Vasectomy Procedures Success Rates

Vasectomy procedures such as the one slit vasectomy and the no scalpel (pointy hemostat) vasectomy have a very high success rate with 99.85% efficiency. Men need to practice other forms of birth control for a couple months after the vasectomy to clear the system of sperm that is sitting in the system prior to the vasectomy.  Men can easily check on their sperm count levels with a do it yourself (DIY) home male fertility test kit. While laboratory testing is more accurate, do it yourself home male fertility test kits offer the privacy of your own home to create a specimen.  Collecting semen at the laboratory may be uncomfortable for some men when placed in a room to masturbate into a collection container. Do it yourself home male fertility test kits can allow you to give the specimen at any time of day or night. There are also special condoms that are developed to collect the sperm while having sex with your partner that does not have any oils or chemicals that would destroy the sperm, hence giving a false negative reading.

Vasectomy procedures are very effective, in fact so effective that compared to the long list of birth control methods only a tubal ligation and hormone therapy have efficiency ratings that are comparable.  Less than 1% failure rates or %99.85 success rates with %0.02 or 1 in 2000 cases have been found to have failed. This beats the tubal ligation and hormone therapy statistics. Some studies have shown that %0.40 to %0.07 of men have recanalization  which means that the two ends of the Vas deferens have grown back together allowing the sperm to flow out during ejaculation. This is why checking the sperm count is important. Some do it yourself home male fertility test kits will show the number of sperm in the sample and other more expensive kits also show the sperm motility (the ability of the sperm to swim).

Vasectomy procedures success should not be considered to have occurred during the first few months following the vasectomy. It is not only the time period but the number of orgasms that help clear out the sperm from the ejaculatory system that is considered. Our urologists suggest having 10 to 20 ejaculations to help remove the sperm that is still in your system and then checking your sperm count before having sex without other forms of birth control.
