A vasectomy doesn't have to be the end of your fertility. If you wish to undo a vasectomy, we have highly effective options to help you have a biological child.
Are Vasectomies Reversible?
Although vasectomy can be a permanent method of sterilization, doctors can often reverse it. A vasectomy reversal gives you the chance to have a biological child again.
Vasectomy is a procedure that clamps or re-routes the vas deferens (tube that carries sperm to semen). You don't stop making sperm after a vasectomy. Instead, the sperm is blocked from mixing with semen, so it doesn't come out during ejaculation.
A vasectomy reversal re-connects the vas deferens so sperm mixes with semen again. The sperm can come out in your ejaculate, so you are once again fertile.
How Successful Is a Vasectomy Reversal?
Vasectomy reversal success rates can vary. They depend on:
- How long it's been since you had your vasectomy (If you have a reversal within 10 years of vasectomy, the success rate is up to 95 percent.)
- Your age and health status
- Skill and experience of your surgeon
