Who has had a vasectomy?

Did it about 15 years ago, snd … get this … the urologist was an old clsssmate of mine I hadn’t seen since high school. What’s crazier, he married a girl I had done to school with since the 1st grade.

Anyway, it was actually a fascinating experience. I always waited for the painful part, but … it was almost too easy. Plus I could watch, fascinated, as he used … it wasn’t a regular syringe, but I don’t recall now what it looked like. In my memory it almost looked like a pen?

First a tiny local in the scrotum … towards the middle so he could use the same opening for both sides. Then he isolated the vas deferens, injected it directly with the tiny needle, and actually pulled it out of the hole in the scrotum. While it was pulled out, he numbed it up more, then cut through a couple layers, cut and cauterized the tube, and stitched the layers closed. Let it go, repeat on other side.

Dare I say it was almost too easy? No complaints, but it’s not often a medfet loving guy gets to see his own junk get worked on, and I think I was kind of hoping for more of a show!

Had mine done over 8 years ago. Went to the urologist for the consultation to discuss the procedure. He grabbed a pair of latex gloves as he asked me to drop my pants for a quick exam of my testicles. I scheduled the procedure for a few weeks later. Can’t remember the instructions on where to shave so I ended up completely shaving everything down there.

On the day of, I was called back into the exam room, undressed from the waist down with a sheet coving me. The doctor and male assistant came into the room and explained everything. The doctor then cleaned the area and I remember him saying a slight pole on each side of my testicles and didn’t feel much after that. A few minutes later I was given an ice pack to put down there after I dressed and walked out. Easy recover and easy procedure for me.

I had one 30 years ago after my last daughter was born. I was on the young side and did get questioned about it by the Urologist but convinced him I was done. I was a borderline candidate as I had prior scrotal surgery for undescended testicles so the risk for chronic pain was higher.

Procedure was done in office with a local and was unpleasant. He had to dig around to find my vas deferens and that caused discomfort. All was well for about 4 years until I got a left side inguinal hernia. They did a laparoscopic repair and I don't think the surgeon did the best work. I had difficulty urinating after due to swelling. Once that went down all seemed well except for recurrent then chronic left side scrotal pain. In a nutshell, my left nut hurt and was more sensitive to touch than the right. I went to a different urologist who said it was an epididymal cyst likely caused by the vasectomy and made worse by the trauma of the hernia repair and we should monitor.

Over the years it stayed more or less constant until about 5 years ago when it started to become worse and started to swell. Current urologist did a left side orchiectomy and now I'm lopsided. The good news is the pain is completely gone. I hadn't realized how bad it had become until it was absent. My sex life has improved and I've noticed no difference in libido or performance, so aside from the cosmetics, all in all a positive outcome.

So, your milage may vary with respect to complications from the vasectomy. I had them, as things go I suppose some fairly serious ones, but I don't regret the procedure as I likely would have had a few little bastards running around out there had I not done it. I can think of at least on ex-girlfriend who would have gotten herself knocked up to lock me down. Dodged that bullet.

This was the easiest operation ever! Once we

decided that our family size was fine, I had the procedure done.

It was no big deal.

Yes, I had a vasectomy. Well, actually, two vasectomies because the first one did not reduce my sperm count to zero, which was troubling. I wrote a blog account of that bizarre experience for Zity.

Fun fact: If you feel along the spermatic cord of a guy who has had a vasectomy, there is usually a small lump right were the vas was cut. For me, the lump is prominent on one cord and much more subtle on the other.

Some of these perspectives/comments are good. I'm seeing my GP this week and wanted to ask him about a urologist referral for this.

I'm 40, unmarried, and have no kids. I also don't want any - in fact that's something I look for in partners.

I was told to get mine after the birth of our last child 30 years ago

Coincidentally that’s about the same time my wife gave up on sex

Haven’t had a real life peak , scratch , sniff , lick or f$&@ since then 😞

Years ago I had a vasectomy after my second daughter was born. We figured two was nice and comfortable! Beside,s I had been present during the birth of both girls at a time that few men accompanied the women into the delivery room. In fact, both times the delivery doctor allowed me to take photos of the birth... one at which he told me to go to the foot of the bed behind him to get a 'great perspective".

My vasectomy was a more lonely affair. The nurse instructed me to lose my pants, put on the gown, and lay down on the table with my working parts up! Her words were something to the effect "raise your skirt and lets prepare you for the doctor'. The words "your skirt" hit me like a bomb! And she proceeded to wash my parts and apply a chemical disinfectant. Doctor enters and does his work. Nothing much, a needle prick and garbes the my tubes, snips, sews me up and says cold pact tonight... Asked me to return in ten days to check to see if I was shooting blanks. Of course my wife had to talk to the neighbor lady and the two arranged for my neighboir to help me produce the test sample. At that point I did not argue and let the two enjoy the laught while I enjoyed providing the lab sample.

I had a vasectomy just under a year ago.

The procedure itself was relatively quick and between the local anesthetic and the Valium they prescribed for me to take prior, it was a breeze.

I had my initial consult with the practice in November (the week of Thanksgiving) and at that appointment the P.A. I saw discussed the risks and benefits of the procedure, asked me how long I've known I don't want kids and she did also ask me if I was in a relationship and if my partner knew/was also onboard with my getting sterilized. None of the questions felt accusatory and the whole appointment took maybe 15 minutes including a quick genital exam to insure she could palpate both vas.

I got a call from the scheduler the following week and the soonest opening my doctor had in his schedule was February 21. On the day of the procedure my partner drove me to the office an hour before my appointment so I could sign the consent forms and take the Valium and then after that kicked in they brought me back, prepped me and my doctor did the vasectomy.
