re: Vasectomy recovery

I think it depends on the person and the procedure you have. Me and a coworker got it done around the same time, he had the no scalpel procedure and I had the traditional procedure. His recovery time was significantly shorter than mine, mine was over a week. Some of that could have been my fault. I thought I could go with just tight boxer briefs around the house and be fine. I felt like my insides moved every time I went to get up out of bed to use the bathroom or whatever. Weird sensation for sure. Then I got the jock strap and it was much better. I had pain for about a week but his didn’t last more than a couple of days and he looked at me crazy when I described what I was feeling. My doctor definitely cut more of my Vas out than his did, during the procedure the doctor held up what I swear was a 2” long piece of it and smiled and said “this is how much I’m taking out”. Lol. It wasn’t funny at the time. I didn’t lift weights until I was pain free. And when I started hitting the gym again I wore the jock strap for a week or so.
