If someone gets a vasctomy and then say a few years down the road goes to a fertility clinic for a sperm test, can the doctors at the clinic tell the reason for the low sperm count is because that person had a previous vasectomy? Thanks.

you're gonna have a NO sperm count if you get snipped, not a low one.
That's true in 99% of cases, and not true immediately after the procedure. I know of a number of guys who conceived children either shortly after the procedure (due to residual sperm in the vas deferens beyond the snip point) or years later after the vas deferens grew back. It's more reliable than pretty much any other form of contraception short of a hysterectomy with fewer complications.

Yeah, right.
The sperm count will be zero unless your body somehow reconnect the two sides.
Freeze some swimmers before you get snipped.
You, your future wife, and the doctor at the fertility clinic will be able to feel the vasectomy scar in your scrotum. It's not obvious, and you have to know what to feel for, but it's there.
If you're planning on getting a vasectomy and then lying about it to future partners and just claim "low sperm count", you'll be outed.
Can't you just find someone who shares your desire to not have kids? Then, after you have committed long term to this person and your wishes are still the same, make the decision to have that vasectomy at that time. Don't do it now because at the moment you have no desire to have kids.
If you are young now, you could change your mind. if you meet the right person, it is entirely within the realm of possibility that your desires regarding fatherhood could change from what they are now.
There would be no scar if he does a no scalpel procedure. However, a physician could probably notice the severed vas upon examination.

He might not know them, but he is correct. Read some literature on the topic. It happens more than you would think. And yes, they are their children.. Proven by DNA testing.
