As what I heard a lot of times that many married women got a marriage problem with their husbands when it concerns about this unusual thing like a husband cannot give his wife a child because he gets a vasectomy even before they got married without the knowing of the wife's part in the first place.
My question is, 'Could a man still possibly or has a tendency to find ways to get his wife pregnant although he got his vasectomy? If there's still any possible things in this situation, what are those ways and how is it possible for a wife to get pregnant?
Please do share your opinions and thoughts regarding this subject. Thank you!

From what I have heard, it can usually be reversed. If the concern is that a woman is pregnant even though her husband had the surgery, the only way this could be possible is if the surgery did not work. I have had of that happening. That would mean the doctor did not do a good follow up to make sure the surgery went though properly.

To my knowledge, only if the vasectomy spontaneously heals itself, and the doctors do their best to prevent this, or if a lot of money is spent to reverse the vasectomy with another surgery. It is not unusual for this reversal to fail. I can think of something else, but it might be wrong, so I will not mention it now.

I think vasectomy could be strong grounds to have the marriage annulled if the husband didn't tell his intended that he has undergone such procedure. However, to answer your question, I guess one could no longer get his wife pregnant because there would no longer be sperm to fertilize his wifes egg. Other options such as artificial insemination could be considered too but it would be another mans sperm.

I had a vasectomy years ago, because I didn't want any more children and it wasn't healthy for my wife to keep taking the contraceptive pill.
I was told it could be reversed if I wanted to do it, but the operation may not be successful. There is a very, very slight possibility that a man could father a child (a 1% chance) after a vasectomy, but this is highly unlikely. A couple would need to be very sure that they do not want any more children before the man gets a vasectomy.
And in my opinion, if a man has had a vasectomy before he meets his new partner, he needs to be honest and tell her, because if she wants children and he can't provide them, she may well end up breaking up with him.

You are right derek, a man should be honest to his future wife to be before their marriage if he had a vasectomy so that it won't be very unfair to the woman if he really had it...it must be known to her before they enter to marriage so that way they could still work things out and of course, the final decision would still up to the woman if she truly love the man they she'll have to sacrifice herself for this very personal and emotional matter to face in both their lives as couples.
Thanks for sharing.

YOu could have a reversal done, adopt, go to a sperm bank, or just have your brother.... take over, if you're that kinda couple. Whatever works for you. But I'll be mad if my dude ever got one. It might even be an issue we'd split over.
Blessed Be
