I had one. It was a minor procedure. I think guys who whine about them

I wouldn't say daily, but for about the first year I would have a shot of
pain every once in a while that would but me on my knees.

I would agree that it is a relatively minor procedure however; to say it is

I had one, had a fun time getting it done and lost of fun times
afterwards!!!!
Both my family doctor and the urologist told me of all the risks,
including the rare risk of chronic pain afterwards. It is also
mentioned in the literature I was give and on most vasectomy sights on
the net (I researched it well before I had it done). None of the other
guys I know that had it done have chronic pain. I am definitely more
sensitive to injury (just a small bump causes more pain than it used to
before the surgery) but nothing worse than being a teenager was.
I highly recommend them to all men who have had all the kids they wish
to have.
I just wish they were retroactive ROFL!!!!

Also it's critical to go for confirmatory testing afterwards. They do
sometimes fail, as evidenced by a good friend of mine who fathered a baby
8 years after his "last" child. A little blessing like that can cause a
major life adjustment! And yes, it was confirmed he still had live
swimmers. Naturally, after his second vasectomy he went to the lab with a
sample!

If you consider the affects the pill have on women who take it for long
periods, and the surgery/recovery time required for women who have their
tubes tied, it makes sense to have a vasectomy. I certainly can understand
why some men feel the way they do, it took me 2 years to agree to having it
done.

No kidding! I worked in a hospital where the only surgeon was an
obstetrician.. Great at cesearians, but when he tried his hand at
vasectomies the specimen that were sent to the lab contained no parts of the
vas deferens. A number of guys had to have their surgery repeated before
they stopped him from doing vasectomies. Remarkably, not one patient sued.

I had mine 7 years ago. No serious problems, even though I had minor
soreness on 1 side during the adjustment period. I suspect reports of
chronic testicular pain due to vasectomy are vastly exaggerated. For
lots of good information on vasectomy--including many, many stories
submitted by men who have been through it--go to
www.vasectomy-information.com. There is also information there re:
successful treatments for the rare cases of "post vasectomy pain."

Vasectomy doesn't involve cutting on the balls. Only tiny tubes
carrying sperm are cut, leaving lots of other cord structures and
vessels intact--including those that circulate testosterone from the
testicles to the blood, those that supply the testicles with blood, and
the cords that hold them in place and make them go up and down.
Icarus
done 2 weeks ago at the Dartmouth General.
Like ANY surgery, there are risks, however minor, during the procedure. Now,
2 weeks later, dissolving sutures are gone...very slight bump / raised area
where the small incision was done and just a slight tenderness. No problems
to date and none of my friends who've had theirs done years ago discussed
any post-op problems.

They don't usually just cut these days, they burn, er, "cauterize" the
tubes. It's still almost nothing compared to nine months of pregnancy
and hours of labour, times 3 in our family.

Cauterizing the end works well. That's what they do with tubal

In the case of single women, it's better for them to take matters
into their own hands if they want to have sex but not babies/ It's
different for a couple and I would agree with you that it's a prime

Healing from a neatly done episiotomy was preferable for me than
the high chance of tearing. It meant getting him out quicker and that
was fine with me!

Far better than drugs and rubbers! Once you know you're done with breeding
it's the best possible option. The woman taking the Pill is a serious
health risk, rubbers get kind of tiresome, there's no such thing as
pulling the train out of the station "in time", etc. A vasectomy is a
simple, 100% effective procedure with minimal risk. That's why it's so
darn popular.

Geez Ian I imagined you would want grandkids on the knee. Maybe you just
want to know your kids will have some effective birth control at all
important times. I feel the same way and have had open and frank

That's what always got me when I attended a delivery (I had the same
reaction to the ratcheting shut of the tenaculum when I assisted at IUD
insertions) but when the time came for me to have one (and a second and a
third), I never even noticed -- hubby OTOH went weak in the knees each time.
For the record, studies have shown that tears heal better than episiotomies.
It's not unknown for doctors, on being questioned by the women about the
necessity for episiotomies, to mention 'satisfaction of the husband after
the repair'.

The sound he refers to is the sound of the scissors cutting into the woman's
perineum during the episiotomy, not the sound when he had his vasectomy.

I think the answer is obvious. We guys should just never get
married. We should pub crawl our way through life until we're too

When I trained we were told the reason for an episiotomy was that tears
could extend through the rectal muscles and you wanted to avoid that at all
cost. But after helping out in the delivery room of my local hospital, at
the time staffed exclusively by British nurse-midwives, I saw that the rate
of episiotomies was much lower than at most Canadian hospitals with no
greater incidence of complications from tears. Of course when my turn came
to deliver in that hospital the ob/gyn who was overseeing the new midwife
insisted on "a nice big episiotomy". For a 6.5 lb baby with a very little
head that seemed like overkill but at that point I didn't care. Subsequent
deliveries were handled the same way.
Gabby

I suspect the chance of rectal muscles being torn is as great either
way. The woman I know who suffered one had an episiotomy. It
certainly wasn't pleasant for her but there it is, childbirth has some
inherent risks, large and small.
I had my third in Tokyo and they didn't do them there either. He was a
placenta previa breech at 8 months and although perhaps if
episiotomies really do speed things up it would have been better, he
didn't do it. He just ever so gently, disentangled everything and
dumped the ugliest baby you ever did see on me :) What a mess!

A friend of mine had a vasectomy about 10 yrs ago and has suffered chronic
pain ever since. The only solution, he was told, to repair the problem IF a
reversal didn't work was castration... YIKES!
I did some research and found this site. Although we do not live in the
west, this doctor took the time to call when I emailed him about my friend
and his problems.
Have a read through his site, particularly his procedures and video.Rather
informative, many urologists denounce post vasectomy pain syndrome.

Chronic pain would be due to nerve damage and I don't see how that could be
improved by going back in and fiddling around some more doing microsurgery
to repair the vasectomy. OTOH, a bilateral orchidectomy seems so drastic.

it is, I think anyone having any surgery should always obtain a second
opinion.

... My doctor never mentionned it, but then I never had any pain, just
what seems like two things blocking the pipes.

Unlike Donna I couldn't have gone back to work the next day but weeks?
Nah. The day it was actually done I was totally wiped out the rest of the
day...afereffects of anesthesia. HAD to stay in bed...every time I tried
to get up i nearly fainted.

I'm having mine done in the New Year, sometime after Valentine's Day.
Ironically, that's the date of the consult with the surgeon, lol.
Remind me then and I'll let ya know how long I'm down for. lol

I don't know who told him this, but I hope he got a second opinion.
nerve denervation of the spermatic cord and removal of scar tissue are
rather less drastic solutions, depending on the source of the pain.
