After this one child is it okay to get the vasectomy redone?

It's 3 days after the procedure. The wound is fine. Should I be concerned this might have affected the outcome of the vasectomy? I will refrain from further masturbation until the week is up. Thanks for your help.

My partner had a so-called vasectomy and his scar is located on the right side of his abdomen, almost as high as his hip. No procedures were conducted in his left side. I have not found such a procedure where a vasectomy is performed in the higher vas deferens area, and only on one side. Can you explain what has happened to my partner? Why did the doctor cut or tie his vas deferens so high up, and why only one side? Is he still ejaculating sperm or is he sterile? We don’t understand.

I had a vasectomy 6 months ago and have done 4 post sperm samples (following time lapse between samples and # of ejaculations). After the last, the doctor himself called to say there were still active sperm. He recommended another precedure with a larger incision, and this time under general anesthesia. It’s a well known hospital and experienced urologist. I already know this is fairly uncommon, but should I be concerned? If he didn’t cut the right thing, what did he cut?

Do I need to continue using contraceptives or protection?

It's been 4 weeks & 23 ejaculations since my procedure. I tested today at my doctor and it came back negative for sperm. They said to come back in 2 weeks for the second test to confirm. But from a lot of reading I've done, a negative is a negative and we should be good to go for stopping contraception (or just straight abstinence in our case—not taking any chances).

I had a vasectomy 3 months ago. Had a huge hematoma, one operation, then another due to suspect infection.3 months on, my right side is still a lot bigge. The tubes to my testicle are very hard. I have chronic pain, of which my doctors just want me to live on pain killers for the rest of my life. How long would this be likely to go on for? I feel no change down there and the drugs just make life unbearable.

I never got a sperm count because we were never able to penetrate nor was I able to orgasm and ejaculate. I’ve read that a sperm’s life span is about 74 days inside the body, so it’s been about 5 life cycles. Can my wife still get pregnant even if my tubes did not reconnect?

Also, at times it still feels like I've been hit there. This lasts for a short period of time then goes away.

At the time of the surgery the doctor did a sperm check and told me he had a low sperm count so he prescribed medicine. But a week after the surgery his testicles swelled up very large. He was given medicine but now a year later he did a sperm check and they said he isn’t producing any sperm. Could the swelling after the surgery have caused this issue?

Short term memory does not stick to my brain but the old memory is okay. I have been to many neurologists and no one ever mentioned vasectomy but I am convinced that this is my problem, considering also my overwhelming intolerance in general. I want to reverse my vasectomy to try to reverse this situation.

I'll be 59 in July. I'm single. I'm not involved with a woman and I'm not sexuality active. I know at my age that I could still father a child. Should I have a Vasectomy? Thank you.
