Vasectomía - Riesgos

Nombres alternativos

Cirugía de esterilización masculina

Riesgos:

Es común que se presente algo de edema y equimosis en el escroto, pero no existe riesgo serio con la vasectomía. Se toma una muestra de semen después de la operación para garantizar que no contenga espermatozoides y que el procedimiento fue realizado de manera correcta.

En muy raras ocasiones, los conductos deferentes pueden crecer y juntarse nuevamente (recanalizar). Si esto sucede, los espermatozoides se pueden mezclar con el semen y es posible que el hombre embarace a su compañera.
