A vasectomy should be considered a permanent form of contraception. If you were to change your mind down the road there are procedures that could be done to either reverse the vasectomy or surgically extract sperm to use during fertility treatment. The issue is neither of these treatment modalities works 100% of the time and anything that you do for family building after having had a vasectomy becomes an out of pocket expense that is quite costly. If you think that there is any chance that you may change your mind down the road, we would encourage you to consider freezing sperm at a sperm bank. Both vasectomy reversals and sperm extractions for in vitro fertilization (IVF) are offered at SGF.
