How many fricking threads about this will there be?

These threads usually come up between Christmas and New Years because deductibles have been met and there are bowl games to watch. The threads also pop up a lot during March Madness and the Masters.

You just have to know when to expect them.

Left nut swelled up quite a bit. Had to have fluid drained off it. Hurt like a mother fricker.

It’s common courtesy to show up to the procedure with a boner.

Following vasectomy, a small fraction of patients experience chronic pain. Post-vasectomy pain syndrome (PVPS) is widely known as either constant or intermittent testicular pain for greater than three months (4). This pain interferes with quality of life and requires some degree of medical treatment.

chronic testicular pain for greater than three months after the procedure. Post-vasectomy pain syndrome (PVPS) is diagnosis of exclusion, and may be caused by direct damage to spermatic cord structures, compression of nerves in the spermatic cord via inflammation, back pressure from epididymal congestion, and perineural fibrosis

Mine was 30 years ago, things may have changed. The procedure was easy and painless. Dr. told me to sit in warm salt water to dissolve the stitches. At the follow up he is doing the exam and without any conversation pulls out the non-dissolved stitches with tweezers. Damn near died.

Was put to sleep. Thank god cause the surgery nurse was a smoke show. Would’ve probably popped a woody no doubt if not sleeping.

Agreed. Had mine about 8 years ago. Whole procedure took about 10 minutes. Incision was so small that it didn’t require any stitches.

What this post said. Do absolutely nothing for a few days. Take an extra day of nothing just in case. You may feel like you can do things sooner than the doctor tells you, but do NOT. I made the mistake of walking my dog about a block 3 days later and regretted it. Felt like something was trying to pull my balls out for a week after that.

Also make sure you get at least two negative sperm checks done to make sure you are totally sterile. You are not in the clear immediately. My doctor told me I needed to ejaculate 15-20 times before getting to a zero count.

8 years later, no regrets.

Oh and don’t get put to sleep to do it. Take it like a man with a Valium and a local anesthetic.

Yea frick that. I got knocked out and I wouldn't have it any other way. The IV at the beginning was the worst part of the entire procedure, and that's only because I fricking hate needles. Pain was non existent after....I cut my grass and washed my car the next day since I was off work and bored. Wouldn't recommend that though....my sack swole up a good bit from being so active. Took it easy the next day and applied some ice and I was good to go.

I wonder if women lose a tiny amount of attraction to a sterile male--even if unconsciously.
