Vasectomy Reversal Specialist in Los Angeles
Schedule a consultation to understand your options with vasectomy reversal with the help of a Board-Certified Fertility Specialist
Every year, many men undergo vasectomy surgery to prevent them from fathering children in the future. However, what happens if a man has a vasectomy but wants to undo the procedure later?
Luckily, a vasectomy is not necessarily permanent. While success is not guaranteed, a man wishing for the chance to get his partner pregnant and father a child can undergo vasectomy reversal surgery. Reproductive Fertility Center in Los Angeles has been supporting male’s who have a change of heart and look to have a baby.
How is Vasectomy Reversal Surgery Work?
Vasectomy Reversal is a relatively minor procedure that occurs near the scrotum. The entire process is relatively quick with a fast recovery time. Below is a detailed breakdown of the steps you could expect from a vasectomy reversal.
Consultation
You will first schedule a consultation at Reproductive Fertility Center. At the consultation, you will discuss the specifics of your situation with Dr. Saadat, including when your vasectomy was performed and any other relevant information about you to determine if this is a good option for you.
Vasectomy Reversal Surgery
You will be given local or general anesthesia in preparation for your vasectomy reversal. In a vasectomy, the vas deferens (the tube that carries the sperm from your testicle into the semen) is severed. With vasectomy reversal surgery, the vas deferens is reconnected.
During vasectomy reversal surgery, a small incision is made in your scrotum. The reconnection is made in one of two ways (vasovasostomy or vasoepididymostomy), depending on whether sperm are found in the fluid taken from the vas deferens during your previous appointment.
With a vasovasostomy, the severed ends of the vas deferens are sewn back together. And with a vasoepididymostomy, the vas deferens are attached directly to the epididymis in the testicle, where the sperm is held.
Why do Men Get a Vasectomy Reversal?
A vasectomy reversal generally comes with a change of heart from someone who had a procedure to no longer can have children. There are a few common reasons why men most commonly get a vasectomy reversal:
Change of Heart
Many couples think that they do not want to have children or that they do not want more children than they already have. In these cases, the man may choose to have a vasectomy. However, the couple’s initial decision may change over time, and they want to either have their first child or another child.
New Partner
After a separation (divorce or breakup) or the passing of a female partner, a man who has had a vasectomy in the past may meet a new partner, and they decide that they would like to have a biological child.
Pain After Vasectomy
While it is very rare, some men suffer from a condition called chronic scrotal pain after a vasectomy, causing there to be a need to reverse the initial procedure. Most men experience little to no discomfort after surgery.

“Eternally Grateful”
It is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year we were feeling depressed and anxious and unsure about whether or not this would happen for us. This year we are expecting the birth of our first child. Dr. Saadat is amazing. You will feel the difference right away between his office and any other office around. They must make it a rule there to only hire friendly, compassionate people because everyone there was so sweet – especially all the nurses. Thanks again for everything guys!
"Felt Welcome From the Start"
I wanted to say thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcome to our first visit especially on a Saturday. We met with Dr. Sadaat and was very informative and took time with us with all of our questions. For the financial department, Melissa was very helpful with keeping in contact with us regarding any paperwork that we needed as well as with setting our appointment. We do look forward for treatment with Dr. Saadat.
"The Solution to Our Problems"
We just celebrated our son’s first birthday, and thought we should send out warm wishes to Dr. Saadat and his team as well. Without them this would not have been possible. We had “unexplained” infertility issues and the first clinic we went to was not very friendly and we felt like we were just another “cycle”. Dr. Saadat was always willing to answer questions and the nurses there were terrific. I felt like everyone in the office was on our side, and that makes a huge difference. So thank you to everyone from Anna, Michael and Alex.
"One Big Thank You"
Dr Saadat is very open and accommodating to my financial and medical concerns. He doesn’t force unnecessary tests like other places do. He’s a very nice and efficient reproductive endocrinologist.
"Helpful in Every Way"
We traveled across the world to be treated by Dr. Saadat. My wife was not able to have babies and we could not get an answer from Doctors in our country why. It is also important in our culture that our first baby be male. Dr. Saadat was able to help my wife get pregnant and make sure that we had a baby boy. They were helpful in every way and we felt comfortable even though we are not from the United States. Everyone was patient and understanding and respectful. We will be back in a few years to grow our family.
"It's Never Too Late!"
All I can say is do not give up hope! I was 43 when I got pregnant for the first time. I had honestly been trying for years. I now have 3 beautiful children, a 6 year old girl and 3 year old twins – a boy and a girl. I feel blessed every day. It can happen. Thank you Dr. Saadat.
"The Perfect Fit for the Job"
I came to Dr. Saadat’s office because I felt like the Doctor I was working with was not a good fit. It isn’t that they were doing anything wrong but I did not feel a connection. This is such a personal type of medical treatment, and I want the people helping me to make me feel cared for. Dr. Saadat’s approach is also a bit different – he does all the ultrasounds himself – which is very reassuring. His staff is great, and his bedside manner is comforting. I am thankful for everything they all did, and thankful everyday for my daughter!
