Vasectomy reversal success rates depend on the type of procedure and how long since the vasectomy was done. The shorter the time since the vasectomy the greater the chance of success. Most studies show that there is a 75-98% success rate in seeing return of sperm to the semen. The success rate of the female partner becoming pregnant appears to be lower however.

Preparing for a Vasectomy Reversal?

A reversal of vasectomy is the process of reconnecting the seminal tubes in a male so that sperm will once again be ejected upon ejaculation. According to the Mayo Clinic, about 50% of the vasectomy reversals done are successful and are able to achieve a pregnancy in a female. Of the other 50% that fail, in vitro fertilization may still be an option.Pre-Surgery PreparationDoctors will test your sperm count to make sure you have viable sperm that may result in a pregnancy should the reversal take. They may test your partner to make sure that she is fertile. They will take you off any blood thinners, including Tylenol and aspirin. You will be shaved prior to the surgery and will have to have a clean jockstrap to use afterwards. This jockstrap will be worn at all times after the surgery until you are properly healed.SurgeryThere are many different techniques that can be used in vasectomy reversal and you will need to discuss with your doctor which is right for you. You will receive anesthesia. Some of your sperm may be frozen at this time if you have decided to bank sperm in case of a vasectomy reversal failure.After SurgeryThe area will be bandaged and you may feel groggy from the anesthesia. You will need to have an ice pack to use for inflammation reduction and you will be given some pain killers to ease any pain you may experience. You will have to rest and avoid water in the first two days after surgery. There will be a ban on sexual relations for about a month, giving you time to heal properly. Your doctor will let you know upon examination when you can go back to work, exercise, and normal sexual relations.RisksYou will need to be prepared for the risk involved in the procedure. There is a risk of scrotum inflammation from the surgery and infection. There can be bleeding in the scrotum that may cause additional pain or there can be nerve and blood vessel damage. Talk with your surgeon about the risks and benefits of vasectomy reversal and weigh your options carefully. A reversal of vasectomy is still a safer procedure than a woman’s tubal ligation reversal, but is still a medical procedure with risk.


How can you get pregnant after tubs been tied for about 8yr?

If you are not comfortable with adoption or fostering and actually want to try to become pregnant, you might want to try a tubal reversal and talk to a few doctors about what they may recommend. Your age, number of previous children, etc. may have a lot to do with your success of a reversal. Not all reversals are successful and you will then also have to consider having to retie your tubes again or your husband getting a vasectomy if this is the last child you may want to have.
