Are you stressing over semen analysis results after your vasectomy reversal? Wondering if the reversal actually worked or feeling stuck without clear answers?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by confusing lab results, frustrated by lack of post-reversal guidance, or questioning whether you're doing everything right to boost sperm health, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. James Smith, Professor of Urology at UCSF and Chief Medical Officer at Fellow Health, who has dedicated his career to helping men improve fertility outcomes and navigate the complex world of post-reversal care. Dr. Smith breaks down why semen analysis is crucial after a vasectomy reversal, what makes a high-quality analysis (and how many labs get it wrong), and what couples can do to naturally improve sperm health.
We talk about why so many couples are pushed towards IVF or IUI too soon, the simple lifestyle changes that can make a big impact on sperm quality, and how inaccurate semen analyses can give you false hope—or worse, leave you feeling hopeless. Plus, Dr. Smith shares why at-home semen analysis through Fellow Health is changing the game for post-reversal couples, offering accurate, lab-grade results without the awkward clinic visits.
If you’ve ever wondered:
❓ “Is the reversal actually working?”
❓ “Can we avoid costly fertility treatments?”
❓ “Are we missing something simple that could improve our chances?”
This episode is packed with answers, expert advice, and hope for the next steps in your fertility journey.
