Help Me With Vas Reversal Info Posted: 08-12-04 19:55pm
Good evening everyone,
i am a 35 year-old male and I just had a
vasectomy reversal on monday (aug 9,
2004). My wife and I are very concerned
because the area of the penis and scrotum
is very blue/ purple. We expected some
discoloration and swelling but this seems
a little "excess". Any suggestions out
there from anyone who has experienced the
same?
Thanks much,
frustrated!!!!!

Sorry, I don't have any experience yet.
My husband and I are looking into vas, and
I have a lot of questions. We've had 2
surprise babies, back to back and I can't
take another surprise anytime soon.
First time was nfp and second time an iud.
I am 25 and my husband is 32. I feel
that I will want more children in the
future and was wondering the stats on vas
reversal. Would you mind telling me your
experience. Like why you had a vas and
what you know about reversal.

Hey there,
well all I can do is tell you the story
behind our reversal. We have three
beautiful children and decided that was a
good number. I always knew in my heart I
wanted more but we thought if we had to we
could adopt. That was not the avenue we
ended up taking. After about 2 years of
contemplating we decided to have the
reversal. We actually flew to florida
and used a well known surgeon. However,
as with all surgeries there are risks
involved. This procedure was supposed to
be no problem with minimal
discomfort/complications. We were told
that it was a little worse than a
vasectomy but that's it. Not so in our
case, after nearly 4 months my husband has
finally healed from what we thought would
be a fairly easy procedure. To say the
least we have had a sperm count done and
it is looking pretty grim. The surgeon
has a 2 year guarantee, if you don't get
pregnant in 2 years they will redo the
procedure for free.... Yeah, I don't
think we'll be jumping at that agian. So
in ending my drawn out story.. If you
are having any doubts about wanting more
children whether now or later, please
consider that not even the claimed to be
"best of the best" can help if you do
change your mind. I know that everyone
doesn't have the same experience or
problems, but on a personal note, my
husband and I would both do differently if
we could. I wish you the best in you
decisions.

Thank you for responding. I wasn't sure
when you would because your post was from
august. I'm sorry to hear that it's not
going well. That's exactly what i'm
afraid of. I guess we'll just have to be
abstinent until we're ready for more.
Good evening everyone,
