Man shocked after wife gets pregnant despite his vasectomy

A Kenyan man, Medgclay Salano, was left in shock after his wife got pregnant despite him having undergone a vasectomy.

A vasectomy is a form of male birth control that cuts the supply of sperm to semen. It’s done by cutting and sealing the tubes that carry sperm.

Medgclay Salano, who spoke during a TV interview, said he and his wife decided that he should undergo a vasectomy after plans to prevent a third pregnancy failed.

According to the 36-year-old, after having two children in 2015, they resorted to family planning methods since they were content with the twins they already had.

However, his wife, Beryl Akinyi, 33, got pregnant during the COVID-19 period, forcing them to go back to the drawing board to devise better methods for avoiding future pregnancies.

The couple then settled for vasectomy. Salano received a vasectomy operation at a hospital in Navakholo on July 12, 2022. According to him, the operation was funded by a non-governmental organisation.

Months later, his wife missed her period. The two ignored it and concluded it was simply a case of irregular periods.

But to Selano’s surprise, after a checkup at a hospital in December, Beryl was confirmed pregnant. The couple agreed to keep the baby, who is due in June.

Selano said the doctors explained that his wife may have become pregnant because there were sperms left inside the ducts or the procedure failed. He added that the surgeon, who performed his vasectomy operation, directed him to conduct a sperm count to determine what happened.

Beryl on her part claimed that when her pregnancy was confirmed she was still in denial. She said she and her husband trusted each other and despite the recent mishap, there have never been trust issues in her marriage.

“We trust each other and we are believers so there have never had issues of fearing the other party might be up to something bad,” she said.
