Important Information Regarding Reverse Vasectomy

By Laura Collins


Generally, vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure to prevent sperm from getting to the semen ejaculated from the penis. Even after this procedure, semen exists but without sperm. After the procedure, the testes continue making sperm but are soaked in the body. Although many people choose this procedure for birth control, reverse vasectomy is possible. The reversal helps to continue having children or become fertile again.

During blocking, the ducts that are used by sperms to pass are tied or cut into two separate ends. On the contrary, during this procedure, reconnection is done to these tube ends which allows the flow of sperms to the other fluids forming semen. The ducts that are mostly affected by this procedure are vas deferens and epididymis. It is a procedure that requires close observation and aid from devices like special microscopes. When successfully done, the sperms are now able to be ejaculated.

Normally, the procedure is an outpatient procedure. However, a general or spinal anesthesia is usually used to help a person remain calm during the procedure. However, the chances of success will depend on the time that has passed from when vasectomy was performed. At the same time, blockages may form over time and some people develop antibodies to their sperm. However, the surgery becomes more complicated and requires more time if the blockage requires correction.

Other people may end up having antibodies against the sperms produced due to long blockage. If the blockage will need to be corrected, the process complications are increased making it spend more time. In a normal condition, it takes around two hours but time spent is more as you need time to recover from anesthetic feeling. After a short period, normal body functioning is regained. Activities like sex are also done after this recovery period. In cases where patients undergo the process before they exceed ten years of blocking, the chances of success are very high.

Full recovery is regained after some days not exceeding a week not unless in you develop complications. Sex and other body activities will also be regained after this period. However, performing the procedure after ten years of blockage failure chances are more than success.

On the other hand, the side effects that may arise are usually minimal. Such side effects are such as bruising, swelling, and pain. Nevertheless. The reversal or vasectomy itself should not affect your urinary function or potency.

Although there is no limit on the maximum reversals a man can have, the success rate may decrease with increased reversals. This is because the more the surgery is done, there is a greater chance of scarring that makes the subsequent surgeries difficult.

Its success is determined by age, the period spent under vasectomy, the frequency of reversals, bruises, and scarring on the ducts among other factors. Surgeon skills and expertise also determines success. That is why you are advised to conduct research on the best professional.
