Dr Who? Posted 12 October, 2013 Share Posted 12 October, 2013 Anyone else had a vasectomy on here. I have to say it is fine when sat down, but when I get up to go to the toilet, I feel quite light headed and it starts to hurt more. I hope it hurries up and get better as I feel I am not pulling my weight. Been sat here for 6 hours now and I am a little bored! Anyone give any advice or there experience? See I am bored!

eurosaint Posted 12 October, 2013 Share Posted 12 October, 2013 Had one 30 years ago with zero problems or regrets except for when my wife drove me home from the clinic, she had just passed her driving test and lurched/ jerked the car all over the place, every bloody pothole was taken at speed, every corner was taken on two wheels etc.. I thought that I was a trooper until I heard that a mate of mine played squash on the same day that he had his snip ! Fecking poseur !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is no way I am doing much apart from maybe making a tea. I feel very sick if I stand for longer than a few minutes. I am going to miss cycling daily and also refereeing on Sundays for the rest of October. I have no regrets getting this done, as I have 3 wonderful kids and I am 40 next year. Anymore children would take the childcare over a grand! This was enough insentive to go through with it. I found the proceedure easy, apart from the needle at the start, that was painful! The rest of the cutting, putting the tubes out, sealing and dressing was fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 12 October, 2013 Share Posted 12 October, 2013 He left a few mm of cut tube in mine so the wound wouldn't heal until that had worked its way out. Overall it wasn't too uncomfortable. All getting a bit academic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 12 October, 2013 Share Posted 12 October, 2013 had one after birth of the third child. Everything OK for the first 12 to 18 hours, then infection set in. Swollen to the size of grapefruit and seemed to weigh a tonne. Incredibly painful and still brings tears to my eyes when thinking about it.

Ohio Saint Posted 12 October, 2013 Share Posted 12 October, 2013 I haven't had one, but if it really does bring a lot of pain to the genital area then I think I might consider one. Cheap thrills are so hard to come by at my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 (edited) After 3 boys we finally got our little girl so Mrs Duck said "enough is enough " and sent me off to the doctors. Initial"think it over "chat and wanting to speak to Mrs Duck , he gave me the green light. "We do it here in the surgery now" he said , I wasn't too impressed with that, even less so when he advised " a collauge from Portsmouth will conduct the procedure" (stright up). I made a mental note, dont wear saints kit, or let it slip im a scummer. Anyway, day before surgery gets a call . The skate has gone sick , can they rebook me. " fine no worries". I was playing Sunday football then and had advised manager I would be out for the weekend. No surgery, so I turned up to play. " What are you doing here, you weren't available". **** it, told them the story " was having the snip , cancelled ECT" . The centre half says" banging his mrs, never been the same since" , another bloke says his bollards went black, another says cried with pain. Back to the pub after game storries kept coming, my mate this and my mates that" swollen bolards, black and blue. So basically I bottled it. Cancelled the new date and informed mrs Duck that family planning was her department. Edited 14 October, 2013 by Lord Duckhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 Had mine done about 18 yrs ago, at the RSH. Had a surgeon called ironicaly called Professor Cummins lol i kid you not. Went in to wait to be done. Only for the nurse to lift up my johnson, and say oh dear your have to shave your balls some more. WTF! Then came back with some talc and a razor. OMG have you ever tried to dry shave your prunes!!! But everything went fine, even though i had my reservations. After hearing my mate Brian, spent two weeks in bed with some purple grapefruit looking balls, aftet they ****ed up his op. Just dont let anybody kick you down there. Or stuble over and rip out your stitches like i did. VERY VERY PAINFULL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 Oh FFS ....... what freaking burning smell..... This is not something I had included in my worrying list http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/vasectomy Vasectomies are often performed in the doctor's office using a local anesthesia. The patient's scrotum area will be shaved and cleaned with an antiseptic solution to reduce the chance of infection. A small incision is made into the scrotum (the sac containing the testicles that produce the sperm). Each of the vas deferens (one from each testicle) is tied in two places with nonabsorbable (permanent) sutures and the tube is severed between the ties. The ends may be cauterized (burned or seared) to decrease the chance that they will leak or grow back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge too far Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 (Knock knock) please can a female make a small observation on this very male thread? We know a chap who, on getting married for a second time (and previously having had a vasectomy), decided he'd try to get the procedure reversed. It was done successfully and he now has four more children (and a grandchild although that's sort of irrelevant)/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 If you're considering having it done, it's always worth asking which technique they will use as there are more than one now. The newer 'Non scalpel vasectomy' uses a laser to make a small hole in the skin, and usually leads to less swelling, inflammation or pain. This isn't first hand knowledge btw, I just work at a Surgery that used to perform the technique. I'm still trying to start a family... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 Had mine 11 years ago. First side went ok, he started the second side and stopped. Looking at me he asked "Did you feel something just then?" I admitted I had then asked him how he knew. " A scrunching up of the toes is a good indication sir". After a little more anaesthetic the job was done. I had it on a Friday, thinking I'd need the weekend to recover but apart from a leaden feeling and a slight swelling I was back to normal by the Saturday evening.

