Diego Naranjo of Medellin must pay one million pesos for child support after reassuring the patient that he couldn’t conceive due to the successful procedure. However, the man got his wife pregnant, and his sperm was tested to prove that the vasectomy was botched. The couple filed a lawsuit against Naranjo and claimed he caused emotional and financial distress. Additionally, the male patient suffers from bilateral hearing loss, preventing him from working. A judge ruled that Naranjo must provide child support until the baby is 18.
“As a result of this unexpected conclusion, the patient was not recommended to continue using contraceptive methods to avoid the risk of pregnancy. When it was proven that the parents did not want to procreate more children, it was concluded that there was an impact on their life projects that had repercussions in the immaterial field, especially considering the precarious economic situation of the father, who currently cannot work due to their health problems.”

It was revealed that the vasectomy was performed in 2012, and the patient’s baby girl was born later that year. However, it is unknown why the parents waited to file a lawsuit, as reported by Oddity Central.
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is used to prevent pregnancy. It is a very effective form of birth control, but it is not 100% foolproof. There are a few reasons why a vasectomy can fail.
The vas deferens are not completely severed. During a vasectomy, the vas deferens, which are the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis, are cut and tied. If the vas deferens are not completely severed, sperm can still travel through them and fertilize an egg. This is a rare occurrence, but it can happen.
The vas deferens reconnect. Over time, the vas deferens can reconnect. This is also a rare occurrence, but it can happen. If the vas deferens reconnect, sperm can again travel through them and fertilize an egg.
The man does not wait long enough before having sex. It takes several months for the vas deferens to clear out all of the sperm. If a man has sex before the sperm have cleared out, he can still impregnate his partner.
The man does not get a semen analysis after the vasectomy. A semen analysis is a test that is used to check for sperm in the semen. It is important to get a semen analysis after a vasectomy to make sure that the procedure was successful. If the man does not get a semen analysis, he may not know that his vasectomy has failed and he could still impregnate his partner.
