Can vasectomy be reversed?

can vasectomy be reversed?

In many cases, vasectomy can be reversed. However, it involves a microsurgical procedure (called a vaso-vasostomy) which is expensive and does not guarantee returned fertility.

It is estimated that 10% of all men who have had a vasectomy consider reversal at some point in time. Therefore, it is unwise to have a vasectomy if you are uncertain about it, or are relying on a possible surgical reversal to hedge your decision.

Therefore, you should only proceed with having a vasectomy if you are very certain you do not want more children.
