Vasectomy Reversal

I had to get a reversal myself after suffering a year of severe Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome following my vasectomy.

It is indeed £3000, and the NHS will refuse to pay for it into the bargain.

It fixed the most severe part of the problem but I still have some residual pain nearly 5 years on.

Here are some chronic pain rates at 1 year and 10 years in a British Journal of Urology paper.

13% + still had pain a decade after their vasectomy.
