Vasectomy is a birth control method in which all or part of a male's vas deferens are surgically removed, thus sterilizing the patient. Vasectomy should not be confused with castration: vasectomy does not involve removal of the testicles and it affects neither the production of male sex hormones (mainly testosterone) nor their secretion into the bloodstream. Therefore sexual desire (libido) and the ability to have an erection and an orgasm with an ejaculation are not usually affected. Because the sperm itself makes up a very small proportion of the ejaculate, vasectomy does not significantly affect the volume, appearance, texture or flavor of the ejaculate.
If you want to have children by reversal of vasectomy it is possible. Although men considering vasectomies should not think of them as reversible, and most men and their spouses are satisfied with the operation, there is a procedure to reverse vasectomies using vasovasostomy (a form of microsurgery). It is, however, not effective in all cases, with the success rate depending on such factors as the method used for the vasectomy and the length of time that has passed since the vasectomy was performed. There is evidence that men who have had a vasectomy produce abnormal sperm, which would explain why even a mechanically successful reversal does not always restore fertility.
I do not think insurance companies in any country pay for this. However you can enquire with your insurer. Further the cost for having vasectomy is very nominal and the govemenment in many countries arrange it free a measure of Population control.-

You can still get a girl pregnant if you are fixed. Rare. Like .4% is all. Ask your insurance company. Mine covered my tubal ligation.
