Do you know anyone who has recently had a vasectomy? Following the procedure they were probably asked to come back in to “make sure” that the surgery had worked. Nothing that they look forward to, I am sure!!!!
Well, there is a new product that was recently approved by the FDA the will make the follow up appointments a thing of the past! SpermCheck Vasectomy is an at-home test that allows men to check their fertility status by assessing the number of sperm that are “alive and well!” 
Researchers from ContraVac felt this was a needed product since in a given year, there are about 500,000 vasectomies performed. Men are then asked to return for 2 follow up visits. 35% of men never return for their first follow up visit, and 70% fail to return for their second follow up appointment.
It is amazing how many at home tests are becoming available to folks. I know that it is nice to be able to have some control over our own medical status….even if it is information that we use in conjunction with our doctors!
