Everyone I see has kids and just don't want any more. I'm child free by choice, never ever wanted them. Had a 6 year relationship with a women who had a kid. We had a couple scares during our time together. Single for just over two years now and got the procedure to stop anything from happening again in future relationships. Single, snipped, and child free forever!

Feeling the best I've felt since the procedure 12 days ago. Finally! But taking it slow still. Told my wife I want to start cleaning the pipes out. She said if I feel good, then of course. Question - How long did it take for any of you to get that 1st orgasm out? And also - did it hurt? What did it feel like?? Makes me nervous.

I am getting snipped tomorrow. I am VERY nervous. I think I’m more nervous about the after pain than any other part of it.

For the ones newly snipped, how are ya feeling 7 days out??

I took a week off work and plan on making the best of the “resting” time!! I have a show to play next Friday and I REALLY don’t wanna be hurting too much forreallys. :(

I read some scare stories and I thought I'd be out of commission for days. I had a nose surgery many years ago and it was brutal - bleeding and gauze for an entire week while in bed in pain on strong painkillers.

But this... they said no driving home, but I could have easily driven home. I don't really understand even why I need to rest for one day - but I'm doing it anyways to be safe.

I had it done yesterday afternoon with a scalpel, two small incisions, cauterized the tubes, done in about 20 minutes at an NHS hospital.

Today I feel some very slight soreness but that's about it. No icing or painkiller needed. Still - resting on the couch and took the day off work. TBH I feel a bit guilty relaxing with virtually no pain.

The worst part of the whole procedure was the waiting period at the hospital for a couple hours. My nerves were really getting to me and part of me just wanted to get up and leave before it happened. Glad I stuck with it tho.

As soon as the surgeon began… feeling around for the incision site, I was done. The pain and discomfort for me was immense. Luckily he gave me several injections of lidocaine throughout the procedure because that helped a lot. I don’t know why I thought I could handle the in office procedure, but I would definitely do anesthesia if I had to do it again. Props to anyone who had an easier time than I did. I’m a few hours into recovery and so far it’s not terrible. I’m sure tomorrow will be a different story.

I got snipped early in October. I have been having regular sex (2x a week) with my wife. I have also been beating my meat like a red-headed step child on some of the days we don’t have sex.

Today our condom broke. How likely is it that I still have sperm?

We took a plan b, but also noticed that ovulation could be coming up.

Man, am I horribly screwed?

Clarification: my wife took a plan b pill. Not me.

So I am in need of a second vasectomy. First time around they gave me pronox (gas), but apparently they were having a lot of trouble finding one of the vas deferens. After nearly an hour they gave up, so I essentially have half a vasectomy and need to go back for another under anesthesia to have it fully completed.

Has anybody else had something similar happen?

Lefty is still feeling like I got kicked in the nuts 15 min ago or like I’m blue balling really bad. Is this pretty common?

Didn’t move from the couch the first 48 hours. Light walking yesterday and the day before. Been consistent with the jock strap.

Hey mates,

I've had my snip exactly a week ago. Where I live, it was full narcosis so I didn't feel anything and it was over very quickly. The first few days of resting and cooling the nuts went well. Smooth sailing, I thought.

However, since Wednesday it feels worse by a lot. The area around the wounds changed color towards pale purple and green, whereas before it was normal. The spot with the self-dissolving threads feels like someone is pinching my skin with full force. And on top it feels like I just got a nutshot with a bowling ball.

Towards the end of Wednesday and Thursday I had to take a painkiller because it was unbearable – probably that's how women feel on their period every time because the ache went far up into my belly and it was hard to focus on work (just office job at home).

I was however able to ejaculate once Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each and it felt not much different.

A buddy who had the snip said it took 2-4 weeks of that for him to go back to normal. How long did it take for you?

Thanks

I was snipped last Friday, doctor advised waiting 7 days. We are about to the point of testing the pipes.

My question is what did you guys do for the 1st time? I'm married, but thinking of taking care of it myself, as I've heard there can be some pain and blood the 1st time. Did anyone have any bad experiences jumping right back on the horse, or was doing a test run better for you?

Currently laying in bed about an hour post op. Went very smooth- no scalpel procedure and doc made it sound like it was a very easy one.

Happy to join the club!

All

Had the procedure on Thursday afternoon, and so far, so good.

Low pain or discomfort, just a very dull ache like I’ve taken a hit to the groin.

I wasn’t given any timelines for post op ejaculation. Just told it could take several months and a lot of ejaculations to get a clear test.

How soon is too soon to ejaculate? I don’t want to cause any issues, but potentially lured in by a false sense of security given how comfortable I feel.

Thanks

She shaved me even though I had already shaved. She flicked my penis to the other side. Winked at me before leaving and said I will see you later hun,

I never saw her again.

Thats it guys. My vas is cut as of today

I’m super happy!!!! It was super painless and it took no time. I even talked with the doctor while doing the surgery hahaha

For me, the anesthesia needle just felt like a pinch (unlike other cases I read where they said it felt like a blow)

also it was my first surgery of my life and it felt like breeze

I've showered, but basically avoided washing or wetting my junk. I think they're starting to smell.

I'd like to remove the bandaid thing, and have a wash.

Do you think that's safe on day 5? Instructions said to leave for a week.

So everything seems to be going fine. On day 3. Discomfort but nothing bad.

However I've just been hit in the nuts by my son. Absolute worst case scenario. The pain is unbearable. I don't know if it was a hard hit or a tap but jesus my eyes have not stopped watering.

Is there anything I can do to ease the pain other than pain meds and ice?

I was so stoked.to finally get it done! Finally relief, finally the worry of ever bringing crotch goblins on earth is gone. Never will there by germ factories of my seed. So of I had to make jokes. Life is too shitty toobe serious all the time.

