It is not unusual to see men having second thoughts about a vasectomy surgery that they got done years ago. After all circumstances both financial and personal keep changing from time to time and these changes can make you rethink your decision of not fathering children in future. Almost 25,000 men decide to go in for vasectomy reversal each year so that they can start a family again. If you are also considering a vasectomy reversal, you need to understand that the reversal procedure is more complex than the initial surgery. Also, there is not telling if it will work and turn out to be a success. If this has got you wondering about the success rate of vasectomy reversal procedures; here is a look at your chances of becoming a father again ad the factors that may ruin your chances:

Even though the success rate of a vasectomy reversal is very high; there are several factors that will influence the outcome of such a procedure. One of the primary things the doctor will consider when analyzing the feasibility of vasectomy reversal for your specific scenario will be the number of year since the initial vasectomy procedure. If a decade or more has gone by since the original surgery, the chances of success even with a vasectomy reversal procedure will be limited. At best you stand 30% chances of regaining your fertility because several complications come into play when there is a big gap between the initial procedure and the intended vasectomy reversal surgery.

There have been cases in which vasectomies that were older than 25 years were reversed successfully but these are few and far between. The number of years that have passed since the original operation are inversely proportional to the success rate of a vasectomy reversal. There are two different procedures that are used o reverse a vasectomy; the first is vasovasotomy which is used in people who have had the initial procedure within three years of the intended surgery. This procedure involves joining the severed ends of the tube called vas deferens with thin sutures.

However; there may be scarring tissue and blockages in people who have had the initial vasectomy procedure ten or more years before the intended reversal surgery. In this case the doctor may have to use another procedure known as the vasoepididymostomy where the vas deferens tube is joined directly to the epididymis. Both procedures are performed with the goal to remove or bypass the obstructions created by the vasectomy procedure and to regain fertility.

Another factor that will also have a bearing on the success rate of a vasectomy reversal procedure is the expertise and competence of the surgeon. Since a vasectomy reversal is by no means an inexpensive procedure, you need to ensure that the doctor who works on your case has the necessary experience and a good success rate with his/her prior clients. Talk to the doctor about the procedure, the possible risks and complications and the expected success rate.

Once you have made a decision about getting the procedure done, talk to the surgeon about what you need to do before the actual surgery. Many clinics will ask you to shave the genital area before the surgery while others will ask you to use certain types of underwear or clothing after the procedure. After the surgery, you will also be given instruction about the post surgery care and about the painkillers that can be used to alleviate discomfort.

If the vasectomy reversal procedure has worked out as planned, sperms will reappear in the seen in a few months; your surgeon will ask you to conduct a sperm reversal after the procedure to analyze if the surgery was successful. Pregnancy usually appears 12 to 18 months after the surgery depending on the health and count of the sperms and the fertility of your partner. If the first attempt at reversing the vasectomy has been unsuccessful, you can consider a second procedure or invitro fertilization to father a child biologically.

Think boot camp and the mind conjures up rigorous workouts and circuit training to keep the body fit. It is the best way to spend an exhilarating and fun day in the open as well as enjoy a tremendous workout. The focus of each of the camps could be different but they all adopt high-impact fitness routines or training that will push you beyond your known physical limits. Most of them adopt a method called as circuit training, where there are no rest breaks at all, between the fast paced exercises. Therefore there are endless variations of training and exercises which help in the strengthening of the legs.

Box Jumps: This is a very flexible but highly entertaining boot camp exercise to work those calf muscles. You should choose a fairly wide box or a wide wooden bench of about a foot and half in height and of reasonable strength that will hold your weight if you were to jump on it. Next prepare to jump onto the box or the bench with both your legs at the same time. Begin with coming into a squatting position at about half a feet away from the box. Then in one movement jump on the box or bench and immediately jump down again with both the legs together. This is much like jumping the rope but at a slightly higher position and it will have to be done very fast. Continue to do this until you tire.

Burpees: This is another interesting combination of boot camp exercises consisting of squats and push-ups. This will help in the overall toning and maintaining the cardiovascular rate. First begin by standing with your feet apart. Then squat and place your hands down on the ground like when you do a push up. Complete one set of push-up and then do the most exciting part of this exercise. Start with kicking the feet backwards up to into the air, stretch your body explosively, simultaneously clapping overhead. You could repeat it until you are exhausted.

Power lunges: This is a very quick and fast paced exercise and will help you strengthen your muscles as well as become more agile. Keep the front knee at a right angle and stretch the other leg. Then in one swift movement simultaneously jump and switch legs coming into the lunging position as quickly as possible. This exercise will tone these calf muscles. Continue to do this until your legs begin to ache.

Y-squat: This boot camp exercise will focus on strengthening the hamstrings and the quads. Stand in a relaxed position with your feet apart. Then spread your hands in front in a Y-shape. Then begin the squatting exercise, keeping the hands in the same position and widening the knee transferring the weight to the heels.

Therefore boot camp exercising is the sure shot way not only to strengthen your calf muscles but also to have some fun and exhilaration doing them.

I have been writing articles taking the readers through different phases of the South Beach Diet. I started with an over view of the program, then South Beach Phase one , Phase Two, now the final phase, South Beach Phase Three.

Well congratulations! Because you are here that means you lost 8 to 12 lbs. In phase 1, you continued to lose weight slower in phase 2, your clothes are looser and you are noticeably thinner and you have achieved your target weight.

What’s next? Phase 3! This phase of the program lasts for the rest of your life. You now have the knowledge to make the right choices of the food you eat. The program now should feel more like a life style than a diet. You can eat normal foods in normal portions. If you find the weight creeping back up just start phase over again. It is that simple.
There is not much more to say about phase 3 so I would just like to pass on some tips that Dr Agatston recommends once you are in phase three.

Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast! He says that studies show that when you eat regular meals you stabilize your blood sugar and experience fewer cravings during the day. Should you experience cravings later in the afternoon just have a snack of low fat cheese, nuts or vegetables around mid afternoon. This will eliminate the cravings and bide you over until supper.

Make sure you get lots of fibre from the foods you eat. He suggests that we don’t consume enough fibre in our diets. Fibre comes from good carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. He says that studies show that when you consume lots of fibre you have better weight loss and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Remember when shopping for bread or cereal that you read the label and make sure that the first ingredient is 100% whole grain or whole grain.

Don’t leave out good fats in your diet. These fats are actually good for your health. Good fats include olive and canola oils, omega 3 fish oil found in deep water fish as well as walnuts and green leafy vegetables. He also recommends an Omega 3 supplement if you don’t eat fish 3 times a week.

It’s all right if you have a bad day. He says a healthy diet is a lifestyle that means that it is marathon not a sprint. Every one falls off the wagon from time to time. If you do get back on! Living a healthy life style means making good choices most of the time not all of the time.

Exercise regularly. Those who exercise regularly tend to keep the weight off over time compared to those who don’t have an exercise regime. Exercise helps you feel better, prevents heart and other disease, and helps you live longer.
Remember to practice everything you learned though out the program. I commend you for taking charge and making a change in your lifestyle and the way you think.
