How Do Non-motile Sperm End Up In A Post-vas Analysis 6 Months After Surgery?

How do non-motile sperm end up in a post-vas analysis 6 months after surgery? I was diagnosed with RNMS, and I understand that means a successful surgery, but how do they get in there in the first place? And might they be non-motile because the lab had to wait too long before doing the analysis? Thanks for your help.

Hi. Non motile sperm can come in the sample either if the vas has recanalized or through tissues which still secrete the sperm and they are transmitted to the cut end of the Vas. There is a percentage of men who get this finding of non motile sperms even uptill 3 years after the Vasectomy operation. It almost means that you are infertile which goes to say that the surgery has been successful but the Ultimate test is absence of dead or alive spermatozoa. So I adivce that you use some other form of contraception till the test shows absence of any sperms. Take care.
