Although historically it has been believed that only women have biological clocks, recent studies have shown that men should consider having children before a certain age as well. The aging process results in decreased fertility and an increased risk of health or genetic issues that can impact your ability to have children.

This video discusses how the decline of male fertility with age is similar to that found in women.  You will learn the factors responsible for male infertility, including weight gain and poor general health. Maintaining a healthy body can slow down the effects of your biological clock to preserve fertility.

MESA, or microscopic epididymal sperm aspiration, is an ideal choice if in vitro fertilization is planned to achieve pregnancy. The MESA procedure is one of many sperm aspiration procedures that collects sperm for later use. Aspiration techniques are used to address both natural infertility and the effects of a vasectomy .

How Is MESA Performed?

The MESA technique is performed in an outpatient setting with the use of either local or general anesthesia. During this procedure, your surgeon directly accesses the epididymis where sperm are stored via a small incision. The epididymis contains small tubules, which are examined microscopically to confirm the presence of quality sperm. Fluid containing the sperm is collected and tested to ensure viable sperm have been procured. If the sperm do not appear healthy or are dead, a different tubule or area of the epididymis can be accessed until a viable sample is collected. This fluid is saved and sperm can be collected for immediate use or frozen for subsequent attempts at artificial insemination to maximize the chance of a successful pregnancy.

What Are the Advantages of MESA?

The MESA procedure does not access the testicle itself, allowing for a smaller risk of complications, less pain and swelling, and faster recovery. You can expect to recover from your procedure and return to work within a single day. MESA is currently the safest, most cost-effective, and reliable aspiration technique available for those who have undergone a vasectomy, harvesting the largest quantity of viable sperm. Although infertility is not permanently reversed, you and your partner may attempt pregnancy at any future date using the sperm stored from a single MESA procedure.

Vasectomy reversal is an option for couples wishing to have children even years after a vasectomy has been performed. The Center For Vasectomy Reversal offers a number of vasectomy reversal options to address infertility. Getting the answers to your questions about these procedures is the first step in determining which is best for your needs.

What is a Vasectomy Reversal?

During a vasectomy procedure, the small vas deferens tubes which transport sperm from the testicles to the penis during ejaculation are cut or clamped. While sperm production is not affected, the sperm cannot escape the body and are resorbed over time. During a vasectomy reversal, your surgeon will reconstruct the tubes with the aid of a microscope and specialized surgical tools.

Which Technique Has the Highest Success Rate?

The most common vasectomy reversal method, called a vasovasectomy procedure , has been found to achieve the highest rate of success. Among procedures performed on men within five years of their vasectomy, surgeons can achieve a 95% chance of returning sperm to your ejaculate.

What Can I Expect from the Procedure?

Although your expectations may vary depending upon the procedure you choose, vasectomy reversal is performed on an outpatient basis. You may opt for either local or general anesthesia during the procedure, which takes two to three hours to complete. Most patients experience very little discomfort and are able to return to normal activity within a day.

Are There Any Risks Involved with Vasectomy Reversal?

Complications of the vasectomy reversal process are extremely rare. The two most common minor complications are bleeding within the scrotum and post-operative infection. Bleeding can be expected to resolve after a few days, and the use of IV or oral antibiotics accompanying your procedure minimizes the risk of infection. Unlikely complications include numbness or pain around the incision site.
