Anybody here got a vasectomy?

[Dennisa]

Even vasectomies are not 100%. Occasionally the ducts grow back together.

Only 100% solution is abstinence.

This thread has got to be a level.

I don't buy it one bit. If it's real, OP has some pyschological issues.

I can't believe the criticism i am getting from you people. I should be praised rather than insulted. I should be praised for being responsible for my age. I don't want to end up like the countless joes that post in this forum "my girlfriend has bad news" while they add that they work an average job with an average wage and this development means a likely life of poverty.

I don't know what is wrong with wanting to avoid accidents like that. I am being responsible in the way that I acknowledge that I can't support a kid now, nor would I for 8 or so years.

There is more to this of course. I'm good looking and I'm a james bond type can't have just 1 gf, I ask girls out even when having a girlfriend. My luck is what worries me the most I know something as bad as this scenario would happen to me.

Wow, so you want to get a vasectomy just cause you can't have a kid in the next few years?

Or is this just some elaborate level wherein you actually have a good reason for getting the procedure done but are trying to convince us that you're stupid enough to think something as idiotic as described in the OP so we can raise funds for your vasectomy on the grounds that I person that stupid shouldn't be allowed to reproduce?

I'm not going to comment on the absurdness of getting a vasectomy at your age, but to give you a little information, I just had one a week ago.

First the general info: The procedure as a whole is about 30-40 minutes. Its outpatient and surprisingly not that painful while it happens, but the recovery period can be a little uncomfortable. The most you feel is getting a shot of local anesthetic on your sack, then some heat while it kicks in. I have not heard of the constant pain part, and mine works just fine. Recovery time is anywhere between 2-7 days, and you can drive home afterwards. You are supposed to take it very easy for a 5-7 days and not do any lifting, exercise or have sex. I basically sat on the couch with frozen peas on my nuts for the whole weekend.

Now for me, the first side went fine according to the book. The second side to dr. had a hard time finding the vas and dug around down there for awhile. That was somewhat painful, but its not terrible because he's not grabbing your ball, its more like pushing and pulling around it to find the vas. He ended up finding it and made an incision, but did not like the grip he had on the clamps, so he let it go. Tried to find it again and eventually got a better grip but had to make a 2nd incision on that side. Once that was done, it was then as normal. It took about a little over an hour for me because of the trouble. Because of that, my recovery has taken 8 days and I'm just today feeling better (had it done Nov 16). It was like a nonstop feeling like you got kicked in the balls. I pretty much have worn a jock strap for 8 straight days. Its still a little sore where the stitches are now , but those are supposed to be dissolved in a couple of more days.

My case is a little strange, and I've had friends who were fine after 2 days and some that took 10 days to feel better. Just depends on how good of a healer you are and how close your vas is to the surface.

My insurance at work covered it. I paid two $35 copays (one for the initial consultation and one for the procedure itself). YCMV.

Now that you know what you are in for, do you really want to go through this?
