Can I still get pregnant after having a vasectomy?

In life, many couples will take a long-term and effective contraceptive measure to avoid pregnancy. Sterilization is undoubtedly the best choice. However, whether it is a male or female sterilization operation, the operation will cause certain harm to the body. In addition, some sterilization operations are not done very thoroughly, which can also cause women to become pregnant. So, can you still get pregnant after sterilization?

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.

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.
