- Male InfertilityIf you or your partner suspects that male infertility is the problem, you should know that men are just as likely to be infertile as women in are. One third of infertility cases are traced to male reproductive issues, one third to female reproductive issues, with the last third due to reproductive issues for both partners or unknown causes.

- Urinary IncontinenceOne of the drawbacks of the in vitro fertilization process (VF) is that it often results in multiple births, such as twins, occasionally triplets or more. A vasectomy reversal increases the chance of a successful pregnancy while minimizing the risk of a multiple-birth situation which many couples may not be prepared to deal with. Twins results in lower birth weight babies and a higher chance of premature babies. Triplets can be a very high-risk pregnancy. Also the added stress on the womans pelvis can increase her risk of urinary incontinence and prolapse. The hormone injections which a woman must take contain a level of discomfort and risk as well. In addition, the IVF procedure is a much costlier undertaking. Nonetheless, in vitro fertility treatments are required for some couples due to other fertility obstacles they may have and it are a viable option for those couples who choose them. Most top level vasectomy reversal surgeons usually work with top in vitro fertility doctors to perform sperm retrieval surgery on the men in couples who prefer this approach. Sperm can be retrieved surgically from the testicle and used for in vitro fertility treatments, but it cannot be used for intra-uterine insemination—only ejaculated sperm can be used for intra-uterine insemination.
- Female InfertilityA man may be fertile earlier in his life and have children easily but, following his vasectomy an underlying or newly developed male infertility factor may reduce his sperm production leading to a poorer than expected result with a vasectomy reversal. Testosterone supplementation, which is widely prescribed, often shuts down sperm production, but this can be reversed. Previous chemotherapy may impair fertility, as well as the presence of varicose veins known as varicoceles. Some medications have a negative impact on sperm production over time. In a few cases, a man may in fact require a sperm retrieval procedure and In Vitro fertility if his sperm production is too low for natural conception or if his partner has female infertility factors that require reproductive assistance. Vasectomy Reversal USA works closely with all the In Vitro fertility clinics in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, CA to coordinate care when necessary.
