From Karl:- I’m hoping you can help as my GP was quite unhelpful and suggested my results were to be expected after my reversal op. In 2002 a had a vasectomy and in Sept 2008 had it reversed. All appeared to go well, yet my wife and I have been TTC since the reversal with [...]

From Constance:- My question is that my husband scars with keloids really bad and we had the vasectomy done in september of 2007. Can he get a keloid where they did the no scapel vasectomy? Could this keloid if he got one help recanalize the vas deferens? We have two beautiful children and did not [...]

From John:- I had a vasectomy Feb of 09. As a child, I had an undescended testicle until I had it operated on at the age of 7. When I had my vasectomy done, my doctor did not cut the vas on the testicle that was undescended because there was a lot of scar tissue [...]
