Most Common Vasectomy Reversal Question

GA Vasectomy Reversal Success Rate: In addition to concerns regarding  cost, the most common question the couple seeking information about a vasectomy reversal  is, ” What is the success rate?” This question is tricky and the answer is, “Well it depends.” When one inquires about success there are several factors to take into account and the particulars of each will vary from patient to patient.

Three Factors Influence Vasectomy Reversal Success

The three factors that are important to vasectomy reversal success are: The number of years since the vasectomy was performed, the experience and skill of the surgeon, and the findings at the time of the procedure.  The details and an explanation of each of these factors will be discussed at the time of the vasectomy reversal phone consultation. A thorough discussion with pictures can be found in Dr. McHugh’s eBook about Vasectomy Reversals.

Other Reversal Success Factors

So you see the answer to the question, ” What is the success rate?” is a complicated one. If the male after a vas reversal has sperm in his ejaculate, that does not necessarily mean that the couple will achieve pregnancy. The time it takes for sperm to regain its former motility varies as well. Then of course as a backdrop to all of these issues are the normal impediments to pregnancy that all couples face. This is why in the chart above you see the disparity between patent and pregnant.

As someone who battles anxiety (especially around medical stuff), the idea of a vasectomy was unpleasant to say the least. At my initial consult, Dr. McHugh addressed my anxiety immediately and reassured me with a very clear picture of what to expect as well as options to ease my nerves on the day of the procedure. I ended up electing to receive nitrous (laughing gas) in addition to some anxiety medication to take prior to arriving. From the moment I walked in the door on the day of, the staff were beyond friendly, caring, and efficient. They even let me select music to listen to during the procedure. It was evident that Dr. McHugh and his staff genuinely cared about me and making the procedure as comfortable as possible according to my specific needs. It could not have been a better experience!
