Can I still get pregnant after having a vasectomy?

Sterilization is generally done for men or women who no longer need to have children. Such people can be sterilized through sterilization surgery. Under normal circumstances, after sterilization surgery, they will not get pregnant again, but this is not absolute. If the sterilization surgery fails or for other reasons, there is still a possibility of pregnancy as you imagined, but the probability is very small, so everyone can rest assured.

Can I still get pregnant after a vasectomy?

1. Whether or not a woman can get pregnant is related to the way she undergoes ligation: simple ligation may allow the lumen to be reopened, but the more commonly used method of ligation is the embedded ligation method, which has a smaller chance of reopening, so generally speaking, pregnancy will not occur.

2. Whether or not you will get pregnant is related to the tightness of the ligation line: Generally, more people undergo ligation surgery after childbirth or after artificial abortion, and during this period, women's fallopian tubes will be congested and edematous, and the tissue is relatively fragile. If silk thread is used for ligation, the fallopian tube will become thinner after the operation as the uterus recovers after delivery, but the tightness of the ligation thread remains unchanged, so the ligation site may loosen naturally, allowing the lumen to reopen. If the ligation is too tight, the silk thread can cut the fallopian tube, forming a fallopian tube-abdominal leak. If the leak is in the fallopian tube segment close to the uterus, the egg can enter the fallopian tube cavity through the leak, so there is a chance for the sperm and egg to meet and conception can occur.

3. Whether or not you will get pregnant is closely related to the location of the fallopian tube ligation: for example, the ligation site is chosen at the isthmus of the fallopian tube. In addition, women have more local tissue contusions, which sometimes may become necrotic and fall off. Later, the two remaining ends of the fallopian tube can connect and become unblocked by themselves.

4. If a woman does not take contraceptive measures within 2 to 3 months after the ligation operation, the live sperm stored in the seminal vesicles before the operation have not been completely discharged, which is also a major reason for pregnancy after ligation.

Generally speaking, the chance of a woman getting pregnant after ligation is very small. Of course, regular checkups are required to check whether the contraceptive ring will fall off.

What are the contraindications after vasectomy?

1. Stay in the hospital for 1-2 hours for observation after the operation. You can go home if there is no abnormality. After returning home, you should also pay attention to rest more and avoid excessive activities.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse within two weeks after surgery.

3. Pay attention to bleeding. If you find bleeding on the gauze within 24 hours after the operation, ask a doctor to check immediately.

4. You should still adhere to contraception for about 2 months after the operation.

5. After a man has had a sterilization operation, he should be careful not to drop the gauze on the incision and not to touch the wound with his hands. Do not shower before the incision heals to prevent infection.

6. The scrotal skin has a strong healing ability. If it is not sutured or is sutured subcutaneously, there is no need to remove the stitches.

In short, male sterilization is a better method of contraception than female sterilization and will not have any impact on women. However, you still need to pay attention to rest after sterilization and avoid having sexual intercourse immediately after the operation.