ericofarabia Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 Had my done about 18 years ago. Booked into a private clinic whilst back on leave, so missed out on all the normal consultation about what to do pre op. So consequently I didn't know exactly where to shave, so the whole area went (nearly saved them a job whilst trying to shave the under the ball bag!!). I didn't shave 24 hours ahead as they suggested, but just before setting off to the clinic, a decision I regretted later when they applied a spray anaesthetic which really did bring tears to my eyes!! Also all the itchinesss from the uneccessarily shaved areas as the hairs grew back was not good!! It was a bit disconcerting when the Doc asked if I wanted to watch - that's the last thing I wanted to look at thank you. The only pain, short but very intense was the initial injection into the nuts. Once again not being totally briefed on what was going to happen I mustered p all my will power to ignore the pain from the injection, not realising there was going to be a 2nd one in the other nut - I had nothing left and ouch it hurt for a few seconds!! No post op pains of note, but boxers aren't much good at support so maybe a few pairs Y fronts or dig out your old speedos for a few days/weeks. The paybacks are immense - anybody old enough to remember the Martini advert? I called myself The Martini Man - anytime any place any where, no preplanning required!! Also after about 7 days (?) of no ejaculations, you are then required to have at least one every day for the next month to flush out the tubes for a post op fertility check. Now that's the sort of prescription I like - at least one orgasm a day - come on honey - Doctors Orders!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimond Geezer Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 I was neutered about 4 years ago, with no problems at all, in fact it was a pretty good decision. My boss however had terrible problems, couldn't sit down, when he did sit down, he couldn't stand, lots of bleeding, all pretty grim, on the other extreme a mate was done on the Friday & was playing footy on the Sunday.

This is not something I had included in my worrying list They remove a small section of the pipes and cauterise the open ends. There is one issue they dont tell you in advance; one side is always straigthforward, its easy to find the pipe to cut. Almost all men however have one testicle where the pipe goes behind the b*ll*ck itself, so the b*ll*ck needs twisting and clamping and it is more difficult to find the pipe, meaning cutting longer and deeper.

Chorlton Posted 14 October, 2013 Share Posted 14 October, 2013 When I went for the pre snip meeting with the GP, I asked him if I would be alright to go to St Marys the next day. He looked at me, smiled, took a sip out of his Pompey mug and said 'so long as there are no mishaps'. During the procedure, he also said to me that being a GP was sometimes a thankless task, but being given the chance to mangle a scummers' balls and therefore make a real difference to society made it all worthwhile.

One of my plums took 20mins to do, the other 2 hours. Why did it take so long? Big or small taters Alps? My own experience was OK. All done in 15 minutes. The Doc even saved he bits of tube he'd cut out and gave them to the Mrs so she could have a good laugh. The cauterising was an unexpected pleasure. Bit of advice to chaps considering it. Firstly tell the Mrs that you need to get serviced daily until your test results are free from sperm (and obviously lie to her about the amount of time it takes before you get the all clear). Secondly, and more seriously, there is a fair chance of getting a small bit of scar tissue where the incisions are, which can be a bit painful and sometimes is a bit uncomfortable from time to time.
