Understanding the Benefits of Vasectomy Reversal

Most people think of a vasectomy—known as a form of permanent birth control—to be a final and irreversible procedure. The truth, however, is that vasectomies can in fact be reversed. As many as 5 percent of all men who undergo a vasectomy later decide to undergo a reversal procedure. Here are some of the most common reasons why an individual might decide to have a vasectomy reversal .

A new relationship. Many men change their minds about having children after the end of a relationship or the death of a spouse. Other couples may decide that they want more children later in life after initially deciding against it. If you have started a new chapter in your life and have reconsidered the role of fatherhood, then you may be interested in undergoing a vasectomy reversal.

Improved finances. Some people decide not to have children because they do not feel that they can afford to support them. If your financial condition has drastically changed since your vasectomy, you may be having second thoughts about the idea of starting a family. A vasectomy reversal allows you to pursue your desire to have children with your partner.

Post-vasectomy pain. In some cases, men who have undergone vasectomies experience chronic pain or discomfort for months or even years following the procedure. While Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome (or PVPS) is a rare occurrence, it can seriously affect a person’s life. Vasectomy reversal may be recommended for people who are suffering from PVPS.
