Can a vasectomy be reversed?

Vasectomy is a male sterilization surgery. Generally, men who have had a vasectomy will not be able to get pregnant with women. If you want to prepare for pregnancy after having a vasectomy, you can do so by reversing the vasectomy. Many people are confused and think that vasectomy cannot be reversed and you can have children again. Can vasectomy be reversible? Let's take a look.

1. Can vasectomy be reversed?

Many families have chosen male vasectomy for better contraception. Now that the second-child policy has been opened, many families want to have a second child. So, can the vasectomy be recanalized? The answer is yes. You only need to do a vasectomy recanalization.

The principle of vasectomy is to block the vasectomy by tying, clamping, injecting sticky materials, or performing electrocoagulation to block the vasectomy, thus preventing the sperm and egg from combining, thus achieving the purpose of contraception. If you want to reverse the vasectomy, you can do a recanalization operation.

2. Vasectomy

Vasectomy reversal is to reconnect the previously severed vas deferens and reopen the previously blocked passage. It is a reshaping surgery that involves removing the scar at the original ligation site and performing a vasectomy to open the vas deferens.

3. Notes

Since vasectomy is a permanent severance of the vas deferens, if there is a desire to have children later, recanalization of the vas deferens can be performed to make the vas deferens unobstructed. However, whether women can immediately restore normal pregnancy depends on the scope of the surgery, the site of vasectomy, the degree of damage, the diameter of the vas deferens at both ends, the remaining length of the vas deferens, whether there is an inflammatory scar reaction at the end of the vas deferens, etc. It is wrong to think that the function of natural pregnancy can be restored by simply "loosening" the tied vas deferens.
