A member asked:

If i had a vasectomy three years ago and tested clean what are the chances of getting someone pregnant i have not retested since last test three years ago

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The : The likelihood is very low but not impossible. About 1 in 400-500 vasectomies fail. If there is a concern, i would submit a semen sample for verification.
