The Techniques Of Reverse Vasectomy

It is possible that vasectomy is reversed but the surgical procedure involved is complex. For the process, a doctor will block or cut tubes which are called the vas deferens. These are the tubes which carry sperms to the penis from the testis. For that process, a doctor rejoins the tubes to enable sperms to reach the semen that is ejaculated. There are two techniques that can be used for those that want to reverse vasectomy.

The first of the procedures is known as vasovasostomy whereby a doctor will sew the vas deferens, which is done from the testis to the penis. The other procedure is called vasoepididymostomy. For the procedure, there will be attachment of vas deferens to some tiny organ at the back of testicles that holds sperms. The treatment option is more expensive than vasovasostomy. Doctors tend to prefer it in instances when one cannot have vasovasostomy.

The procedures are performed at clinics or hospitals. One will be given some anesthesia so that they do not feel any pain during the procedure. The entire process takes 2 to 4 hours and one can go back home the same day. The recovery takes about two weeks. Vasectomies are able to be reversed a number of times. However, success rate will be reduced with every reversal.

There are a number of reasons for people to reverse the process. There are those that might have changed their mind as regards having a family or they want more kids. Also, there are men who may have lost kids and could consider having more children. Some men also go for reversal after the advice of their doctors. It is done to minimize testicle pain. The pain is normally caused by previous vasectomies.

There are possible side effects of the treatment. There could be some bleeding from the scrotum which leads to swelling. To avoid such situations, orders of a doctor need to be followed before and also after surgery. It will also be possible that one gets infections but these can be treated easily with antibiotics. For certain patients, there is persistent pain. This should be reported to a doctor as soon as possible.

You get to know if the process worked if there are sperms in semen after a number of months. The doctor collects samples and examines them for between 4 to 6 months. This is enough time for the count to stabilize. For a vasovasostomy, it might take 6 to 12 months for sperms to return. It would take longer than a year for the case of vasoepididymostomy.

After sperms have come back, chances of conception might increase. The level of success of the process is dependent on various things. These include type of surgical procedure one had in the past and whether some factors are keeping the other partner from conceiving.

The reversal never really affects sex life of an individual. However, those affected are not supposed to have sex or ejaculate until they get the go ahead from a doctor. In most instances, this will take between 2 to 3 weeks, after which normal sex resumes.
