Effectiveness of vasectomy reversal operations fades with time, from (maybe) 90% in the first three years to 30% after fifteen and less than 10% after twenty years. So if you’re going to change your mind, do it soon. The passage of time makes a vas deferens.
It’s a gamble. You decide on a vasectomy with your wife who decides to be your ex-wife. Then you decide to get remarried again. The problem is that you’ve already had your vasectomy.
My doctor told me when I had it done that it would never be reversed. At the time he was President of the Board of Urologists.
10 years later and a new wife who had substantial funds, we went to the top reversal specialist in the state and said he knew my doctor and had several successful reversals of his patients.
So we went ahead and I had the surgery.
6 months went by and at my checkup he said it was a complete and utter failure. I was ecstatic deep down.
But at least I got a great memory of how we got the sample for the test.
