I had a vasectomy a couple years ago and was fine two days later. I followed all my doctors instructions and didn't lift anything, but I didn't have any pain or discomfort aside from some weird feeling if I moved too vigorously.
Yeah, I was able to return to work in a week but I had a dull pain that very gradually went away for about 3 months.Just had mine done last November and months later it healed. It takes a while.
Yeah, I was fine within a week
I'm glad you're feeling better, Groovy. Just think how nice it'll be once everything has settled and healed. #SnipClub
It only took me about a week to recover but it took my friend a couple weeks. I'd be safe and go see your doctor, specifically the specialist if you can. Everyone heals different and are you 100% sure it's jock itch? Vasectomy makes a lot of people itch.
I am on day 5 of recovery after my procedure. I am mostly okay, minor swelling and I am still sore with that dull ache that happens when someone clocks you in the junk. Spent 2 days after on the couch, day 3 was mostly couch with some walking.
It depends on your country, I imagine. In Australia, specialist care or surgeries are gated behind General Practitioner (GP) referrals. In the US, on the other hand, people appear to contact specialists directly, or at least this is how it seems as a foreigner.Curious how did you arrange the appointment. Did you get a referral through your primary care doctor or go straight to them or what?
P.S. Did anybody else's surgery like, REALLY hurt? I thought I'd be a lot number than I was and I could feel him cutting and I did not like it. He seemed surprised I said it hurt more than the tattoo I got two days prior and I'm really not sure it was supposed to.
That sucks, was almost painless for me (10 years ago, double incision).Dug up this thread to see if I was the only one. Everyone from the doctors to friends who have had it done made the procedure itself sound painless.
I have a fairly high tolerance for pain compared to most people I meet, and relative to other surgeries I've had, but holy hell did this hurt!!!
Pain was mind numbing and I was going white knuckle from clenching my hands. The pain felt like it was up inside my lower abdomen area more so than where they were cutting almost like horrible lower intestine gas pain if anyone has had it.
Surgery was 4 hours ago. Laying in bed now with an ice pack on my very swollen balls. There is a dull throbbing right now but it's mostly manageable and I have not taken my pain meds yet.
Will update as my recovery progresses.
That sucks. After snipping mine, the doctor tied the tubes up singed the ends.I had mine done last July. My wife had got pregnant about a month before and we knew it would be the last one. Because she was pregnant, I had put off doing the semen analysis until just last week since I we didn't have to worry about her getting pregnant. So I jerked in the cup and took the sample in and the next day my doctor called saying they're concerned. There were still some live spearmint there, 10 months after the procedure. The fuck?
I'm all worried now that he either botched the procedure or my body had some kind of "life will find a way" healing process. I put in another sample to see if maybe they just misread something, but god damn. I really really don't want to have to do the procedure again.

Sometimes the tubes can heal back together. It's rare, but it can happen. That's why they recommend getting the analysis done within 3 months of having the procedure done.I had mine done last July.
