Vasectomy Reversal in Thailand

A vasectomy reversal in Thailand is a specialized surgical procedure that reestablishes the pathway for sperm to reach the semen, reinstating male fertility after a previous vasectomy.

Thailand offers vasectomy reversal surgery at JCI-accredited hospitals for $1,500-$2,400, compared to $5,000-$15,000 in the United States. The procedure is performed by urologists using microsurgical techniques, with success rates of 90-97% for sperm return when the vasectomy was performed less than 10 years ago.

For men whose vasectomy was more than 15 years ago, success rates decline and alternative options like surgical sperm retrieval combined with IVF may offer better chances of conception.

The Procedure

Vasectomy reversal is a surgical procedure that aims to restore fertility in men who have previously undergone a vasectomy, a procedure where the vasa deferentia, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra, are cut or blocked.

A vasectomy reversal reconnects these tubes, allowing sperm to once again travel as they naturally would. This procedure can be a viable option for those who've had a change in life circumstances, such as a new relationship or a desire to have more children.

Vasectomy reversal is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-4 hours depending on the technique required. The surgeon makes a small incision in the scrotum, identifies the vas deferens on each side, and examines the fluid from the testicular end.

Vasovasostomy is performed when sperm are present in the fluid. The surgeon reconnects the two cut ends of the vas deferens using microsurgical sutures under an operating microscope. This is the simpler procedure with higher success rates.

Vasoepididymostomy is required when no sperm are found in the vas fluid, indicating a secondary blockage in the epididymis. The surgeon connects the vas deferens directly to the epididymis, bypassing the blockage. This procedure is more complex and has somewhat lower success rates (58-85% for sperm return).

The surgeon won't know which procedure is needed until examining the fluid during surgery. Longer intervals since vasectomy increase the likelihood of requiring vasoepididymostomy.

Success Rates

The success of vasectomy reversal depends heavily on how long ago the original vasectomy was performed. According to the landmark Vasovasostomy Study Group research published in the Journal of Urology, outcomes vary significantly by time interval:

Less than 3 years since vasectomy:

  • Sperm return to semen: 97%
  • Pregnancy rate: 76%

3-8 years since vasectomy:

  • Sperm return to semen: 88%
  • Pregnancy rate: 53%

9-14 years since vasectomy:

  • Sperm return to semen: 79%
  • Pregnancy rate: 44%

15+ years since vasectomy:

  • Sperm return to semen: 71%
  • Pregnancy rate: 30%

Sperm returning to the semen doesn't guarantee pregnancy, it also depends on the sperm quality and female partner's fertility.

When Vasectomy Reversal May Not Be the Best Option

If your vasectomy was performed more than 15 years ago, or if you're over 50, a reversal may still be possible but success rates are lower. In these cases, it's worth considering whether alternative fertility treatments might offer better odds of conception.

Consider alternatives if:

  • Your vasectomy was more than 15 years ago
  • A previous reversal attempt was unsuccessful
  • Your female partner is over 35 (time to conception matters more)
  • You only want one more child (reversal restores ongoing fertility)

For men in these situations, Thailand offers excellent alternatives through its fertility clinics. Sperm can be extracted directly from the testicle or epididymis and then used with IVF and ICSI, without requiring a vasectomy reversal.

Alternatives to Vasectomy Reversal

Surgical Sperm Retrieval + IVF/ICSI

Surgical sperm retrieval involves extracting sperm directly from the testicle or epididymis using a fine needle. The sperm is then used for in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where a single sperm is injected directly into each egg.

This approach has a 90-95% success rate for obtaining viable sperm and doesn't depend on how long ago your vasectomy was performed. The main considerations are:

  • Requires the female partner to undergo IVF
  • Higher total cost than reversal alone ($8,000-$15,000 for IVF cycle in Thailand)
  • Each pregnancy attempt requires a separate IVF cycle
  • May be the better choice if female partner has fertility factors
  • Requires a valid marriage certificate when performed in Thailand

If this sounds like the right approach, we are partnered with multiple reputable fertility clinics in Bangkok and can set up a consultation for you and your partner to discuss your options.

Which Option is Right for You?

Choose vasectomy reversal if:

  • Vasectomy was less than 10 years ago
  • You may want multiple children
  • Female partner is under 35 with no known fertility issues
  • You prefer natural conception

Choose sperm retrieval + IVF if:

  • Vasectomy was more than 15 years ago
  • Previous reversal was unsuccessful
  • Female partner is over 35 or has fertility factors
  • You want the highest chance of pregnancy per attempt
  • You only want one more child

A consultation with a urologist or fertility specialist can help determine which approach offers the best chance of success for your specific situation. We can arrange consultations at both urology departments and fertility clinics to explore all options.

Timeline and Recovery

Your vasectomy reversal journey in Thailand typically follows this timeline:

Day 1: Arrive in Bangkok, rest and adjust to time zone and climate

Day 2: Consultation with urologist, pre-operative tests, review medical history

Day 3: Surgery (2-4 hours), recover in hospital, discharge same day or next morning

Days 4-7: Rest at hotel, wear supportive underwear, avoid strenuous activity

Day 7-10: Follow-up appointment, suture check, clearance to fly home

Most men experience mild to moderate discomfort for 3-5 days, manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. You should avoid heavy lifting and sexual activity for 2-3 weeks after surgery.

Sperm typically return to the semen within 3-6 months after vasovasostomy, though it can take up to 12-15 months after vasoepididymostomy. Your urologist will recommend semen analysis at 6-8 weeks post-surgery to check for sperm return. You don't have to do this analysis at the same hospital, you can visit any nearby clinic or hospital that offers semen analysis too.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health any more!

We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.

We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.

I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.

The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.

I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc.  I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure. Everything went well and all the nurses were great. Thanks!"
