A client scheduled for a vasectomy asks the nurse how soon after the procedure he can have sexual intercourse without using an alternative birth control method.
You can safely have unprotected intercourse when your sperm count indicates sterilization.
After a vasectomy, sterilization isnt ensured until the clients sperm count measures zero. This usually requires 6 to 36 ejaculations. Having intercourse immediately after the procedure or as soon as discomfort disappears may lead to pregnancy.
