Reversing a vasectomy was once thought to be an impossible task as it is often billed as a permanent form of Birth Control. It is possible to reverse this procedure and there are often high success rates to the vasectomy reversal. Results may vary and because of this it may be necessary to add different forms of treatment in order to have a successful reversal. It is possible to redo the reversal or add other types of fertility treatments in order to conceive if this is the case.

In order to obtain a vasectomy reversal, a specialist needs to be consulted. This specialist may either come from a doctor referral or by the Doctor Who performed the vasectomy. One who specializes in microsurgery is an ideal candidate for a surgeon. The surgeon will then discuss the associated risks and aftercare procedures necessary for vasectomy reversal. In some cases it may be necessary for both partners to undergo fertility therapy in order to conceive after the reversal has been performed. A vasectomy reversal may be performed years after the original surgery has been performed and there are high success rates for this.

Once the decision has been made to obtain a vasectomy reversal, the cost must be taken care of. This may or may not be covered by insurance, depending upon the type purchased. A reversal may cost between $5,000 to $10,000 for a normal vasectomy reversal, and those who do not have it covered by insurance may be required to prepay this amount.

After the surgery, all aftercare instructions should be followed, and check up appointments should be kept in order to ensure a healthy recovery after a vasectomy reversal. Periodically tests will be done to check the sperm count of men after a reversal. Once these levels have returned to a normal level it is possible to conceive again. If the vasectomy reversal is not successful it is possible to have it done again in another attempt to reverse it.

Can a man have a vasectomy reversal after it has been done 25 years ago?

Yes, it is possible to reverse a vasectomy. Usually if you're not sure this is what you want permanently, they can surgically insert valves instead of just cutting and tying off or cauterizing the tubes and this makes it quiet easy to reverse a vasectomy. How ever it's a bit more costly to do that. They can also be reversed with micro surgery to reattach the tubes together also a bit spendy. Hope this helps.

What is the possibility of a man getting a woman pregnant after a vasectomy?

Depending on how long after the vasectomy you have intercourse, after he had he vasectomy they usually test his sperm on a regular basis until there are no sperm present. If he had his vasectomy months to years ago then no you cannot get pregnant. It is possible it has come undone or is leaking. Regular Dr checkups are a way to prevent that. Old vasectomys were a clip. The clip may not be pinching anymore. Sperm can last up to 20 ejaculations...or 3mths after vasectomy. Be careful. Yes, but the chances are very slim. Vasectomies are the most reliable method of family planning with a failure rate of less than 1 per thousand. The most common reasons for failure are a) that the man didn't wait long enough after the operation (usually 2-3 weeks or 20 ejaculations) before having sex, and b) that the vas deferens spontaneously reconnected. The chances of a failure after properly clearing and being tested at 3 months are put at about 1 in 4000, or 0.025%.
