NY Vasectomy Reversal

After Your NY Vasectomy Reversal

When you have a vasectomy reversal, you are rejoining tubes that were blocked during the initial vasectomy. During a typical vasectomy procedure, a surgeon will block the path that a man’s sperm typically take in order to reach the male urethra. When you undergo the vasectomy reversal surgery, you are typically under a general anesthetic. The process is fairly simple and is done on an outpatient basis. When you use an anesthetic, you won’t feel any pain at all and you will be asked to lie completely still during the surgery, so you won’t disrupt the critical stitch.

Once you’ve had your NY vasectomy reversal, that’s when your job begins. You need to watch what you do during this sensitive time to ensure that your surgery was a success. This is the period called after the reversal. These are some things you should keep in mind when you are recovering from your surgery. Take it easy for a few days.

The First Two Days

The first two days after your surgery are critical. When a surgeon completes a vasectomy reversal, the primary goal is to reattach the blocked vas deferens tube. During a vasectomy, your vas deferens tubes were blocked, so your sperm could no longer reach your urethra. During a vasectomy reversal surgery, your surgeon will release all the pressure points in your vas deferens tubes, suture them to be completely secure and check your fluids to make sure you are once again flowing properly. Dr. Aaron Spitz uses a high-powered microscope that allows him to reattach the vas deferens tubes successfully.

The First Two Weeks

The first two weeks are also important. You should get plenty of rest, use ice packs, and refrain from doing strenuous exercise or heavy lifting. You should also abstain from sexual activity for a while after your surgery.
