A member asked:

Dose any one know that even after a vasectomy can sperm be retrieved if the man decides later on that he wants kids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The body continues to make sperm even after a vasectomy, but reduces over many years and eventually will stop so sperm can be extracted or can have a vasectomy reversal.