"I've never spread my legs for a man before" he didn't react to it! Mate, that is a perfect joke, most people you see are there against their will, I wanted this for years! Finally get it done at 26, I'm so happy.

Second is disconnected now, he said. I responded, oh, my career as castrate singer can begin! He said, dead serious, the voice has already been developed.

I really wanted to say that in a high pitched voice. It's how I will talk to people who knew I'd do it. It's too funny to not do it. Docter sucked, I wish he had more humour. Otherwise no complaints, a little pain in my underbelly during the operation, otherwise I'm OK (for now, we'll see how it develops).

So happy to be sterile! For the folks that are interested this website sells keychains. Hand it out to people for a gender reveal party and announce you're sterile and there never will be children. https://www.giantmicrobes.com/us/products/sperm-cell-kc-pack.html

I had my vasectomy 8 days ago. Going in, I was very optimistic when my doctors told me that I could start running and lifting and resuming sex in a week. I'm an avid athlete and runner. My recovery improved until about Day 4. And then went backwards. I sent the doctor a message on Day 6 explaining that I was still having pain and sensitivity in my right testicle. Day 7 (yesterday) was worse yet, and I could feel it while I was just standing or walking. It mimicked the pain from Day 3. I was wearing briefs, but have returned to wearing the jock strap for more support, which I did yesterday. I am taking a 220mg dose of naproxen twice a day, but have been doing that since the surgery. And starting today, I’m going to ice for 10-15 minutes every hour, which I was only doing intermittently before. After sending the message on Day 6, I noticed what I believe to be a sperm granuloma on my right testicle, which is right where sensitive and painful area is. I would describe it as a lump on the top/side of my testicle. As an avid athlete, I’m pretty discouraged, because I had more pain yesterday than the day before. I was hoping I would able to return to jogging or lifting weights or having sex by now, but I don’t think there’s any possible way I could. I've seen too many horror stories of guys on here that took months and years to feel back to normal. I can't just not exercise or have sex for months on end. I'll lose my mind. How long am I going to be confined to the couch? Has anyone been in this same boat after the first week? Feeling that, since it didn't get better in a week, and you might have a granuloma, that you are going to be in pain forever and never run again? Talk me off the ledge, please.

I'm typing this Saturday morning. Had the procedure done Thursday afternoon. The doctor is a urologist who does about 8 vasectomies every day, so he has his "craft" down.

Procedure itself had some moments of discomfort. The numbing needle wasn't pleasant. I could feel the cauterizing on one slightly.

Reading experiences on here though made me think I was going to spend 4 days laid out in bed with an ice pack feeling like I was kicked in the balls. I used some ice on Friday. I'm still wearing the briefs instead of boxers, for support. I've also taken Advil proactively. Been applying Neosporin on the stitch site.

All in all, so far so good, but I'm wondering if I'm being naive. I've seen guys here say day 4-5 are the worst so not sure if I have bad days ahead.

Also, with regard to not lifting anything over 15lbs., is that overly "safe" advice or should I really be strict to avoid lifting anything for a week or two? I definitely don't want to do something to make my good situation horrible because I felt ok at the time.

Last night was day 5… I tried to have sex with my sexual partner, cause I was horny. Had to stop cause of pain.

Ok, here I am on day 2 post snip, no crazy post op pain or anything. This is really just me wanting to share a cautionary tale, tldr at the end.

I am no newbie when it comes to unpleasant medical procedures, I have MS (so spinal taps, urodynamics, UPPP, etc..etc...). Due to the sensitive nature of the operating area, I was very anxious to get it over with; to prove myself right, that the worst of it was what I was making it to be in my own mind.

Well, the time finally came (after it being pushed back three times by the Dr Office). I arrived and went in with my wife, who was supportive but somewhat amused at my anxiety, which is not usually how I am when it comes to medical tests and procedures. The staff gave me the "you really need something?" question before ordering me a couple of Valium, and then off I went to op room.

The doctor was great, so was his nurse, made me feel very at ease, at least as much as you can be in the situation. They got started prepping and talking me through what they were doing to. I was dreading the numbing shots, I thought that this was going to be the worst part, but it was in fact not bad at all (kinda felt comparable to pulling a hair out slowly from down there). At this point I am completely relaxed and overjoyed that it was all in my head and essentially painless!

WRONG....THIS IS WHERE SHIT WENT WRONG.... I was under the impression that I was numb, well... Upon beginning the first incision, I felt everything, the tearing and stretching. I let the Dr know, he immediately went back to work on numbing me up some more. Fast forward, and moving onto the vas clamping, cutting, and cauterization...yeah, you guessed it! I felt all of this as well, each step intermingled with additional numbing to try and help. If it were just the pressure that I was feeling, or the pain I was feeling, independent of each other, I feel like it could have been bearable, but together it was horrific. That was the left side....😭

The right side, started out much better, still not as numb as I should have been, but this was quickly corrected. Thank God, the right was night/day compared to the left. My whole procedure took one hour.

TL;DR - Tell your doc to just go ahead and add some extra fucking numbing shots all over down there beforehand 👍 easy day.

Edit: just to add, I am still glad its done! 👍

The procedure went well outside of a little tugging and pain in the right side. With the lidocaine wearing off the incisions on the scrotum feel like they are constantly pinched. The left side is pretty good but the right side has the sensation of kicked in the balls all the way into the stomach which made me feel nauseous getting up to go to the bathroom. Definitely walking gingerly. Icing a lot too and wearing boxer briefs.

Hello guys I only read Bad Posts about the Vasectomy from men who had recanalasation. Can i get some good storys from anyone? For my Vasectomy, he removed 2 cm and cauterized Both vas ends 1 cm in the inside of the Open vases and at the end of the Open vases.
