Vasectomy....

[Withdean and I]

How did it go?

Recovery time? Any post op problems?

Straightforward? Any advice?

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Rough age and a few more details required,mainly why?

 

[El Presidente]

Local anaesthetic, drove home.

No post op problems, playing football within a couple of weeks.

 

[Hillian1]

Mate had it done, got an infection.

Nasty business.

 

[Rugrat]

All over in a jiffy, went for a road test within 6 hours

 

[Hampster Gull]

Mate said it was like having a sledge hammer hit his balls

 

[Beach Hut]

Fine for me although the surgeon said I had not "shaved" enough so some pre-op remedial work had to be done.

Strangely, during the op, the nurse I talking to was discussing kids !

 

[ShanklySeagull]

Completely painless - in and out with a local injection in 30 mins. Got the wife to drive me home but could easily have done so looking back in it. No after effects either. Not worth the worry in the build up!

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

4 replies so far, and a 50% risk of too much grief and pain for me to take personally,perhaps this should have had a poll and a health warning,not sure how the OP feels right now.

Straightforward ..much easier than childbirth! ...perhaps don't have it done on a Friday afternoon after they've been down the pub

This. Although had a bit of seepage for a couple of days and it feels strange having padding around your balls. Bruised a bit but it didn't hurt. Strangest feeling was having a man play with your balls.

100% of the problems have been reported by mates; 100% of the "no problems here" by the recipient himself. Aren't stats wonderful?!

Quite a few of us 'forty something's' think about this or go through with it at some point. Yet there isn't any honest open info forum I can find for advice or help from people who've been through it.
You never hear much about bad problems afterwards yet t'internet is full of bad experiences afterwards.

Had mine 30 years ago and everything still works!Surgeon let me watch the op in the theatre mirrors and talked me through it.Back to work next day,just a bit sore.If you go NHS,make sure the nurse warms the bricks up!

''Man play with your balls'' you sure that was part of the procedure

They are,and can be used in any way to glam up or down...... assuming we take the mates out of the equation,perhaps the op should be guided by those that have had the operation..still not for me tho

 

[Two Professors]

Oh,and avoid potholes on the way home.Two blokes had their's done at RAF Wegberg and had to go back and be re-stitched after their car hit a giant Belgian pothole!

Not sure this fella would agree...

And I thought it was elective surgery, I'd obviously got my "l" and "r".mixed up.

Are you sure that was a necessary part of the procedure?
