The surgeon who carries out the vasectomy reversal procedure is one of the most determining factors in the success of the procedure. This is in regard to his qualifications and experience. This is because the minor operation involves an intricate process of removing liquid which has collected in the testicular end of the vas deferens tube. This fluid id examined in terms of color, sperm count and the efficacy of the sperms present. Once the report is positive about the ability of the sperms present to fertilize an egg, the severed ends of the tubes are joined again so that the sperms can reach the semen which will then be released during ejaculation.
One has a choice over the kind of anesthesia to use: local or general anesthesia for the carrying out of the reversal process. Since the procedure takes just a short time of a maximum of three hours, he patient goes back home the same day. Some painkillers are given to the patient for the relief of any pain when at home. One will also be instructed on how to nurse the minor wound.
If you experience any of the above conditions, it is imperative t get in touch with your micro surgeon at once to prevent further complications.
One should have a lot of bed rest and not perform hard work for some time after the surgery. One should avoid having sexual intercourse for a period of four weeks until the wound has fully healed. One can start having sex after a month. One is also supposed to wear jockstrap for several days in order to provide some hold onto the testicles.There are some dangers associated with the vasectomy procedure like bleeding from the wound which resulted from the procedure. One also gets a scar which might take some time to heal plus the possibility of an infection.
One is also advised to consult the micro surgeon after five to seven days in order for the surgeon to examine the wound to see how it is fairing on. It will not require the removal of the sutures used. After a period of two to three months; one will be advised to have a sperm count whose level is likely to be low at the beginning but increase with time. They will become normal within a period of eight to twelve months after the reversal process.
One is advised to have his sperm stored safely after a vasectomy because there are cases where the person ends up losing all the sperms in the semen due to fibrosis. This condition develops over time after the procedure.
The couple will need to wait for a few months after the reversal is carried out before they can see positive results of the reversal process. The period could range from eight to twelve months to determine for whether the procedure was a success or not. At other times, one might need to wait longer than this, probably for years. One should however have a review of the procedure if the partner has not conceived after three years from the time the vasectomy reversal procedure was carried out. If the procedure fails, one can look for alternatives like invitro fertilization.
One cannot be guaranteed of the success of the procedure although there is always a high chance of its success.One can however have a test run on him before the procedure to check the possibilities available for success of the operation.
