Houston area doctor discusses vasectomy reversal success rates
When men are considering a vasectomy reversal in the Houston, TX area, one of their primary concerns is the success rate. Dr. Jeffrey P. Buch, director of Legacy Male Health, has been providing vasectomy reversals since 1985 and continues to see pregnancies occur for couples interested in expanding their families.
Vasectomy reversal
Men who have regrets in having a vasectomy done and want to experience fatherhood are encouraged to take the time to learn about the vasectomy reversal procedure. Dr. Jeffrey P. Buch discusses with patients the factors that can affect the success rate of the treatment. They include:
- The amount of time since the initial vasectomy
- The age of the patient
- The size and health of the testicles
- The condition of the vasectomy site
- The health of the sperm (analyzed at the time of reversal)
Candidates
The best candidates are patients who have healthy testicles and who have fertile partners. While the factors above may affect the success rate, our team has seen many reversals result in pregnancies. At Legacy Male Health, patients are thoroughly examined to determine if the reversal is appropriate and can be successful based on the many issues that can come into play. Assessing patients on an individual basis ensures the success of the reversal should patients consider moving forward with the procedure.
Statistics
Dr. Jeffrey P. Buch has seen sperm return in 99% of his straightforward cases and has noticed a 65% or higher pregnancy rate within 1-2 years depending on partner factors.
