Vasectomy reversal is a procedure that is designed to enable a man to father his own biological child again after he has been subjected to a vasectomy months or years before. Depending on the amount of sperm present in your system, a vasovasostomy or vasoepididymostomy procedure may be done.
There are various benefits to having a vasectomy-reversal. If you're not sure whether you should go for the procedure or not, you may want to look at these:
1. The most obvious benefit of having a previous vasectomy operation reversed is that it will give you the chance to be fertile once again. While there are no guarantees that a vasectomy-reversal procedure will work in all cases, it nevertheless is a successful procedure in most. Certain circumstances might have encouraged you to undergo a vasectomy before. But, when these conditions have changed, having a reversal procedure will allow you the chance to have the child that you didn't have. Some of these conditions may include the death of a lone child, remarriage after a divorce, or the simple longing to have another child. When your financial status has also changed and in case you are now in a position to rear your own child, then you may also get the benefit of a vasectomy-reversal.
2. Cost-benefit analyses have shown that reversal vasectomy procedures restore fertility at a lower cost when compared to other options, including intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and in-vitro fertilization. While some insurance companies do not cover the cost of a vasectomy reversal procedure, it still runs generally cheaper than ICSI or in-vitro fertilization methods.
3. A vasectomy-reversal will allow you and your partner to conceive a child using the "natural" method. A successful reversal operation enables couples to have as many children as they so desire without the need to take fertility drugs or some such measures.
4. In case you and your partner are not comfortable with assisted-reproductive technology (i.e. test tube babies), you can still conceive a child using natural means through a vasectomy reversal.
5. If you're like some men who experience testicular pain related to vasectomy, then undergoing a vasectomy reversal can alleviate the pain.
6. Many clinics and hospitals perform vasectomy reversals on a regular basis, and this is generally considered a safe procedure. A regional or local anesthesia may be given. These modern anesthetic procedures have been proven safe and produce little or no side effects.
7. A reversal vasectomy procedure will give you a chance to be emotionally ready before having a child. Some single men opt to undergo a vasectomy to ensure that they do not unintentionally father a child while still "playing the field." Once they have found the woman of their dreams and are emotionally prepared to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood, a reversal vasectomy gives them the chance. Vasectomies performed less than fifteen years before have pretty good chances of being reversed.
These are some of the benefits of a reversal vasectomy. Whatever your ultimate decision is, you should carefully discuss these, and all the pros and cons covered, with your partner. Since this is a major medical concern, you must cover all the bases and learn all you can about the procedure before making your final decision whether to undergo or not.
