vasectomy reversal

The success of vasectomy reversals depend on when the vasectomy was performed. The procedure itself can cause a man to develop other problems such as blockages, immunological infertility and an infertility condition called azoospermia.

symptoms

None.

cause

Some men who've had vasectomies change their minds and want the condition reversed.

treatment

Two treatment options are available to men: vasovasostomy or vasoepididymostomy. Both of these are outpatient surgical procedures that either suture the vas deferens back together or stitch the vas deferens directly onto the epididymis.

It is not uncommon for men to develop antisperm antibodies following a vasectomy. If a man has had a vasectomy for more than ten years, it's possible his body will not produce viable sperm.
