A vasovasostomy, or a vasectomy reversal, is a complex, precision-oriented microsurgery and it's not one that should be trusted to just anyone. There are certain attributes that one should look for when making this important, life-changing decision. Here are five things you should consider before choosing a vasectomy reversal doctor.

  • How long has the vasectomy reversal doctor been practicing within the field?

  • Let's face it; you want to make sure the doctor knows what he's doing before taking a scalpel to that most sensitive of areas, right? Always ask the physician about his or her learning credentials, career history and a list of contactable references. Don't worry about offending or upsetting the doctor with this line of questioning; they get it all the time and in most cases, they will discuss them with you before you even have to ask.

  • Where does the vasectomy doctor perform the procedure?

  • This is an important question because you should know early-on if you are going to have the procedure performed in their office or at a nearby hospital. If they have space available for the procedure to be performed in-office, ask to be shown around so you can feel comfortable with their approach.

  • What type of procedure does the vasectomy doctor use?

  • There are two types of procedures available to vasectomy reversal doctors and before making a selection, you should first find out which type your physician is going to use. These two types are a vasovasostomy and an epididymostomy. Vasovasostomy is the most commonly performed of the two as an epididymostomy is a more complex procedure, usually reserved for cases in which a blockage of the epididymis is evident.

  • What is the vasectomy reversal doctor's success rate for sperm recovery?

  • Vasectomy reversals are surgeries that enjoy a fairly high success rate. However, no medical procedure can boast a 100 percent success rate. Therefore, it's important to learn where your vasectomy reversal doctor stands within their field. The ultimate goal of reversing the vasectomy is to get the sperm flowing again, so you want to make sure your doctor has a high success rate for sperm recovery.

  • What is the pregnancy rate for the vasectomy reversal doctor's patients?

  • This and question #4 go hand in hand. Of course, the rate of sperm recovery will definitely have an impact on the chance of pregnancy. Ask the doctor what the pregnancy rate is for previous patients who were undergoing the procedure so they could extend their family.

Some people have the amazing strength and courage to turn tragedy into something good for others. This young woman turned her near life-ending tragedy into a journey help men and to help Marine wounded in the wars. Loredana "Laurie" Meilbeck, a Registered Yoga Instructor, had her world changed forever in the form of an oversized SUV crushing her tiny Ford Escort at 65 miles an hour. Common and unfortunate enough perhaps, but it is the human spirit growing beyond this tragedy which makes for a story.
For many men perhaps the most annoying and constant "ailment" that infringes on their life is back pain, and the same was true for me. While there are many cures and treatments claimed, many are temporary or risky or have side effects. The properly crafted yoga routine, designed for men to heal their back, can do wonders for easing pain and discomfort.
It is a perfectly believable, perfectly acceptable fact that some men simply don't want kids. Some find kids impractical, some find kids annoying, and some just find kids to be a waste of time. Regardless of the reasons, there are just some men that are willing to go to great lengths to not have children. In a sort of twisted tradition, birth control has a tendency to be seen as the woman's responsibility, even though it can be argued that the male half of a coupling is more "active" in this regard. Some men, however, have come to terms with their role in the conception process and have willingly undergone the penultimate birth control procedure available to the human male: the vasectomy.
Most men suffer from back pain and often do not take corrective action to help themselves feel better and improve the health of their back. Women can encourage their man to heal their back, feel better and avoid the consequences of taking drugs, pain killers and perhaps avoid risky surgery. Knowing the challenges that men face for back pain and the low numbers of men who practice yoga, a professional yoga instructor with severe back injury is using yoga to help men relieve back pain.
Growing taller can seem like ridiculousness but you can actually increase your height. You might imagine you would call for implants in your shoes or to spend your time with people shorter than you, but there are established methods of adding inches to your height. This can be a notable help when making a first impression by helping you grow taller.
Vasectomy Reversible - Approximately 500,000 men decide to have a vasectomy each year. Of these men, roughly five percent will choose to make their vasectomy reversible in the future. Why would someone choose vasectomy as a permanent form of birth control and then change their mind a few short years later? The reasons are numerous.
Vasectomy Reversal California - Family planning is one of California’s most important issues and no where is the topic more relevant than in vasectomies and vasectomy reversals. In fact, vasectomy reversals in California occur more frequently than in any other state. And, it’s no surprise that some of the field’s best surgeons call the Golden State home.
