Tucson Vasectomy Reversal

How Does Vasectomy Reversal Affect Couples?

Despite the fact that vasectomy reversal is a relatively new procedure available to former vasectomy patients who are seeking to restore male fertility for a variety of reasons, about six to ten percent of males who have undergone vasectomy seek a reversal in Tucson. Vasectomy reversal is, in fact, of growing interest to males and couples around the world. Since the vasectomy reversal procedure is considered surgery, some couples may be concerned about the after-effects.

The Ability to Conceive and Vasectomy Reversal

There is quite a wide range of success rates currently recorded for vasectomy reversal. Taking into account the most common surgical method, the vasovasotomy, 40 to 75 percent of former vasectomy patients who elect to receive vasectomy reversal surgery can expect to have the ability to conceive restored. The rate is higher among micro-surgeons specializing in male fertility, where it becomes 75 to 97 percent.

Sex Life and Vasectomy Reversal

Many couples may be concerned that a vasectomy reversal procedure will have an adverse effect on sex life. However, this is not the case. Whether it is successful or unsuccessful, a vasectomy reversal has no effect on a male patient's ability to achieve erection or his sex drive. The only thing changed by a vasectomy reversal is the sperm content of the seminal stream.

Another possible concern is genital appearance. A vasectomy reversal leaves a small surgical scar that does not cause any discomfort, and in general the scrotum is well suited to healing. It is possible that the testicles may become seated higher in the scrotum as a result of surgery, but this does not cause noticeable appearance change or discomfort.
