How Effective Are Vasectomy Reversals?

Did you have a vasectomy that you now wish you could undo? If so, you’re not alone. Men take the step of having a vasectomy when they feel certain that they do not want to have children or do not want to have additional children, but life circumstances change. If you have had a vasectomy and now wish to regain your fertility, help is available. A vasectomy reversal can restore your ability to have a child.

The success of a vasectomy reversal depends on a number of different factors. Physically reversing the vasectomy by reconnecting the vas deferens is a straightforward process. However, reconnecting the vas deferens does not guarantee that there will be sperm in the ejaculate after the procedure. Vasectomy reversals are most likely to succeed within five years of the original procedure, but they can and do work for patients who had their vasectomies much earlier. Potential issues that can interfere with the success of a vasectomy reversal include blockages and the presence of anti-sperm antibodies. Some men produce these antibodies after a vasectomy, and they can damage sperm.

Each  vasectomy reversal  is different. Discuss your case with the vasectomy surgeon at the Center for Vasectomy Reversal. Make your appointment by calling (941) 961-4581.
