- these will remain in you after the procedure bull You are not sterile immediately after the procedure It will take a minimum of

10 weeks for that to occur Until you have been notified that 2 semen samples taken one month apart show 0 (zero) sperm you should continue to use some form of contraception if you do not want to achieve a pregnancy

bull You must bring in at least 2 samples of semen to determine if the procedure was successful The first will be approximately 6 weeks after the procedure and the second will be 1 month after that If any specimen shows any sperm samples will continue to be checked until 2 of them taken one month apart show 0 (zero) sperm If you do not bring in semen samples as described above there is no guarantee that the procedure was successful Dr Pugach looks at each specimen personally so you must call our office the day before you want to bring in your specimen to be sure he will be in the office the next day

bull Even if you are tola that you no longer need to use contraception there can be a spontaneous re-growth of the vas deferens (the tubes that were cut) and they could join together in the future The likelihood of this happening is approximately 1 in 10000 patients

I understand the contents of this page and the counseling provided by Pacific Coast Urology Medical Center Inc I have had sufficient opportunity to ask questions and they have been answered to my satisfaction so that I understand the procedure called a bilateral vasectomy I also understand that the decision to have a vasectomy is entirely voluntary
