It is a tie!

Yes, a vasectomy is permanent. Yes, it can be reversed with a lot of luck. Vasectomy reversal is not a very ethical business.

There are many success stories, but there are a LOT more failures. The truth is success rates are about 25-30%. Sure you will see claims of 70-90%, but that is a lie. The doctors are in the business to sell false hope.

Reversals are a painful and complex surgery. It usually takes several hours. Often when the vasectomy reversal surgery is successful it takes up to three years for a successful surgery. The cost is about 10 grand.

there is a reversal operation though I don't know what the success rate on it is

Yes it's possible.

It can be done but the success is not 100% guarnateed.

It can be reversed, but it's a more invasive surgery and it doesn't always work. According to this site, it can cost about $20,000 and it's not covered by insurance.

It can usually be reversed but it is expensive surgery and success is not guaranteed.

Yes it can, but it depends on a number of things.

1. How the original vasectomy was done, and how much of the vas defrens were removed to accomplish this.

2. When it was done, if it has only been a few years the sucess rate is higher than with some one who had it done 10 or more years ago.

3. The person's age.

I have a brother in law that had a child with his Ex that had CP, he had a vasectomy. When he married my sister a few years later they wanted children and he had it reversed, they now have two teens. One a senior and the other a junior in school.

Yeah it can be reversed but i read somewhere that there is only a 70% chance of it being able to be reversed, and that number lowers as the years go by.

A vasectomy CAN be reversed, although it's rather expensive to have done. Better to have a vasectomy reversed than a tubal ligation for a female. Higher rates of success with the male reversal than the female one.

Heres the deal, an operation can re-connect the passage for semen. However what happens is the sperm build up after the snip and have no where to go and "leak" into the body. The bodies cells detect them as "forgein" and fight them. Thus dropping the sperm count. A vasectomy should be seen as sterilization not birth control.
