Whether you’re interested in a vasectomy or vasectomy reversal, you want to feel confident in your surgeon – and at INTEGRIS Health our surgeons have decades of experience.
For most couples, birth control and family planning is something that usually rests on the woman’s shoulders, but vasectomies provide a safe, relatively simple alternative. A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure that makes a man sterile, or unable to father a child. Generally, vasectomy leaves the patient unchanged except that the vas deferens—the tubes leading to the testes—are blocked using small incisions – or in some cases, no incision at all. A man who has had a vasectomy still produces semen and is able to ejaculate, but the semen doesn't contain sperm and is unable to fertilize a woman’s egg. The level of testosterone, libido, and other sexual characteristics like the ability to have an erection remain the same.
A vasectomy reversal restores fertility by reconnecting the severed vas deferens. There are plenty of reasons to get a vasectomy reversal, but the most common reasons are remarriage following a divorce, or simply having a change of heart about family planning. Recovery is generally faster than the original vasectomy, and your age shouldn’t be an issue.
Whether you’re interested in a vasectomy or getting a vasectomy reversed, you’re in the best of hands with INTEGRIS Health. Our renowned physicians, urologists and surgeons have decades of experience counseling men through the decision-making process, as well as performing the delicate surgery.
