Q14. What is the recovery time after a vasectomy reversal?

A14. Everyone recovers at different rates and some men do recover quicker than others. You can expect to be bruised and sore for the first few days after surgery and it will probably be a week before you are recovered and ready to go back to work. It may be a month before you are said to be completely recovered from your surgery. Find out more in our after your vasectomy reversal section.
