Vasectomy reversal surgery takes two to three hours to be completed and generally it is a same day check in check out procedure conducted as an outpatient surgery. The microsurgical techniques used in the surgery help to ensure that the incision is small so that there is very little scope for infection and less pain and discomfort for the patient. Recovery after the surgery is usually quick because the wound is small and regular pain killers such as Tylenol or Advil are generally enough to take care of any discomfort that you may feel after the surgery. However, your surgeon will strictly advise you against picking up heavy objects r any other form of strenuous physical activity. You will also be told to avoid sex and ejaculation for at leas four weeks after the surgery.

Do not consume alcohol within 24 hours of the surgery because the last thing you want to do is mix alcohol with painkillers and the left over anesthesia in your system. You are free to eat whatever you want; however, you should try and take bed rest or lie down as much as possible for two to three days after the surgery. You will be called in for a follow up examination five to seven days down the line to ensure that the wound is healing properly and a the right pace without any complications. Although in some cases conception was achieved in a month after the surgery; the chances of something like this happening are very rare. The regular course of action is to go for a semen analysis a month after the surgery to check the presence and the quality of the sperms in it. You may not get positive results in the first few tests as it usually takes 6 to 8 months for the sperms to return in the semen. Sometimes, a low volume of sperms is observed but their may be healthy enough to result in pregnancy. The doctor will advise you to wait for at least a year to see any real results from the surgery; however, he will follow up with you until pregnancy is achieved.

The skills sets, experience and the expertise of the micro surgeon who performs the surgery are vital elements in the success of the procedure. Discuss things such as the patency pregnancy rate of the clinic and the surgeon when you talk to him/her before the surgery. It is important to choose a surgeon who not only has the perquisite qualification that will include a one year course in fertility treatments apart from an MS but also he/she should be particularly adept at performing microsurgical procedures. It is completely acceptable to ask the doctor about his experience and even about some of the previous patients who have had the surgery done from the doctor. Make it a point to talk to some of these people so you can get a fair idea about what to expect and your chances of getting pregnant after the procedure. However, it is also important to be advised that each patient and case is different but patients who decide to go in for the reversal procedure within a year r three of the vasectomy stand a higher chance of regaining their fertility than men who wait for a decade or more.

The clinic in which you get the procedure done should also be checked out thoroughly; it should have the necessary support system such as an Andrology lab, a full time nursing and support staff, accredited microsurgical suites and a Cryobank to freeze the sperm. A clinic that has all the necessary back up with present the perfect environment for the patient as well as the doctor and higher success rate.

You may also want to ask your doctor about any surgeries that he may have conducted on patients who had already been through a reversal procedure but had failed to get pregnant. You will be entrusting your life in the hands of your doctor, so he /she should be friendly, trustworthy and sensitive to your problems. If you feel that you doctor is unwilling to answer your questions, seek out another professional.

A vasectomy surgery is usually completed in two to three hours; it is a fairly simple and straight forward procedure which is conducted under local anesthesia with one or no sutures. The procedure is absolutely painless but if you harbor a morbid fear of surgical procedures, you can always choose to go for general anesthesia. However, you will need to stay in the hospital while the effect of general anesthesia wears off.. You may feel a slight amount of discomfort and some pain once the sedation wears off; however, your surgeon will prescribe analgesics to take care of the pain. Your surgeon will also tell you to use ice packs on the scortum to control the inflammation and discomfort. Generally medication such a Mortrin, Tylenol or Advil is enough to minimize the pain.

It is normal to see some amount of swelling, discoloration and bruising on the scortum and the surrounding areas and you do not need to consult the doctor for them. However, if these symptoms last for more than a week; they may present a cause for concern and should be brought to the surgeon’s attention. At the same time, if you feel unusual pricking or throbbing pain; it may be a sign of infection and you should consult the doctor immediately if you feel intense discomfort. Here may also be some amount of bloody discharge from the area where the incision was made and there is nothing to be alarmed about.

