What is a vasectomy reversal and does it work?
A. A vasectomy reversal is an operation to rejoin each of the tubes that carry sperm from your testicles to your penis, which were cut during your vasectomy. Vasectomy reversal operations are more successful if they are done fairly soon after the original vasectomy. About 8 out of 10 men father children when their vasectomy is reversed within three years. If 15 years or more have passed since the vasectomy, this success rate falls to about 3 out of 10 men. It is important to understand that success is not guaranteed. Even if the operation is technically successful, the presence of sperm in your semen doesn’t guarantee that your partner will get pregnant.
