this will happen to me again.\n\np.s.\nwhy did some people answer this question just to say things like 'gross'.  if they dont like the question, just go to other questions, right?

A friend of mine went through this about 1 year ago. The main difference is the DEcrease of his quantity, about 10% less than what he ejaculated before the vasectomy.\n\nCheers!

I had it done years back. Went in to the Doc. First of all I got shaved. Then the doc traced the outline of my left ball and found the tube just below the surface. Made a minor incision, then went thru the incision - found the tube and snipped thru it, cut a small section of tube off, then sealed both tube ends. Came out the incision & put 1 stich in to seal it. Job done! Took about 6 mins. Laid down for half an hour & then taken home.\nOnly very minor problem being (as the doc told me) about 3/4 hrs later felt as though I'd been kicked in the balls by a horse! Didn't  last long, up and running about like a spring chicken hours later. A week later went back to the hospital for a check and test. Doc examined his work, removed the stich, declared everything fine & sent me off for a test! This required jacking off into a small glass jar - like peaing for a urine test. Given a number to call the next day.  Called - declared negative, no more sperm will be fired.\n\nDon't know what they do today. However, understand they can now fit a tap & just turn the sperm flow off? When U want children, U nip in & they turn it back on. Sounds more like an auto check and sevice.

Any surgical proceedure, however minor - and vasectomy is indeed minor surgery - will entail a bit of discomfort.  How much discomfort one feels after such a proceedure depends mostly on how well the guy copes with pain in general.  Most of my patients who had the proceedure felt little more than a dull ache for a couple days, whilst a chiropractor I know was uncomfortable for a month.  His reaction is rare and I suspect it stems as much from his distrust of all "allopathic" physicians and proceedures as from actual surgical trauma.  So if you are considering the proceedure - go for it!  Just remember - once done, it CANNOT be undone!