Your doctor will hand you a list of instruction for post operative recovery and it is imperative that you follow them diligently. The normal healing period is about four weeks after which you can go right back to the regular routines of your normal life. For the first week, it is best to spend most of your time in bed or in a recliner. It is also essential to not stress yourself physically in the recovery phase; so if you generally indulge in strenuous sporting or fitness activities, you should refrain from them for four weeks. The doctor will also ask you to avoid sex; particularly ejaculation for these four weeks. The guidelines in your post operative care instructions list will look something like this:

* Take bed rest for at least 24 hours following the vasectomy reversal surgery
* You can take a shower 48 hours after the surgery but you cannot use a swimming pool or even a bath tub for a week
* You can return to work after a few days; however, you need to ensure that you do not take on any strenuous activities or physical activity at least for two weeks after the surgery
* Use ice packs for the first 48 hours to reduce the swelling in the skin of the scortum; also ice packs are very potent against pain.
* If sutures have been used to seal the incision, they will no be removed because absorbent sutures are used in vasectomy reversal procedures, so these sutures dissolve in 10 t 15 days
* If the swelling continues to increase and the scortum is larger than the size of an orange, you need to see your doctor promptly. Also increasing pain within 48 hours f the surgery calls for immediate medical intervention because it is usually a tell tale sign of infection

You will be asked to come in for a follow up consultation a week after the surgery; after four weeks, the doctor will ask you to get a semen analysis done. It is essential to refrain from ejaculation two to three days before the semen analysis after the surgery. It is important to flow this guideline to ensure consistent results. Usually, in case of a simple vaovasostomy, sperms appear in the semen in about 6 months; however, it can take longer for sperms to be observed in case of vasoepididymostomy

How well you take acre of yourself after the surgery will also have a bearing on the success of the procedure; in fact with a little bit of special attention from the family, you should be able to achieve the desired results

Are you considering vasectomy reversal to regain your fertility and have children in future; then here is a look at some valuable information that will answer an questions that you may have about the procedure.

How can a vasectomy be reversed?
When a vasectomy is conducted, the vas deferens is cut and clamped to stop the flow of sperms from the epididymis to the prostrate glands from where the sperms are expelled at the time of ejaculation. The reversal surgery involves the reconnection of the two ends of the vas deferens to establish regular sperm flow and eventual pregnancy; however, the surgery is not always this simple. There are several factors that come into play when determining the success rate and the simplicity of the surgery. Like all other things in life, the simpler the surgery, the higher will be your chances of success.

The simplest form of the surgery is called vasovasostomy and is conducted in cases where there are no complications while another procedure known as vasoepididymostomy is used when there are blockages in the form of scar tissue that can hamper the flow of sperms to the prostrate glands even after the vas deferens is reconnected. Through this procedure, the surgeon tried to bypass the blockage by joining one end of the vas deferens directly to the epididymis instead of the other ends of the tube. The formation of car tissue is usually seen in people who have had the original vasectomy ten or more years prior to the reversal procedure.

How does the surgeon determine the type of surgery that has to be conducted on a patient?
The decision will be based on any blockage that my be observed in one of the ends of the vas deferens during surgery, even though sometimes there may be overt signs such as a hardened epididymis that may point toward a possible blockage before the surgery is conducted, in most cases, the surgeon has no way to know about them until after the scortum is opened. However, if you intend to get a vasectomy reversal done, it is best to go in for the surgery within a short time of the vasectomy to avoid complications.

What happens before the surgery?
Before the surgery is conducted, the surgeon will give you a full examination and answer any questions that you may have. On the day of the surgery, you will be asked to come in an hour early so that the surgeon and the support staff can clear any doubts that you may have

What happens during the surgery?
The surgery is conducted under the influence of local or general anesthesia; the choice is often left up to the patient unless there are complications that require the administration of general anesthesia for the patients comfort. If you are given local anesthesia, you can drive back home after the surgery; however, in case of general anesthesia, you will be asked to stay in the hospital till it wears off and you will need to ask someone to pick you up. You will be sent home the same day

What happens after the surgery?
Your surgeon will discuss post operative care with you before the surgery, you will also be given a list of instructions whish should be followed meticulously to ensure the success of the surgery. You may feel some discomfort and pain; however, your doctor will prescribe over the counter painkillers like Tylenol or Advil which are strong enough to take care of the pain. You will also need to ice the area so that the inflammation can be minimized. You can go back to work in a few days; however, you will have to refrain from indulging in strenuous activities this includes taxing workout regimens You can take a shower 48 hours after the procedure, however, you cannot use the bath tub or the swimming pool. Also, the doctor will tell you to stay away from sexual activities and ejaculation for four weeks after the surgery.

