Age is not a barrier. Any man who is considering further children despite their vasectomy is eligible. Most men who are considering a vasectomy reversal are in a new relationship. Some men feel unhappy with their original vasectomy or have discomfort associated with that operation and want to return to “normal”.

All patients requesting a reversal of their vasectomy are treated with a totally non-judgmental attitude. No-one can predict what is to happen in their lives, and this service is offered to help individuals become fertile again.

Vasectomy Reversal operations are more successful the sooner that they are done after the original vasectomy.

With microscope techniques up to 90% of men will achieve a positive sperm count after vasectomy reversal. It is important to understand that pregnancy is not guaranteed. If sperm are found then this does not mean that your partner will definitely get pregnant.

Other factors which can affect the success of the vasectomy reversal:

• The time that has passed since your vasectomy
• The age of your partner
• Technical factors due to your previous vasectomy
• A problem with another part of the reproductive system
• The presence of antibodies.
