Can a vasectomy be reversed?

If a man has undergone a vasectomy and the couple still wants to have children, they can go to the hospital for a vasectomy reversal. Because vasectomy cuts off the male's vas deferens, the ability to fertilize sperm can be restored by reconnecting the vas deferens in the hospital. The success rate of fertility after a vasectomy reversal is very high.

Complications of male sterilization

1. Bleeding may occur within a short period of time after ligation. Generally, external bleeding is easier to detect, but the bleeding sites may also be different, including subcutaneous hematoma of the scrotum, spermatic cord hematoma and scrotal hematoma.

2. Failure to pay attention to infection of the incision. Failure to maintain good hygiene after the operation may cause redness, swelling, heat and pain around the incision. Severe cases may lead to varicocele, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis, etc.

3. Local pain occurs. Some men will feel joint pain in the ligated area after the operation. This pain may even last for up to a month.

4. The appearance of congestion syndrome. After the vas deferens is cut off, the testicles will continue to produce sperm, but they cannot be discharged in time. They may accumulate in the epididymis, causing blockage of the testicles and thus forming epididymal congestion syndrome.

No matter what kind of surgery, there will be a certain incision. So after the surgery, you must pay attention to rest and pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection, which may cause a series of complications and cause great harm to the male body. At the same time, it does not mean that vasectomy is once and for all. Sperm may still survive for a short period of time after vasectomy, so you must pay attention to contraception.
