Who has had a vasectomy?

I wondering how many guys like myself got vasectomies and what that process was like?

I was referred to a urologist that actually suggested I wait because I was “only35” and I might want another child. I already had 4 and said I was not having anymore and if he was reluctant to do it I would get another referral. That changed the course of discussion and he went into the risks and recovery. Then he had me drop my pants and did a full genital exam with particular attention to my testicles and cords. He then said all looks good and should be a normal procedure and I could schedule with his receptionist on my way out.

I had one in my mid 30s also. The topic came up in my yearly exam. After inquiring, my doctor had me drop my pants and performed a thorough genital exam. He explained the anatomy and what would happen as he examined me. I was mostly erect by the end as he thoroughly felt my tight scrotum. He said everything felt like I'd have no issues and gave me a referral. When I saw the surgeon, we had a pretty quick discussion and he also had me stand and drop my "trousers". I also got an exam from him, but less through and focused strictly on my scrotum and testes. Upon exit, I met with the desk to sign a couple forms and schedule an appointment. I was surprised how quick they moved, as they were ready to have me back a few days later.

I had mine done when i was about 35. Had two kids already and was marrying a woman with two kids, so I didn't want any more.

No regrets.

Yep , after my second child was born I booked an appointment with a urologist and a week later it was all over. No real problems didn't really swell up either. Less ejaculate now but that was it.

I was also snipped and clipped at the end of my 30s and after 7 children (3 didn't make it to term) and 4 full term with a set of twins in there. He also put me through the are you sure, I just looked at him like really?

The procedure was easy, the recovery went well also.

However within a few months I developed post vasectomy pain syndrome (it's real). To be specific the right testicle gets swollen and painful along with the epidytimis because of backed up sperm. They still keep pumping em out by the pipes are intentionally clogged.

Many urologists over the years and the end conclusion is I need a reverse vasectomy on that side to alleviate the pain (hopefully).

I had mine done in my late twenties. Already had two boys, and that was enough. Procedure went smoothly, with little post-op pain, although I was a motorcycle cop at the time, so had to take about five days off, to prevent any bleeding or swelling.

I did nothing feel like it changed. Castration might be a better option

I never got one, but I have friends who have had mixed experiences with them. One wasn’t even married, but did it at his girlfriend’s request. After they broke up, he got married, but because of medical issues with the original vasectomy, he was unable to have children. He also claimed that it caused him to gain weight. I don’t know if that was the cause.

Mine was done in the GP’s office with his assistant under a local. Rather quick as I recall. Needed to ice my crotch for several days afterwards and avoid heavy lifting. Ordered to use a condom during sex for two weeks and to masturbate every day to clear the sperm out.

Another guy in my office had had one and we talked about it in front of a younger co-worker. I stated that it was weird at first that nothing came out when I ejaculated. He concurred that it was weird at first but that he soon got used to it. The younger guy got agitated at this news to the point that we admitted we were BSing him.

I had mine done at the age of 26.......

I wanted it at the age of 18 but they wouldn't do it......... I didn't want any children.........The one Woman at the hospital That I talk to told me I was too young to make a decision of whether I wanted to have a vasectomy........ I told her if I'm too young for that how come I'm not too young to get drafted into a war?????????????? "this is the actual nice version of what I said to her"

I had two boys 1 From each wife......... each unfaithful wife............ that I had to Pay child support for.........

Mine was when my second was about two months old. Pregnancy was rough for so we had no desire for more kids. When I asked my primary care doctor for a referral to a urologist for one he said he does them and got me in the next week. It was pretty easy. They had me take off everything below the waste and gave me a paper sheet to coverup with. Doctor had me lay back on the table. The worst part was the lidocaine injection into my spermatic cords. Done in 10-15 minutes. After cleaning the pipes out for a few weeks, it took a cup of my own semen in a brown paper bag to the lab to drop off. Got the all clear for cream pies all the time. It’s great!

I did, after our 4th child was about 9 months. I scheduled it and 2 days before i was to go under the knife. My wife at the time said, " Here is your last chance" and basically dared me to knock her up. Of course we were laughing at the time about it. 6 weeks later we found out she was pregnant with our 5th child. She was a bit pissed at that, so she made me go and get tested to make sure i was shooting blanks. 3 Times. Over the next 6 months.

About 5 years later the marriage was on the rocks and she started cheating on me and low and behold, got pregnant again. After complaining for years about not wanting any more kids to let her body get back in to shape.

From a very early age, I knew I never wanted to have kids. That realization came about after observing on many occasions parents with their children and how difficult it was dealing with the kids. I always found it very irritating when I was out at restaurants or shopping and there were small kids crying and having a screaming meltdown. I kept asking myself, do I want to put myself in that situation. My conclusion was I never wanted to be in that situation.

When I got married at age 30, both my wife and I were deep into our careers and working long hours. My wife at first wanted kids but was lukewarm on the issue. I consented but she knew I really didn't want kids. After a brief period of trying to get pregnant which failed, I got a vasectomy and put the end to the issue. We were both relieved to just put the whole issue behind us and get on with our lives.

We both have never regretted our decision and even in hindsight as the years rolled by, we are totally glad we did not have kids and have no regrets at all. It was absolutely the right for decision for us.

As far as the vasectomy goes, I have a good friend who was general surgeon and had done numerous vasectomies. I went to him and in his office under a local anesthesia he performed the procedure in about 45 minutes. I was a little sore for a couple of day but never had to take any kind of pain killers. The incisions were small and did not leave a scare and he used dissolvable stiches, so I never had to go back for a follow up checkup. Although it was not required, the doctor said to provide a semen specimen after 10 ejections to make sure the procedure was effective, which I did and there were no sperm in the sample. And that was it. A very easy quick and painless procedure with minimal discomfort for about 2 days afterwards.

Married at 28, got mine when I was 30-31. Ex and I decided we weren't going to have kids, piece of cake.
