HP's 6 months post Vas update

[jenn...@yahoo.com]

Hi All,

Here's my final update on my post op. I had PVP after a vasectomy 6
months ago. It wasn't unbearable, but annoying enough that I had to
raise my legs at night for relief. I took antibiotic but it didn't
help. I finally requested the Dr for an ultra sound. The ultra sound
showed that I got Varicoceles, Hydroceles in my Vas. Not sure if the
Varicolese is a result of the Vasectomy or not since I always felt that
the vein I have is kinda large on one side of the scrotum. I kinda set
my mind to deal with the problem for the rest of my life; Thinking that
the mild pain that I had to deal with at night is less than having
another child. Adding insult to the injury was that after 3 samples, I
still didn't get the all cleared.

Since I have a desk job, I cut out a cushion to sit on so that the
pressure on my scrotum would be less and it did seem to help. Finally,
after 4 months of this slight pain on the left side, it just went away
w/o any treatment. I'm still sitting on the cushion just to be on the
safe side. I also had to schedule an appointment with the Dr for a
fourth sample that he checked within 2 hours for live sperm and he told
me that he didn't see any sperm. This was done at about 6 months post
vasectomy.

Vasectomy is a personal decision that you have to make and be prepare
to deal with any undesirable consequences. For me, it's a worthwhile
decision that I'm not regretting and would recommend to my close
friends with some cautions. Good luck to you all on your goal to be
sterile.

Thanks for the email.

Well I had my vas about 5 weeks ago and I'm still having pain in the left
testicle and sometimes to a lesser extent on the right. My doc has diagnosed
a haematoma (blood clot) and I've got a varicocele too. I've got an
ultrasound scan next monday but I think as you point out below , this is
something that can take considerable time to sort itself out. The problem is
exacerbated because I started a new job this week and the constant pain does
affect my concentration.

Progress has been mimimal if any at all. It's now a constant moderate ache
that gets worse as the day goes on.

Gotta give it time I suppose but it really wears you down.
