Men fail to follow up after vasectomy, study suggests

Categories: Just For Dads, Pregnancy & Birth

Web MD shares a study published in BJU International consisting of data from 436 men who had vasectomies at The Clevland Clinic. It showed a quarter of men do not follow the reccomended post-op screening to be sure the vasectomy was successful.

You can read the full details of the study, but I have to tell you I was stunned to read this. I was so certain some mutant stealth sperm was going to slip past after my husband's vasectomy, I begged him to have three clear screenings, even though he hated dropping off his sample at the urologist's office. Three years and three clear screenings later, still I sometimes worry that mutant sperm are going to find their way through.

Maybe other people aren't as frightened at the possibility of getting pregnant again after deciding their family is finished? Once we'd decided we were done, it was because I really knew I could not handle anymore kids with any grace. Not that I'm doing it all that gracefully now. [image courtesy of One Electric Sheep]
