Time or times After a Vasectomy...?!


Question: Time or times After a Vasectomy....?
Alright..I'm in the Army & currently in Korea right now. I go back to the states in 7 days and have an appointment for my sperm count because I had a Vasectomy on Sept 15th.

My sperm count appointment is on Oct 15th but I won't be able to make it & can't make another appointment that same week due to the fact that I'm gonna be leaving Korea in 7 days anyway.

With all that...I was reading online about sperm tests..and how many times you're suppose to ejaculate & how many weeks you're suppose to wait till you can have unprotected sex with your partner.

The doctor that did my Vasectomy told me to ejaculate at least 20 times to get all the sperm out of my ejaculations(which I did already..I'm setting a record here!) & to come back for the Sperm test(which I can't make).

But on the other hand I looked like online they say to wait for up-to 3 months to have unprotected sex.

So which is it.?.?....20 ejaculations(at least)..or wait 3 months.?.?.?

Not unless it takes 3 months for men to ejaculation 20 times...:P

Can anyone help me out here....there are men who have had a sperm test & never came back for the sperm test, and I'm thinking the Vasectomy went worked FULLY for them since they never came back complaining that the Vasectomy didn't work.

I looked up all the Vasectomy info i can so please don't tell me anything I already know about Post Vasectomy stuff.

I'm looking for everyone's PERSONAL & medical advice(from doctors mostly).

also...where can I get a cheap sperm test from(to buy)..I found a site for it but it seems like they don't really sale it..they just get information about you & that's it.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Some guys obviously dont blow their wad as often as some others... lol to the 3 months scenario mate. Sperm residual in the front end of your pipes have to be flushed. As you know your testicles will continue to make sperm and these, with nowhere to go, get reabsorbed by your body.

My first test after 20 ejaculations was not clear. There were still a few wrigglers left. I was all clear after 40 or so (around 6 weeks). Fact is, it's your body man, and although we are all similar, no doubt we are also all different.Health Question & Answer

The only way to be certain is to get a semen analysis. The "20 ejaculations" is a guideline. Since you have gone through the trouble, pain and risk of vasectomy, you should take no chances with unprotected sex until you have produced three negative samples a month apart.

Anything less is just foolish and risky. Its funny that only a third of men actually do the three tests a month apart. over a third never even have one test.

See this study:This survey of the 141 post-operative vasectomy patients at the Family Practice Center of the Medical College of Ohio resulted in suggestions for modifying postoperative patient care protocol and patient education. The concern centered on the poor response rate for post operative semen analysis, where 29% returned 1 specimen, 26% returned 2 or more samples following surgery, and 45% had not returned any samples. Patient education was repetitions with the 1st verbal instructions preoperative, the 2nd verbal instructions postoperative, and a typewritten instruction sheet postoperative; additional reinforcement was given at the 1 week followup visit. Masturbation, condom, or withdrawal were recommended method of collection. 2 sterile containers were provided and the request made for a 1st collection after 12 ejaculations and a 2nd 2 or more weeks after the first. The requirement was for 2 specimens completely sperm free. The results of the questionnaire analyzed with Pearson chi-square for nominal or ordinal data and the 2 tailed remembered all 3 methods of collection; remembering was not related to whether the specimen was returned. Of those returning specimens, 70% masturbated, 20% used condoms, and 17% withdrew. 99% knew the reason for collection. Convenience was an important factor. 68% found daytime drop off inconvenient and 77% agreed that refrigeration and a next day dropoff was better. 50% were embarrassed to bring the specimen in. 59% felt that a failure in vasectomy with pregnancy was upsetting. Those not returning specimens had wives less concerned about the failure of vasectomy. 69% had mutual agreement about the vasectomy decision. 58% did not return due to inconvenience, 38% embarrassment, 29% confidence in sterility, 17% forgot, 4% afraid of repeat surgery. Recommended protocol is for a 1st aspermic specimen or a fresh specimen that shows only few, nonmotile sperm turned in in a brown bag provided along with a separate handout on semen collection and joint signatures. Motility checks should be made monthly if sperm persist. Ambivalence about future pregnancy means reevaluation of suitability of couple for vasectomy.Health Question & Answer
