Baws, I've procreated enough at this point in my life and the wife and I feel complete. Time for a vasectomy now.

For those who have had one, which kind of vasectomy did you have? I understand there are two types - one where they do a bit more cutting than the other, which is supposedly less invasive. My understanding is that the one marketed as "non-invasive" is still invasive though, since they still have to cut on the scrotum at least to some extent. I'm leaning toward the non-invasive one.

I thought I would go to youtube to see how it's done but all I could find was the kind that they do more cutting and "snipping". Watching that video was a mistake.

I'm terrified now. No way that doesn't hurt. I'm going to set an appointment with a doctor soon but until then, what can you tell me about vasectomies?

Thank you for not procreating anymore.

I've always assumed they would have to go inside my scrotum no matter the options.

I just had my girlfriend get drunk and squeeze and pull my boys until they were no longer operational

I did the non-invasive. I had some discomfort for about a week but I was out and about within 12 hours.

You know that feeling in your lower stomach you get when you get kicked in the balls? Not the absolute pain, but that uneasy tightening you get that lets you know it's about to hurt?

That feeling is non stop the first 24 hours. You'll be sore another day or two, and those nuts are going to swell up about 50% as your scrotum turns purple.

3 days after the procedure, you're back to 75%.

Can't be worse than testicular torsion surgery.

Jockstraps and ice for a few days afterwards.

I didn't realize there were two types. I don't know which one I had. It wasn't all that bad. A little discomfort when they shot my junk up with lidocaine or whatever they used, and some moderate pain/discomfort the next day or two.

Mine hurt. In fact, there ended up being a bit of infection. I mean, there was soreness afterwards then it started to ache. Had I not had surgery recently enough, it was the type of pain that otherwise would have sent me to the ER because I'd have sworn I had some kind of terminal testicular cancer.

Once it cleared up and stopped hurting, everything was fine. As bad as it hurt at the time, I never think about it anymore. Can't say that with other pains I've had.

Plus, the upside is pretty sweet...

It's no big deal. If you don't already shave your nuts. Make sure those plums are clean & hairless when you go in or you will have a stranger shaving your beanbag.

Fairly small cut on the junk didn't hurt. When they numb your pipes you feel a pretty sharp pain, almost like a small shock but it is over in a split second.

Wear the goofy looking jock strap, use ice. Act pitiful for several days. The guy here that did them would only do them on Thursdays and tell you to sit on your arse until Monday. I went back to work on a Monday in my regular drawers and started hurting, went home and put on a jock strap and wore it for a few more days, no big deal.

Im honestly not sure which I had. It wasnt bad. Ive had more discomfort getting a cavity filled. Sent the kids off for the weekend and I sat around, drank beer, and watched golf.

Did it on a Thursday, went back to work on Monday. If you walk a "normal" amount (We went to an engagement party the Sat. night) I could feel my boys swelling a little. One full week after I ran a mile just to test it, had a little swelling. Waited another few days and ran 3 with no issues.

It wasnt bad at all. Cheaper and easier than your wife having surgery. Go home and sit. Dont do any stupid stuff like bike riding or mower riding. Doc told me some guy went horse riding and was back in on Monday to have stuff fixed.

ETA: Nair your balls. buddy of mine didnt shave well enough and they dry shaved him right then. I brought a jock strap to wear but had more discomfort from it so I wore boxer briefs

You are over thinking this. Go to a urologist and see what he has experience in. Do that. Best decision I have made is having a vas.

No pain or problems, and I always wanted to sing falsetto, anyway.

I’m unaltered and plan to remain that way. If we’re ever enslaved I’ll be worth more to our masters.

Just PIIHB or PIIHM. Problem solved.

Have 2 small incisions.

They don’t have to pull as hard.

My friend is a doctor and he calls them “gasexomies” because normal dudes get them because their wife tells them to and a few months later they’re getting arrested at the glory hole at the public park

Pretty sure taking care of and raising another kid would hurt a whole lot more. Lol

Mine was straight out of a horror movie.. The doctor hit some vein that caused it to bleed internally after he stitched me up. On the drive home my nuts swelled up to the size of a volleyball and painfully stayed that way for a month until the blood clot slowly went away. The pain was so bad, I ended up in the ER a week after getting IV pain medication. I had to sit 2-3 times a day in a hot bath just to get some relief.. Walking was out of the question.
