Twenty Percent of Men Regret having a Vasectomy, Why?

Around 20% of men report regretting their vasectomy, often due to changes in life circumstances or personal feelings after the procedure. Many men seek vasectomy as a permanent form of contraception, but some may later experience regret if they decide they want more children due to a new relationship, changes in family dynamics, or simply a shift in perspective. Psychological factors, such as a sense of lost fertility, can also contribute to regret. While vasectomy is intended to be permanent, the possibility of reversal or assisted reproductive options like IVF exists, though success is not guaranteed. Thorough pre-procedure counseling is essential to minimize regret by ensuring men are fully informed about the long-term implications. *The information provided on the site is for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice.

the urologist flipped one side of the vas deferens during the vasectomy. I think that's where a lot of my pain came from.

My libido is only half what it was after my vasectomy. I don't have morning erections anymore. If I come two or three days in a row I get pain in my epididymis at night. When I work I feel muscle spasms in my groin all the time. Actually I only feel good when I'm lying on the couch. Vasectomy has made me feel 10 years older in one year. Beware of this procedure. The outcome depends on the individual, some men react very badly to it. And i think the more sexually active you were before, the worse the backlash is. For me it was the worst decision of my life.

1/20 get it reversed. That’s a massive amount. And 1/5 regret it. I wish I was told that before getting done,
