Why is a His Choice vasectomy different?

Thousands of 5 star reviews show that we’ve gotten this right. Learn more about the procedure here.
What is after vasectomy recovery?

Our Most Common Questions
How long after vasectomy can it be reversed?
A vasectomy can be reversed even many years after the original procedure. In general, the less time that has passed since the vasectomy, the greater the likelihood of a successful reversal.
The effect of time since your vasectomy on vasectomy reversal outcomes can be seen more clearly by reviewing the success rates based on the number of years since vasectomy in the next section.
What is the success rate of vasectomy reversal?
The single most important predictor of vasectomy reversal success is the length of time that has passed since the original vasectomy.
When a vasectomy is reversed:
Less than 3 years after the procedure, the success rate can be as high as 97%.
3 to 8 years after the procedure, the success rate is approximately 90%.
9 to 14 years after the procedure, the success rate is approximately 80%.
14 years or more after the procedure, the success rate is approximately 65%.
Across all of our patients, the average vasectomy reversal success rate is approximately 85%. Most couples who achieve pregnancy following vasectomy reversal will do so within the first 12 months after surgery.
Vasectomy reversal success is defined as the return of sperm to the semen, as confirmed by semen analysis performed at 3 and 6 months after vasectomy reversal surgery.
The likelihood of pregnancy after a successful vasectomy reversal depends on several factors, but one of the most important is the age and fertility of the female partner.
In general, the pregnancy rate after vasectomy reversal is approximately half the rate of successful sperm recovery.
What is the cost of vasectomy reversal?
His Choice Health provides affordable outpatient vasectomy reversal surgery. Currently, all His Choice Health patients travel to our Raleigh, North Carolina, location for vasectomy reversal surgery.
For more information: Cost of Vasectomy Reversal
The total cost of vasectomy reversal surgery includes:
Preoperative consultation
Outpatient vasectomy reversal surgery
Surgeon’s fee
Facility fees
Anesthesia medications
Anesthesia fees
Scrotal support
Additional expenses that are not included in the cost of surgery include the surgery scheduling fee, travel to Raleigh, lodging and meals, prescription medications, and postoperative semen analysis testing.
An alternative to vasectomy reversal is sperm retrieval combined with in vitro fertilization (IVF). The cost of sperm retrieval and IVF can range from approximately $15,000 to $20,000 or more per treatment cycle.
For many couples, vasectomy reversal may provide a more affordable and cost-effective first-line option compared with sperm retrieval and IVF. Vasectomy reversal also offers the potential to restore natural fertility, allowing couples to attempt pregnancy naturally and potentially have more than one child without undergoing additional fertility treatment.
Health Insurance
Vasectomy reversal is generally considered an elective fertility procedure and is not covered by health insurance. Patients should review their individual health insurance benefits if they have questions about possible coverage.
Full payment for vasectomy reversal surgery is required at the time of scheduling. Patients may pay by credit card, bank transfer, or approved medical financing.
Financing
We accept CareCredit financing. Patients interested in financing may apply for CareCredit using this application: CareCredit for vasectomy reversal surgery
What is the recovery like after vasectomy reversal?
Pain
Most patients report mild discomfort during the first several days after vasectomy reversal surgery, typically rating their pain as 1 to 2 on a 10-point scale. Ice packs are generally not required.
Athletic Supporter
Patients wear a surgical scrotal supporter (a medical-grade athletic supporter) continuously for the first 48 hours after surgery. After 48 hours, patients may remove the surgical supporter, shower, and switch to a standard athletic supporter.
We recommend continuing to wear an athletic supporter for two weeks after vasectomy reversal surgery.
Physical Activity
Most patients can comfortably perform normal activities of daily living the day after vasectomy reversal surgery. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity during the first 48 hours.
Patients with desk jobs can typically return to work after 48 hours. Patients whose jobs require significant physical activity should generally plan to return to work after two weeks.
Ideally, intentional heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for four weeks after vasectomy reversal surgery.
Sexual Activity
We recommend waiting two weeks after vasectomy reversal surgery before resuming sexual activity.
Semen Sample Testing
We recommend semen analysis at 3 and 6 months after vasectomy reversal surgery to determine whether sperm have returned to the semen.
Pregnancy
Among couples who achieve pregnancy following vasectomy reversal, most pregnancies occur within the first 12 months after surgery.
