Frequently Asked Questions

Can a vasectomy be reversed after 10 or 15 years?

It may still be possible to reverse a vasectomy after 10, 15 or more years. However, the interval since vasectomy can affect the chance of success and the type of repair required. A consultation is needed for a realistic individual assessment.

Is vasectomy reversal available on the NHS?

Vasectomy reversal is not routinely funded by the NHS and is usually arranged privately. Exceptional funding is uncommon. You can contact Krishnan Urology directly to discuss a private consultation.

Do I need a GP referral?

Self-paying patients can usually make a direct enquiry without a GP referral. If you plan to use private medical insurance, check your insurer’s requirements and whether fertility-related treatment is covered before booking.

Is vasectomy reversal performed under general anaesthetic?

The procedure is normally carried out under general anaesthetic. Your anaesthetic and any personal health considerations will be discussed before surgery.

Can I go home on the same day?

Vasectomy reversal is usually performed as day-case surgery. Most patients go home the same day once they have recovered safely from the anaesthetic. You will need to arrange for someone to take you home and follow the instructions provided by the hospital.

How soon can I return to work?

This depends on your recovery and the physical demands of your job. Desk-based work may be possible sooner than work involving heavy lifting or prolonged physical activity. Mr Krishnan and the hospital team will give advice for your circumstances.

When can we try for a pregnancy?

You will normally need to avoid sexual activity for around two to three weeks while the repair begins to heal. Follow the advice given after your operation. Semen analysis in the following months will check whether sperm have returned.

Does the operation guarantee that we can conceive naturally?

No. A successful repair may restore sperm to the semen, but pregnancy also depends on sperm quality and the fertility of both partners. Your consultation will cover the difference between surgical patency and pregnancy.

Should my partner have fertility tests?

This may be helpful, particularly when there are concerns about fertility or age-related time pressures. Understanding both partners’ reproductive health can make it easier to compare reversal with IVF or ICSI.

What happens if the reversal does not work?

Options may include further assessment, assisted conception using surgically retrieved sperm or, in selected cases, repeat reversal. The most appropriate next step depends on the reason for failure and your circumstances as a couple.
