Can Vasectomy Be Reversed?
I had a vasectomy when I was 24 years old. I am now 50. I am married to another woman now and we would like to have a child together. The Doctor that did my vasectomy told me it was the non reversable kind meaning he tied a knot and used stiches not a clamp. Can this vasectomy be reversed? Do I still make sperm? Can this sperm be extracted and artifically implanted in my wife?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, a vasectomy cannot be reversed but still, you can make sperm and these sperms can be extracted and artificially implanted in your wife by the process of in vitro fertilization but as a regular intercourse you cannot implant those into your wife. So kindly consult with the infertility specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
