Now I'm only feeling the smallest amount of pain on the right side if I move or sit wrong but it's no worse than soft pinch. Had sex the day the stiches were taken out and everything was fine. So all in all being a father of four who doesn't want anymore children I can't be happier. two days were the worst but most of the pain was gone by the time the stiches were removed apart from a dull ache in the right side.

Wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. the whole procedure took maybe 20 mins and the worst part was the needles, they do hurt a bit. After it's all numb though it just feels strange, dull poking and pulling sensations. Both mine where done thru the one incision which was closed with two stiches I got out a week later. Drove myself home after, had ice and over the counter pain meds ready for when the pain kicked in. The ice really helped me the first couple of days and the over the counter pain medication was plenty good enough to keep the pain at bay. the first Had my vasectomy 12 days ago.

Do it! Do it! I was concerned that I was going to have the procedure too young (30) or that it was unnecessary and then my partners contraceptive pill failed and now I'm going to be a father (sadly, she couldn't bring herself to abort so now we're stuck with it) I'm going to get this operation as soon as we've moved and I won't be required to life heavy boxes, tv's etc. One unwanted child is more than enough thanks - learn from my harsh lessons guys, if you don't want kids (or more kids) get it done now before it's too late and you don't have the choice. Do it! Do it! Do it!

So far all good, some mild pain post op that has been handled with over the counter pain killers. The big thing for me leading up to the procedure was it made me face my aging, mortality and stage of life. I have 3 kids and don't want 4 but it still was difficult to face the realities that I am moving into a different stage of life. The procedure itself was probably about as much discomfort as getting a filling at the dentist. There was some pain getting the anaesthetic and a bit of a dull ache like my balls being squeezed. I would rate the pain as about 5/10. Post op i drove myself home and had no pain initially. As the anaesthetic wears off the pain is a pretty light ache 3/10. Just enough to need pain killers for sleep but no pain killers needed if I have something to take my mind off things. Just had my vasectomy yesterday.

I had a masssive issue with the bit about taking away the 'man' bits, but I am ready to have it done now... what I want to know is if I can have a general anethsetic for this cause the thought of getting needles, etc down there is a bit terrifying for me. how do they numb stuff up down there? Needle in the nuts? Gawd, hit me over the head, throw me to the lions, but a needle in the nuts or thereabouts is terrifying... Can someone aleviate my concerns or do I just need to man up and bite down on a piece of wood??? Any options or advice appreciated I’ve been considering getting the snip for some time.
