Is artificial insemination possible after a vasectomy?

From Laurie:- I have heard that there is a procedure that can be done if a man has had a vasectomy where sperm is taken from the man (using a needle) and injected into the egg through invitro-fertilization. I can’t seem to find any information on the possibility of extracting the sperm from the man [...]

Bruising still after 6 days. How long will it last?

From Cory:- Six days ago I had a double hernia repaired and a vasectomy done at the same time. I know that there will be swelling and bruising but the testicles are a dark red and almost purple. Is this common and if so how long can it last? Bruising after any surgical procedure can [...]

35 ejaculations and still sperm!

From Pat:- I had a no-scalpel vasectomy at the beginning of June. From what I have read it takes about 24 ejaculations to clear any remaining sperm from your system. In the 5 weeks since my vasectomy I have had 35 ejaculations. I was absolutely sure there would be no chance I have anything left [...]

Low sperm motility after vasectomy reversal

From Elaine:- My partner has had a vasectomy reverals 16 weeks ago. The original vasectomy was 15 years ago. He had his first test done after 9 weeks, results 35 mil, norm morphology, norm PH but only 2% motility. Could his motility increase, and what could help this. He is having another test at 19 [...]

Vasectomy failure?

From Carole:- My husband had a vasectomy in late December 06. The Dr. said he should be tested at 8 weeks but he didn’t get in with the sample until 12 weeks or so. We were told the sample didn’t need to be fresh and so it was likely more than 8 hours old before [...]

Rare non-motile sperm question

From Sam:- Can I get pregnant after a reversal if my husband has rare non-motile sperm? The semen is composed of fluid from the seminal vesicles, prostate and sperm. Sperm comprise the smallest fraction of fluid (5%). The fluids are continuously produced regardless of whether or not a man ejaculates. Prolonged periods of anejaculation can [...]

Pain during intercourse

From Fawn:- Thank you for taking my email. My husband had a vasectomy 7 years ago. Sometimes during ejaculation he has pain and stinging. He has had this ever since the procedure and it seems to be getting worse. This doesn’t happen all the time. It seems to happen more often in certain positions during [...]

Hematoma after vasectomy

From Ron:- I had a vasectomy 2 weeks ago today, 07/06/2007. Since about mid-week the first week, I have had a hematoma in the left side of my scrotum. The left side was especially hard for the doctor to do. He had quite a bit of trouble getting a hold of the vas. So to [...]

Can I insure against my vasectomy failing?

From Jon:- Can I obtain insurance against a vasectomy failure. If so how much and from where. Apparently it cost’s at least $150,000 to raise a child, so about $300,000 should do. I am going to have the procedure and would really consider this coverage. I can not find any information about this on the [...]

Testicular torsion question

From Laura:- My husband, 31, was diagnosed with testicular torsion two weeks ago and underwent surgery to repair and fix the testicle. He was in pain for 4 days prior to the right diagnosis, but incredibly, they were able to salvage it. Is it okay to resume sexual activity after two weeks, as the steady [...]
