Vasectomies are reversible.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoIVF still works if you've had your tubes tied. There are options available in either case in the rare event the patient regrets it later.
- bojangleslover 4y agoIVF is a much bigger deal and cost than a vasectomy reversal.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoSo? Choices have consequences, but the point is that it isn't like someone who gets their tubes tied will be forever locked out of having children.
- shmde 4y agoVasectomies are not always reversible.
- patmcc 4y agoThis is a dangerous meme that should die. They're about 50% likely to be reversible after 5 years. That's not what we generally mean when we say something is "reversible". It's a permanent procedure that can sometimes be reversed.
- gnicholas 4y agoIs IVF still an option when it cannot be reversed surgically? I realize this is much more expensive; I'm just wondering since I've heard about the reversibility issues and didn't know if that means you're completely SOL.
- patmcc 4y agoI think there are procedures for removing sperm directly from the testicles, yeah. So potentially there are other options if reversal fails.
