Are annual post vasectomy checks necessary?
Dec 9th 2009adminPost vasectomy semen analysis
From Amy:-
I apologize if you’ve seen this question before. I did search the website and could not find an answer to it. My husband had a vasectomy in 2006. He was given the “all clear” in early 2007 and since then has visited the doctor for a semen check once a year. The checks are always clear so my question is, does he need to keep going every year to be checked, or can we assume he’s “safe” now? It is important that I do not get pregnant (for health reasons on my end), so we are not opposed to getting him checked once a year. Just want to know if it is unnecessary. Thank you very much for your time and help.
Repeated checks for the presence of sperm years after a vasectomy are not necessary. Vasectomies are very durable especially after several years of repeatedly negative test results.
