Vasectomy

Had mine 22 years ago. I must have been lucky, little discomfort at all. In fact I was in the supermarket that afternoon food shopping.

Had mine many years ago by a general practitioner (not mine) but another in the practice that performed a number of them. Was a bit sore for about 24 hrs and within a week back to normal. Never had any negative effect on either size or firmness of my erections or semen volume. One of the best decisions I have ever made

Had mine a few years ago. I had minimal discomfort that only lasted a day or two.

I had mine done around 20 years ago. I opted to go private at one of the London clinics that specialize in women's reproductive health, but also offered vasectomies. Because of sporting commitments I wanted it done on a date that suited me and not go on an NHS waiting list, and my friend didn't have a particularly great experience with his vasectomy on the NHS. My own experience was ok with very little discomfort during and after. The doctor made one small incision at the front, which I didn't realise had been done I didn't feel the injection or the incision, and then hooked each tube out in turn to cauterize and block it. There was a sting as each tube was injected with the anaesthetic and I felt a little pressure on my balls as the liquid went into each tube, but it was very minor. It took around 15 minutes all told start to finish and no stitches afterwards. I expected some pain later but there was none, and I was back playing sport within a week.