It is a fact that most men wished that they can have bigger penises. So the question is why on earth are men so concerned about the size of their penises?

A survey on one thousand mejn commissioned by Penthouse magazine found that almost every respondent thinks that his manhood is too small and wished that he has a larger penis. Why is there this obsession for a bigger manhood when sex experts say the vast majority of women do not care a hoot about their men’s penis size?

When you ask women what they are looking for in a man and they will say things like sincerity, caring, kind, attentive to their needs, have a good sense of humor and so on and so forth. I have never heard any woman say her man must have a big manhood, have you? On the contrary, some women are known to be wary of men with bigger endowment for the fear that they may hurt the women.

So since it is very clear that most women do not care about penis sizes, then why are men still so concerned with it? Well, one of the thinking about this phenomenon is envy. Men are envious of other better endowed men. It is my own guess that in the world of consumerism, it is the more the better, the bigger the better mentality and this is the obsession that sprung the penis enhancement industry selling penis enlargement products, services and surgeries. I am sure you have received spam mails about these products and services regularly.

Some men are concerned about their small flaccid size. For the record, flaccid size has got nothing to do with erection size. Well, if you are one of them, do you know that it is possible to have a small flaccid penis but can have a gigantic erection. Most men do not know this, but in general, the smaller the flaccid penis, the more length and girth it can gain during an erection.

So, where do men get the impression that their penises are too small? The answer most sex experts can come up with is that men get the idea from pornographic movies. Former porn star, Richard Pacheco was known to have said, “The actors in porn movies are a self-selecting lot and only the guys with the biggest dicks turn up for casting auditions and of course the producers pick the guys who have the biggest tool.”

So the fact that straight men get to see erected penises close up is only their own or those of porn actors, and from there the comparisons are made. Unfortunately, porn actors’ penises have become the standard against which men judge themselves and how can that be a favorable comparison for most of us? No wonder men almost universally believe that they have inadequate sex tools.

I know, even after reading these facts, many of you will still think that your manhood could be bigger. Of course, after years of convincing yourself that you want a bigger penis, this mindset of concern is not going to change with just one article. If that is the case, then there are many ways to enlarge your manhood ranging from penile exercises, penis enlargement pills, pumps, surgeries and other methods.

The common misconception amongst older or more mature men is that younger women are afraid to have dates with them and so find older men unattractive. In fact the reverse may be true because there are many things girls admire and are impressed with more mature guys and what they can offer such as security, dependency, confidence, wisdom and maturity amongst many other attractive virtues. That is why most women ended up marrying guys of varying age gaps who are older than themselves.

Another reason why girls prefer older guys is that they mature faster then men and find older men more appealing than their younger counterparts because the latter still behave with the male bravado of their teens and can’t move away from their adolescence or so it seems. Therefore mature men may stand a better chance at attracting younger women if they know how and dare to do so.

If you can show that you have no hang ups with your age and are very comfortable about letting the girls know it, then you are portraying an image of a confident man which is a very attractive male persona as far as women are concerned. Whether true or not, in a woman’s psyche, older men are perceived to be more mature, more responsible and are better lovers.

Women love to have a great time. Who doesn’t? So if you show them that you can give them a great time and is fun to be with, then age is of no barrier because the ultimate aim is to have a good time and have fun. Of course if you behave like and grumpy and cranky old man, everyone will be running away from you, not just the girls. So show your fun side and make the girls laugh along with you and they will find you very sexually appealing.

Being a more mature man, you have seen the world and its idiosyncrasies more than the younger girls and are much wiser for that. However, everyone has different viewpoints, opinions and perceptions, so don’t act as if you know everything. Respect the views of the younger women. Hey, you were once young before and you know how it felt like when someone else older than you was showing off how much he/she knew, right? It was a real turn off, wasn’t it? So be a gentleman and younger women will find you much more impressive.

Since older men are probably more stable in their careers and are ahead in the work place and social hierarchy, women find that older men are able to give them more security than younger men can. These guys will somehow have a more powerful aura of male dominance and self confidence than their younger counterparts which are very attractive to women. These older men are rightly or wrongly perceived as being able to stand up for their women and women are always impressed by men who can offer them protection, shelter and security.

So if you are interested in dating women younger than you but were afraid to do so, don’t you think it is time to start now since you know now that you have as good a chance or even better odds than younger men in attracting women?
