MICROSCOPIC VASECTOMY Reversal
in birmingham
In our ever-changing world, our circumstances and personal feelings often change. Even if we underwent a vasectomy with set ideas in mind, it is never too late to turn back time for whatever reason with a simple, non-invasive procedure.
Even though a vasectomy or vasectomy reversal may be seen as "taboo" or slightly uncomfortable subjects to discuss, we are here to put your mind at ease to make the process as comfortable and simple as possible.
Where to start with a VASECTOMY REVERSAL
Undergoing a vasectomy reversal is a totally safe and effective procedure which changes so many lives for the better. Using the latest surgical methods, the procedure is very simple with microsurgery allowing you to return home the same day.
At Edgbaston Wellness & MediSpa you can be assured that you are in safe hands every step of the way with one of our expert practitioners to guide you through each step of the process.
At our clinic we use the latest advanced procedure called the Multilayer Microdot Vasectomy Reversal which has a success rate of over 90% and up to 95% if you had your vasectomy within the last 10 years.
This technique is recognised as the "gold standard" in terms of its effectiveness at restoring fertility in nearly all patients. This highly reliable method was first developed by Professor Goldstein at Cornell University, New York.
UNDERSTANDING VASECTOMies
When a couple decides to move forward with a family planning program, the next best option to prevent pregnancy, after abstaining from intercourse, is the male vasectomy.
In this procedure, the doctor cuts down the tube (vas deferens) that carries the sperm out of the testicles into the penis. When this connection is cut, all a man's body can ejaculate is semen that does not contain any sperm.
But circumstances change and many people may want to get this vasectomy reversed. For a reversal, a surgeon then rejoins the tubes which leads to a mixing of sperm with the semen again.
This makes you fertile once again. If you are considering such a procedure, there are several ways in which it can be done.
Types of Vasectomy Reversal Surgeries
Vasectomy in itself is just snapping off the tube and tying it up. It can be done under general or local anaesthesia. On the other hand, the reversal of the vasectomy is a bit more complicated
The most common way of a vasectomy reversal is vasovasostomy. In it, the two separated ends of the vas deferens are reconnected under a microscope. A surgeon uses a microsurgical dissolvable stitch and any leftover scar tissue from the vasectomy procedure is removed.
There are three main types of vasectomy reversal procedures:
the Process of Microscopic Vasectomy Reversal
There are several steps in the process of microscopic vasectomy reversal.
Consultation
In your private consultation, you can discuss your long-term plans, present condition, medical history and any concerns with one of our expert practitioners. With our practitioner's vast expertise, they will put you at ease to guide you through the whole process and what to expect step by step to make it as comfortable as possible. In this consultation, they will advise you on your personal plan - whether you need to undergo further tests or need to share your fertility results. After your thorough consultation and analysis, the doctor will advise whether this is the best option for you.
SUCCESS RATE OF MICROSCOPIC VASECTOMY REVERSAL PROCEDURE
The success rate of the microscopic reversal procedure is a difficult thing to ascertain. There are many things at play.
Most important is the length of time since the vasectomy was performed. If the reversal is done soon after the vasectomy, there is an increased chance of success.
If the length of time is less than 10 years, there is up to a 95 percent chance of sperm returning.
If the length of the time is 15 years, the chance becomes 70 to 85 percent.
Success rates also depend upon the experience and skill level of the surgeon. This is why getting this procedure done at a top quality facility is paramount.
Many other factors may also affect your overall fertility after you get a vasectomy reversal done. These include:
It is recommended that you get an initial semen test once three months have passed since the reversal. At this time, you will expect to see at least a little sperm in the semen sample.
Returning to full fertility can take anywhere from a year to 18 months.
It is important to focus on your health and adopt behaviour that is good for your overall fertility. The doctor may also advise you to get some supplements to help augment the sperm motility.
You will then have semen tests at the third and fourth month to check for sperm counts.
Frequently Asked Questions
You may have other questions about the procedure that may not have been answered yet. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding microscopic vasectomy reversal.
This really depends on the individual, but after your sperm count returns to normal, it usually takes 6 months. For some, it can be as little as two months or as long as 18 months to reach full fertility.
You may experience slight discomfort, pain or bruising. Rarely, you may have a slight infection, but we will be able to advise you of any side effects in person.
Not everyone is a good candidate for vasectomy reversal. For example, if your partner will need to follow through with IVF procedures, it might be better to go through a surgical sperm retrieval than a vasectomy reversal. Other reasons for you to avoid such a procedure may be advanced age, hypertension, or diabetes. These factors can complicate surgical procedures.
Recovery time from such a procedure can vary. Usually, it can take anywhere between a week or two (14 days). The surgeons and doctors recommend that you not lift any heavy thing, exert yourself, or have sexual intercourse during the next 4 weeks.
With any surgery, there is always the risk of minor complications, although we have the best doctors and use the latest advanced procedure. If you notice any pain, redness, blood or pus from the incision area, consult us immediately for our advice. If you experience a loss of feeling or fever, also speak to us or your doctor as soon as possible.
During your initial appointment, you will be consulted about the final price of your own treatment and asked to provide a non-refundable deposit for the surgery. You can then pay upfront or set up a payment plan.
