The
question is how
to get pregnant after vasectomy? Is there any hope – let us try to find
out about this. However prior to dealing with that
issue, it may be relevant to see how pregnancy occurs
under normal conditions and in what way vasectomy
affects this natural process. After a successful sexual
intercourse, the spermatozoa
contained within the male
semen interact with the female egg produced through the
follicles, thereby fertilizing the egg, and this is when
a successful pregnancy takes place. However, if the
sperm count falls below the required customary amount or
the semen carries no sperm, pregnancy will not
arise.
Is it possible to get pregnant after vasectomy?
Men who decide that they no longer
intend to have offspring often take the initiative and
go for vasectomy
. It is a
surgical procedure that cuts the vas deferens,
the tubes through which the man’s sperm travels.
After vasectomy, the sperm cannot move out of the male
testes and so the man who has had vasectomy is unable to
make a woman pregnant any more. In other words, it is a
scientific way of castrating a man or turning him
infertile who had earlier been quite fertile. However,
circumstances sometimes make the same couple seek the
help of the stork, making the wife frantically asking
for an answer about how to get pregnant
after vasectomy.
Now, there are several ways to get
pregnant after vasectomies that are discussed below:
1)Vasectomy frequently is not a
hundred percent fool-proof method that cuts off the
supply of sperm in the semen. So, a couple should try
for conception time and again and chances are that they
will succeed after the umpteenth attempt though a
vasectomy has been done on the male. One may also obtain
a semen analysis at a fertility clinic or a hospital to
become doubly assured of the man’s potential fertility
even after the surgery.
2)Reverse
the vasectomy surgically, although the procedure is
fairly expensive and rarely covered by insurance.
Besides, it is not a very successful procedure either
– but theoretically it can be done. But do keep in
mind that it is a far more complex form of surgery as
compared to the process of vasectomy itself that
involves reconnection of the tubes that once carried
the sperm from the testicles into the semen. Vasectomy
reversal, if successfully done, will nevertheless once
again allow the sperm to get into the semen which in
turn can impregnate a woman. However, while going for
vasectomy reversal surgery, one should bear in mind
that vasectomy also allows a person’s immune system to
assail the sperm in the process of which the system
develops anti-bodies against the sperm. Moreover, it
is not recommended for people whose vas deferens
was cauterized
instead of being tied during the earlier surgery.
3) Consider In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm
Injection (ICSI) that involves fertilizing the woman’s
egg outside her body and then have the fertilized egg
transplanted into her uterus. If the husband has had
vasectomy and do not have the required sperm count in
his semen, IVF or ICSI can be the answer because in
this, first the sperm is collected from the male and
then screened to select only 1 single good sperm from
the lot. The couple can of course also opt for donor
sperm from a sperm bank to satisfy the urge of the wife
in getting pregnant.
There are many people who opt for conventional treatment, particularly when there is a medical problem. The conventional approach just proposes assisted reproductive techniques, but the problem is, the success rate is quite low and there are harmful side effects as well. Holistic remedies work much better because in this, first the problem is diagnosed and then a treatment is suggested that can be Chinese medicines , herbs, exercise, diet and lifestyle changes and acupuncture. So when you are asking how to get pregnant after vasectomy, opt for the holistic approach to ensure that there are at least no medical issue and this will also make sure that you will be able to maximize your chances of a pregnancy.
