Why Do Couples Choose to Reverse Vasectomies and Tubal Ligations?
The most common reasons a couple would change their minds about having another child are due to one or more of the following: • Desire to add to the current family • Desire to conceive after a remarriage • Desire to conceive after the loss of a child • A change in financial status • Discomfort due to post-tubal ligation syndrome (heavy periods, early menopause, loss of libido, and mood swings are among the symptoms of PTLS) It is estimated that up to 10% of men who underwent vasectomies and up to 25% of women who underwent tubal ligations end up seeking a reversal.
