How Long Can You Wait to Have a Vasectomy Reversed?

There is no set time limit regarding how long a man can wait after having a vasectomy before undergoing a vasectomy reversal. It is true that the sooner a man has a reversal, the better the chances are of successfully conceiving a child. However, it’s important to note that men continue to produce sperm for their entire lives. By choosing a highly skilled and experienced specialist in vasectomy reversal surgeries, men can improve their chances of success.

Generally, the success rates are most favorable when the vasectomy reversal is performed within five years of the original procedure. In this case, the chances of success are greater than 95 percent. That figure declines by five percent when men wait between five and 10 years to have a reversal.

At the Center for Vasectomy Reversal, Dr. Joshua Green has performed many successful vasectomy reversals on patients , including those who waited 20 years after the initial procedure. Call (941) 961-4581 to arrange a confidential meeting with our vasectomy reversal surgeon in Sarasota.
