Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A vasectomy involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens, which is the tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra. As a result, sperm cannot mix with the other glandular secretions to form semen, and therefore the ejaculate will not contain sperm. However, there may still be some residual sperm in the vas deferens or epididymis that needs to be cleared out through ejaculation, which is why doctors recommend using another form of contraception until a sperm count confirms that the semen is free from sperm.
