Why Do Men Seek Vasectomy Reversals?
There are many reasons a patient may consider reversing his vasectomy. Some of the most common include:
- A change in life circumstances or family goals
- A new partner who desires children
- Loss of a child or psychological regret
- Interest in using natural conception and/or assisted reproductive methods
Whatever the reason, you're not alone—and you have great options to consider!
Success Rates and What Affects Them
Vasectomy reversals have a high success rate, especially when performed by a skilled urologist using advanced microsurgical techniques. Success can be measured in two ways:
- Patency rate: Whether sperm return to the semen
- Pregnancy rate: Whether conception occurs after reversal
Both outcomes are affected by several factors:
- Time since vasectomy – Reversals within 10 years typically have the highest success rates.
- Surgical technique – Microsurgical reversals offer better outcomes.
- Partner's fertility – The age and health of your partner also play a role.
With the right care, men can achieve excellent results, even many years after the original vasectomy.

FAQs
Is vasectomy reversal painful?
Discomfort is typically mild. The procedure is done under anesthesia, and recovery often involves only a few days of rest and light activity.
How long does it take to know if the reversal worked?
Sperm analysis is usually done at 6–12 weeks post-op to evaluate the return of sperm in the semen.
Can vasectomy reversal be done more than once?
Yes, although success rates are slightly lower with repeat procedures. Dr. Jackson can help assess your individual situation.
How much downtime is required after surgery?
Most men return to non-strenuous work within 5–7 days. Strenuous activity or heavy lifting should be avoided for about 2 weeks.
Does insurance cover vasectomy reversal?
Many insurance plans consider reversal elective and may not cover it. At the initial consultation, our office will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options, if needed. Call today to explore options for consideration!
