Having a Vascectomy, what should I expect?

[Chris&Amelia]

After much discussion with Amelia, we decided that we do not want kids ever, and I went to get a Vasectomy yesterday.

I went to the Urologists clinic and met the the doctor, and we briefly discussed the procedure and the ramifications. He wanted to make sure that we knew what were getting into, and that we both were comfortable with the decision.

After that, I went into the procedure room and disrobed. Amelia waiting in the lounge. The doc came in and performed a no-scalpel vasectomy The actual procedure took about 10 minutes. I didn't feel a thing until the anesthetic they gave me wore off halfway on the drive home. Ever since then it's been a dull throb or pain, a lot like a mild case of "blue balls".

I woke up this morning and I was pretty swollen, but some Tylenol and a cold pack took care of that. Now I just gotta walk around with my package in an athletic supporter (it still hurts when they "bounce").

All in all, it wasn't as nearly as bad as I was led to believe.

When hubby was 27 (same age as I). We decided that we did not want kids. So he went in to the doctor and after a bit of discussion got a date to have the procedure done.

He had everything done (Cut, Separated, Clipped and Burned). flamethrow

After a few months, I got off the pill (and became a nicer person :evil: ) and we had great fun from then on.

But still he is covered outside of our personal time together. Can never be too safe.

Yeah, we discussed it, and we decided that we were just happy being DINKS (Double Income, No Kids).

I'm still a little sore, but I feel it most when I sit down or get up, or any other pressure is applied to my scrotum. But it's not that bad.

I had one also, It was different, now I like shooting blanks. The nurse was amazed that I got my count to zero so fast, we worked it a couple times every day. I still wear a jacket when not with safe friends, but bareback is great. It was funny after the procedure as I was getting ready to leave the room, the nurse said she would leave the room so I could get dressed, LOLOL I said why, you already watched me getting cut. Still 7 1/2 & working good

Damn... I just with Tubal Ligation were that easy and nearly painless.... I had a buttload of complications and woke up with a 9 inch PAINFUL, BRUISED incision instead of a small 1/4 laser cut... in bed (no walking because of the "complications") nearly 3 weeks... and PAIN worse than natural (oops, the painkillers wore off) childbirth!

Damn my ex-husband for being a total wuss... grrr. This just proves that if there is a god in this world, it MUST be a man!

OOPS... double post. Won't let me delete!

Its been 3 weeks since my Vasectomy, Im still in pain.

The cutting acually took only about 15 minutes but this was the worse 15 minutes of my life. I felt nothing until he pulled the cord attached to the balls. I still think the doctor messed up, but the pain was so strong I had passed out from the pain.


Good thing its a one time only thing, cause I would NEVER do it again!

That's odd. I've known a bunch of men that have had vasectomies, including my husband many years ago, and none have reported real pain 3 weeks later. You may want to obtain a second opinion. At this point, I don't think I would put it off if it is really pain and not just some very minor discomfort.

This is definitely not a good advert for the procedure. In fact, I still have my legs crossed!

(BTW, I'd seek some medical assistance - ideally from an alternative source to that which conducted your procedure - if you're still in pain nearly a month later)

Hmmm... that's not right. After a week, I felt absolutely fine. I got my procedure done on 11/21, and I don't feel any discomfort at all right now.

Also, the only pain I felt during the actual procedure itself was during the injection of the painkiller.

was anyone advised to carefully apply some cold packs for awhile after the surgery?,,,,,,,,,,,went to planned parenthood many moons ago for mine, back in the depression years

only problem I had was been one of eight done on a Friday kinda ASPCA style,,,,and being rushed

the cold packs would have helped,,,,,,,,,,but was not advised to do so,,,,,,,until it was too late,,,,,,was very swollen and painfull for about four days,,,,,,,,,but afterwards,,,,,,,things got back to normal pretty quickly

have never regreted shooting blanks since

That was a few moons ago during the middle ages. I really had no problem after I got to the icepack routine. I went back to work the next day and had no problems. (no I was NOT a desk joclkey either). The only lasting effect is that when viewed from the rear I now resemble a Great Dane. I was low before but I SWANG NOW.

I dropped off my first post-vasectomy sample, and I'm glad to say that my sperm count is zero!

I had my Vas over 20 years ago and I have never regretted it.
The pain was minamal and over in two days. The doctor who did mine told me that I would probably be hornier than before and would have no problem. He also said that some women lose interest afterward. The no excitment thing.
The thing I have never seen posted (which makes me wonder how many fake posts there are) is the wet dreams. The Testes are still making sperm but with the vas blocked there is no where for it to go. So the testes keep seending messages to the brain to flush the system. My wife and I could have wild orgasims and I would still have wet dreams. This lasted for years. I am 50 now and still very Horny. If you ask me it is the only way to go.

I had my vasectamy 19 yrs ago after our 2nd child. We are glad
I did. We used condoms for birth control up to that point.
As for the wet dreams, only time I had those was when I
stopped masturbating for a while as a teen. It is my
understanding that the wet dream is cause by a full gland
that holds the semen at the base of the penis and not from
the sperm in the testicles. But I could be wrong about that.
