Can a vasectomy be reversed 20 years later?

As the two-child policy is gradually relaxed, more and more middle-aged couples who are able to do so will choose to have a second child. For most middle-aged couples, they would choose sterilization surgery when they were young for better contraception. Compared with general contraceptive methods, sterilization surgery has a higher success rate and is more convenient. However, if you want to have a second child, you will need to undergo recanalization surgery after sterilization surgery. So, can you recanalize after 20 years of sterilization?

Can it be recanalized after vasectomy 20 years ago? It is necessary to clarify the method of vasectomy and the condition of the vas deferens at that time.

It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's urology department for it. The operation itself is very simple and generally there should be no problem. The male vas deferens itself is very thin. If you have undergone vasectomy 20 years ago, the success rate of recanalization surgery is still very high.

In fact, it is possible to restore fertility. You can go to the hospital for a vasectomy recanalization.
