The Surprising Truth About Vasectomies: What No One Tells You Before Making the Decision
It isn’t instant birth control
A vasectomy is permanent and effective, but it’s not immediate. Even though the source of your sperm is cut off, there can still be sperm in your system for about three months. To make sure all remaining sperm are clear, your doctor will recommend regular ejaculation, every week or so, for those three months. (You’ll also still need to use additional birth control if you have sex.) After that, you’ll revisit your urologist to deliver a semen sample that’ll be tested for any leftover sperm. If it’s zero, that means the procedure worked and you’re 100% in the clear.
