How The Y Factor Can Help
We understand that life changes can drive a man to seek fertility after a vasectomy. There are several Fertility options for men after a vasectomy, but the two most common are a vasectomy reversal and a sperm retrieval for IVF. Both are surgical procedures and can be highly successful, depending upon each couple’s situation.
The Y Factor can provide a sperm retrieval for men wanting fertility after a vasectomy.

What to Know About Sperm Retrieval
The sperm extraction or sperm retrieval is a shorter surgical procedure with a shorter recovery time with higher success rates of achieving good quality sperm for in vitro fertilization. This is a much more controlled procedure than a natural conception and has several very measurable endpoints to track success.
Because this procedure often results in abundant sperm and embryo formation, this procedure is ideal for couples who want one child or multiple children. Furthermore, this procedure usually results in only a single operation being performed on the man.
What to Know About a Vasectomy Reversal
A vasectomy reversal is a surgical procedure that returns the sperm to the ejaculate. This is a more prolonged surgery, with a longer recovery, and can result in a prolonged period of time to achieve pregnancy. This would not be the approach of choice for couples who want to get pregnant and start a family within a definite time frame.
That’s why, Dr. Russel Williams recommends men get a sperm retrieval for IVF.
