The right to be or not to be a father belongs to each man. Each man decides, on a personal basis, if he wants to have a vasectomy with the intention of never having children. In these cases, it is important that you perform a sperm test after vasectomy to make sure that the medical procedure has been successful. You should perform this test every year to detect if you are still infertile or if the vasectomy has been reversed. Performing this test annually can help you in case a woman claims that you are the father of her child. Products like the SpermCheck fertility test help you perform a test at home, in the presence of that woman, and prove to her that you cannot be the father of the child she is carrying. It is important to make sure that the effects of the vasectomy are still in effect.
Can a vasectomy be reversed?
Although it happens very rarely, some men have reported that their vasectomies have failed, and they have become fertile again. Having an annual fertility test will help you rule out any possibility of being fertile. If a woman tries to cheat on you, using this type of test may scare her somewhat because she realizes she was found out. However, if she goes ahead and goes to trial, she is likely to be 100% sure that you are the father of her child. Keep in mind that you have to get two consecutive equal results. That is, if you get a negative result, you must take another test to see if it is also negative. The same procedure should be followed if you get a positive result.
Can the results be used in a legal proceeding?
If you are absolutely certain that you cannot be a father, and you want to prove it in a legal proceeding, you cannot use the results got from products such as the SpermCheck fertility test. In order for a judge to admit the results as valid, the test has to be performed by a certified laboratory. It is likely that the same judge will order you to go to a laboratory to drop off your semen sample to validate whether you are fertile. If the result is negative, the judge will release you from any liability. If the result is positive, the next step is to wait until a DNA test can be performed to validate that you are the father of the baby.
