Med student from the UK here, I’ve followed you for a long time on Instagram and really look up to you as an aspiring urologist so overjoyed to see you on TH-cam now too! 🥳
Thanks so much for this video! It answered a lot of questions I had. One that I didn't see addressed was: are vasectomies always successful? i.e., can a woman still get pregnant after a man has a vasectomy?
Great question..not always but rarely unsuccessful..1-2%. It is important to get that follow up semen analysis afterwards so you know you're sterile.. there is a 1 in 1000 chance of spontaneous reconnection and fertility after a success vasectomy.
Great question. The sperm cant go anywhere so it gets reabsorbed by your body. Remember sperm makes ~ 2% of your semen so it's not the semen not sperm that gets reabsorbed.

So when you cut the vas deference where does the sperm go?
