Medgclay, a Kenyan, is perplexed after his wife, Beryl, became pregnant despite his vasectomy.
The 38-year-old man from Kakamega revealed on social media that he had three children and did not want any more.
He claimed that it had forced him to have a vasectomy, a surgical procedure that permanently prevents a man from having children by cutting or sealing the sperm tubes that carry his spermatozoa.
Medgclay explained that he had the surgery in July 2022 and was told by the surgeon that he would be safe to have unprotected sxx with his wife after two months.
“I felt like we have always left family planning to women and so after we got three children I wanted to take the responsibility and go through the procedure myself,” he stated in a viral video.
It came as a shock to him when he discovered that his wife was pregnant; the doctors however explained that it could be that there were some sperm remaining in the duct.
In the clip, he said:
“We decided to have the procedure as it last and is very efficient.
“In November, my wife’s periods were late, and in December, we realised she was pregnant, this is something we did not plan as she had given birth through CS the same year”
“When I was told that I should wait before vasectomy is effective, my wife used daily pills as contraceptive.
It was such a stressful time for us because my wife had undergone two cesarean sections prior to that.
“We were informed that this happens when there are some sperms left in the ducts or just a failure of the whole procedure”.
“He told me “You will need to continue to use other birth control methods until your semen sample comes back completely sperm-free and you get the okay. This usually takes about two months or 20 ejaculations.”

See reactions below:
@JRoojoh: I blame the Ruto government for this.
@JRoojoh: This is a serious breach of trust. Vasectomies are not 100% effective, and it’s important to be honest with your partner about your reproductive choices.
@LaditAbari: It’s always advisable to use condoms or any birth control until your doctor confirms that your semen doesn’t contain sperm. You won’t be sterile immediately after surgery, sperm will still be present for a few months afterward. You’ll need to ejaculate 20 times or more before
@nebobina: Vasectomy has never been the problem, but the children will always resemble the uncles
@kerubo_hillary: They should have told him Vasectomy doesn’t stop one from having kids
The only difference it brings is that the kids may resemble your neighbor.
@gabrieloguda: Did he conduct public participation before procuring vasectomy services? It’s in the law.
