Start with a personal assessment
Forty-five minutes with the surgeon who will operate
Every reversal starts with a consultation with Mr Krishnan himself. He takes a full history — when the vasectomy was done, your partner’s age and fertility, previous children — examines you, and explains honestly whether reversal is the right route for you.
No pressure, no sales call. If another option such as sperm retrieval with IVF is more sensible for your circumstances, he will say so.
Consultation £250, no GP referral needed
Usually seen within one to two weeks
Same consultant at every step

Is reversal right for you?
Five situations we talk through at your assessment
Reversal can work many years after a vasectomy, but the best choice depends on your circumstances. These are the conversations Mr Krishnan has most often.
A new relationship
The most common reason. Timing since vasectomy and your partner’s age shape the advice.
You changed your mind
Reversal restores the natural route; nothing else is needed if it succeeds.
Many years since the vasectomy
Still possible — the technique is adapted to what is found at surgery.
Your partner is over 35
We may discuss combining reversal with fertility advice so you do not lose time.
Post-vasectomy pain
In some men reversal relieves chronic pain after vasectomy.
Operated on by a consultant, every time
