Having a Vascectomy, what should I expect?

Nardozzi · 01-05-2006, 01:10 PM

I am having a Vasectomy performed on Monday. What should I expect?? I just had a hernia repaired a week ago and by the third day my balls felt like someone was kicking them non-stop. I guess this is my 40 year old tune up begin performed....

ANGEDKY(mr) · 01-05-2006, 02:11 PM

please post your experience when its all thru, i really need to go thru with it as well, but just the thought makes my stomach churn and i get all sweaty.......

WildMiCouple · 01-05-2006, 03:36 PM

I never had any problems with mine. Stopped on the way home (Tammy driving) and had some drinks at a TGIF. Then picked up a 6 pack on the way home and kept the one I was drinking resting between my legs, kinda icing it down

Had it done on a friday and was back to work on monday. Just kinda lounged around on saturday and was back to having sex on sunday

Funny side note......You have to drop off a sample of seamen to a lab to confirm the V was successful and your are sterile. After the required 10 orgasms, we put the next one in a little sample container that looked like a clear pill bottle with a pre-done label with my info on it. Tammy puts it in a brown paper lunch baggy and goes to the clinic. All she wants to do is drop it off and leave. There happened to be a full waiting room. She walks up to the desk and whispers "I'm dropping off this sample to be tested". The girl then says, rather loudly, "well, lets make sure you've got enough in here" and proceeds to pull it out of the baggy. She then holds it up towards the light and shakes it......while everyone in the waiting room is listening and watching.....and proclaims "oh yes, there is plenty there"

Tammy about ran out of the room turning 3 shades of red

I'll post some links, but you may not want to read them

Vasectomy experience runs the spectrum from "no big deal" to "weeping and the gnashing of teeth".

Generally, though, the "no big deal" guys win out...

I had one done a couple of years ago. Other than about a day of discomfort, not a big deal at all.

twoferfun69 · 01-05-2006, 09:22 PM

I would fall under the catagory of no big deal. I had mine done almost 12 years ago, never once a problem.
The most un-nerving issue to me at the time was when the doc grabbed the head of my unit, yanked it up and taped it to my belly.
Now, having said that, there was one problem that really had nothing to do with the vasectomy itself. Had the procedure done on thursday afternoon, left for TN friday morning, but got stuck in traffic on highway, turning a 4 hour trip into a 7 hour trip. Got to the destination, was uncomfortable, checked things out, and I had popped the stitch. Now, everything was ok, but it just freaked me out a bit.
Bottom line is, absolutely, positively without question, do EXACTLY what the doc says. Don't try to do any physical activity, just relax, put the ice bag on the bag, and keep still for a while. You'll do just fine. It's those guys that try to go out and play golf, work, etc. etc. that have all sorts of problems.
Sex was a whole lot better after everything healed up....... no preg worries

Anyway, as I said, you'll be fine. It is really so much better and easier for us to do it than the women. Lot less complications, relative pain, and hell, just easier all the way around. Not to mention the fun of making sure you get thru the required # of ejaculations to "clear the pipes"

Paphian · 01-06-2006, 01:25 AM

Like a number of folks have already said: no big deal. Do what the doc reccommends and it goes just fine. Afterwords, you get to be the "sport model"--all play, no pay

.

The actual procedure is a bit disconcerting for lots of people, though. Shave the area the morning of the procedure (much better to do it oneself--or have your S.O. do it!). Feet up in stirrups (you'll then understand why women complain about that) Tape the working tackle outta the way, snip, pull a small section of vas through the tiny incision, snip again and tie-off (some--all?--urologists also use cautery), repeat for other ball. A couple of small stitches and you're good to go. Then ice and take it easy.

In my experience with various friends, it was the lead-up that was more problem than the actual vasectomy. Some guys are such big babies about that sort of thing.

Sweet_Candy · 01-06-2006, 07:33 AM

Had the procedure 4 yrs ago and it was relatively painless. Like others suggested follow post op instructions and you should be fine. Then welcome to the elite group of "No pay to play"

Hapycmpr · 01-09-2006, 09:21 PM

Had mine done 3 years ago. It was a (at that time) new procedure called the scalpel-less procedure. Only one small cut done in the center of the sack with a pair of pointed forceps...pull the vas out from the left, clamp, cut, burn the ends...repeat for the right side. The worst part was getting the shot to numb the area. Doc said that I'd feel a "little prick." I said..."no Doc, you've got that backwards!"

They say to ice the area if it hurts...I had no real discomfort at first. But if you don't take any one elses advice on anything else...heed this....WEAR AN ATHLETIC SUPORTER FOR AT LEAST 2 DAYS AFTERWARDS. When the pain started on the second day, I put on the jock and it went away.

I had to "flush the pipes" with 12 ejaculations and bring #13 in to be tested. Got the procedure done on a Wednesday after work. Took it for a test drive Friday night just to make sure everything still worked, and then spend the weekend at an on premisis club....took #13 in on Monday am.

plainspeople · 01-10-2006, 11:22 AM

Invest in several bags of frozen peas.....they work a heck of a lot better than plain icebags. Do what your physician tells you, stay on top of your pain with pain medication if you need it, and all should go well.

Would do it all over again if I had to, thankfully it is a one time deal.

Nardozzi · 01-10-2006, 12:25 PM

Well it is the day after and everything went fine. No major pain or discomfort. I have already checked the patient and he is still operating as expected. My Doc is making me have 30 orgasims before I am tested, then 30 more for a second test before I can go without any birth control !! I guess better safe than sorry. Only 59 and counting !

WesternSwing · 01-10-2006, 12:31 PM

Good to hear. I was going to get a vasectomy about 2 years ago, but didn't. Had the appointment made and everything. The reason I was going to get the vasectomy was so Mrs. WS could go off of birth control, but when we started swinging it was decided she'd stay on it just in case of a condom accident, so a vasectomy was then a moot point. So, since we both had the day off of work we shacked-up in a local motel and had sex all day.

But, it has come up again and I think I'll do it this year. So it's good hear it was "no big deal".

Just curious, but wouldn't swinging be an even stronger reason to go through with the vasectomy? I mean, you can't assume that every woman you are with is on birth control or has been surgically sterilized, and condom accidents occur from both sides, do they not?

I wish my husband would get a vasectomy ... I am surgically sterilized, but I always worry about him. He has proved to be quite fertile in the past (had five kids with previous wife), and there is always that chance at a mishap.

You are right, they do. We have played with two couples where the woman was not on birth control, one was Catholic and didn't believe in it (in the lifestyle, go figure) and the other has never gotten pregnant outside of artificial means. But being the only two couples we've ever played with without condoms this was an issue. With the first couple I could not play with her without a condom, but I was okay with her husband and Mrs. WS. Maybe it was our little gift to him as a good friend. The second couple we have decided to only play with with condoms from now on, because even though ithey have been having sex without birth control for eleven years, there is always the chance.

My friend's husband got a Vas and the doctor even gave him some temporary tattoos that were of a purple V - hahaha.
