Vasectomy Reversal

Wanting children, even after having made the big decision not to have any, happens to many couples, and many men in general. When you have made the decision not to have additional children and taken the steps to see that you don't, making the decision to reverse those steps is a big one.

We all know life and circumstances can change. With that change, sometimes we want to reverse decisions we thought would be permanent. A vasectomy is such a thing for many men. When you have made the giant decision to look into having a vasectomy reversal, you may have many unanswered questions:

• Is a vasectomy reversal possible?
• Yes. In most cases it is very possible to reverse a vasectomy, even many years after it has been done.
• What is the success rate for reversal?
• The success rate is determined by how much sperm returns to the semen. So far the success rate is between 75 and 95 percent. The pregnancy rate is not quite as high, but is still high enough to suggest that the possibility for success is good.
• How long is the recovery period?
• Usually recovery takes about three weeks. You will have to abstain from having sex, doing any heavy work, and exercising during the recovery time.
• How much does vasectomy reversal cost?
• The expense is more than it is for a vasectomy, usually around $10,000 for the whole procedure, doctor, anesthesia, and medical equipment used. That is much less than other fertility treatments would cost, though. There may be financing available, or even the option of using a payment plan.
• Is there much pain with the procedure?
• There is usually very little, if any, pain during the procedure. You will be under general anesthesia, and you will be quite comfortable.
• Will I have to stay overnight for the procedure?
• No. Usually it is done in a surgical suite as an outpatient. You will go home later the same day.
• What kind of doctor does a vasectomy reversal?
• You will want one who is a certified urologist and a certified micro-surgeon.
• Is it invasive?
• If you have the newest procedure which involves micro-surgery, you will experience non-invasive surgery at its best.
