Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

After a vasectomy it is better to do protected sex for three months.

The reason is sperm which is produced before three months resides in the tract and can cause problems.

Better you should do protected sex during this time. You can wear condom or you can use contraception of female.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
