Are you contemplating having a vasectomy reversal procedure with an aim of fathering more children later on; then you have come to the right place since you will get answers to your questions regarding vasectomy reversal process.
Is it possible to reverse a vasectomy?
Vasectomy procedure involves severing of the vas deferens in order to block the movement of sperms from the epididymis to the prostate glands and from here; they get to be removed during ejaculation. The reversal therefore involves the undoing of the same procedure where the two previously severed ends of the vas deferens are joined once more so that the sperms can flow freely once more. The whole process is not easy. This is because there are several crucial factors which determine the type of reversal to be carried out and the rate of success of the reversal. The less complicated the surgery, the higher the percentage of attaining success.
Vasovasostomy is the easiest form of reversal procedure carried out after the surgeon notices nothing wrong with the patient. In case the patient has some complication like blockage of the vas deferens he will need to carry out a vasoepididymostomy .The surgeon will join one end of the vas deferens to the epididymis to create direct passage for the sperms formed to go to the prostate gland. The development of scar tissue happens in people who had vasectomy more than ten years before they seek a reversal procedure.
What does the surgeon consider when choosing the type of reversal procedure to use/
?
After the examination of the patients, the doctor might notice some blockage in the vas deferens or a hardened epididymis or even some problems are noted after the surgeon opens the scrotum.For a high rate of success to be attained one is advised to go for the procedure before a long period of time has elapsed.
What should I expect before the surgery?
A thorough examination will be conducted on the patient before the procedure is carried out. You will also be required to come to the clinic around one hour before the procedure is carried out so that they surgeon and staff can discuss with you anything that you would want to know about the surgery.
What should I expect during the surgery?
One can choose between general or local anesthesia unless the patient has a complication that will need the doctor to perform the surgery under general anesthesia. One does not have to stay in hospital after local anesthesia is used in carrying out the procedure but in case general anesthesia is used; its effects take longer to ease so you need to stay in the clinic for some time if you are to drive yourself home.
What is the result of a surgery process?
The surgeon will discuss with you how you are expected to conduct yourself after the reversal procedure since this is one of the determining factors towards the success of the procedure. Some painkillers will be given to you in order to ease the pain that you may experience after the reversal. You should also use some ice packs on the place to ease the swelling .Although you can resume working, you should not get involved in some difficult work. You can take a bath after 2 days but you cannot use a bathtub or swim until seven days are over. You should not engage in sex for a period of one month after the reversal procedure
