Following your vasectomy reversal, you will need to stay in bed for a couple of days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for around a month, but you should be able to return to work in a few days. Any dissolvable stitches should disappear within 7-10 days. Avoid ejaculation and sexual intercourse for 3-4 weeks, and wear close-fitting underwear to help support the scrotum. You will need to undergo some tests at various periods following the vasectomy reversal. This is to check on the progress of the sperm flow and success of the operation, which may not become apparent for up to a year or more. Please be aware that a vasectomy reversal is not always successful, and the shorter the period of time since your original vasectomy, the more likely it is of achieving successful results.
