What is a Vasectomy?
A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that provides permanent male contraception by interrupting the vas deferens, preventing sperm from entering the ejaculate.
The procedure:
-
Is performed under local anaesthetic
-
Does not affect testosterone, erections, or libido
-
Requires confirmation of success with post-procedure semen testing
-
Is considered permanent and should only be undertaken with certainty
What is Vasectomy Reversal?
Vasectomy reversal is a microsurgical procedure that reconnects the vas deferens to restore the flow of sperm into the semen.
It is technically complex and outcomes depend on:
-
Time since vasectomy
-
Partner fertility factors
-
Presence of sperm at the time of surgery
-
Surgical expertise
Your consultant will assess feasibility and expected success rates.
