Vasectomy

[Str8strokinbud]

It’s on the calendar for mid-December... any advice leading up to it or for the healing process? I’m not going to lie, being a couch potato for 2 days is kind of appealing right now! Thinking about getting some chemical ice packs rather than frozen peas. Any advice or well wishes would be appreciated!

(I’m also a bit surprised I didn’t see another post on the topic... sorry if one exists)

the healing will depend on what type of vasectomy you're having, the open up, cut and tie is not done much these days, normally done by laser scalpel and not very intrusive.

Where I work we do these all the time and guys go back to work afterwards - they're just advised not to have sex or do exercise for a day or two.

you also have to remember that it can take upto 6 weeks before your tubes are clear afterwards, so you can still get someone pregnant until you're told that your andrology test (checking that you've not got any semen cumming through) is clear.

so worry not

You'll definitely want some support for the boys during the healing. I got it done on a Friday, went to work on Monday and by late Wednesday it wasn't very pleasant to walk. I work on my feet all day so if you sit down more it's not as bad. The discomfort makes an erection a distant idea but I was happy to get full rock when it came time to start draining the reservoir. I will say mandatory masturbation sounds like a great idea...until it's mandatory. Lol.

I'll admit that I had no discomfort but nonetheless milked it and enjoyed two spoiled days on the couch.
It was an easy procedure. The only issue was my surgeon was a jerk - told dirty and rather misogynist jokes as he made the snips. I found this distasteful and unprofessional, especially in mixed company (his assistant was female.)

Good luck.

EMOL cream 2 hrs before the procedure, take a jock strap 1 size too small with you to the procedure take 10 pieces of 4x4 gauze lay over your nuts and put on the jock strap with compression shorts. Tylenol with frozen peas when you get home..... I had mine done on Thursday and worked Friday in my home office just doing emails and calls was back to work. Monday in the hospital
I had the no scalpel technique no swelling or bruising left the jock strap and compression shorts on for a week..... really was no big deal I was at the pub having beers 2 hrs after the procedure

Wife has been talking about it, I tell her I rather her get fixed. Think I’ll just wear a condom for the time being till I’m ready to get it done

With today’s medical procedures it really easy and fast, barely any pain. Just do what they tell you and your good. Mine was on a Friday and back to work Monday. Make sure you get your cum checked after to make sure it worked!

ha! The mandatory jo/sex was another good part... thx

I must have gotten real lucky. The entire process, laying down on the bed to walking out the door was 15 minutes. I had the traditional technique with scalpel and stitches, which dissolved. No pain at all. Lidocaine injection stung for about 2 seconds. That was it. Did the frozen pea thing but didn’t have enough discomfort to even need it. They said no sex for three days. I was jerkin it the next day. Didn’t support or a jock strap or anything. Good luck to you and anyone else having it done. Fear will get to you. The actual process is not bad at all.

How do you get your cum checked?

 

[deleted957094]

Mine was done via electrocaudery. Had it done Tuesday morning, they gave me a few Valium to take prior, lidocaine during the procedure. Went home slept the rest of the day and was back to work with some Tylenol the next day. Nothing to it.
Technique matters though, I’m in a new relationship now and the electrocaudery is nonreversable. Didn’t matter to me at the time but has been a stressful topic of discussion now.
Agreed with @diver6 get checked a few weeks after cleaning the pipes!

How do you get your cum checked?

Let me tell you MY experience with this... I had to masturbate into a container and hand deliver it to the receptionist like six different times I’ve the course of about 5 months. Embarrassing. It took numerous ( over 100, yes I kept track) ejaculations before I got a completely clear sample.

Oh damn! That would make me embarrassed too

This was embarrassing for me as well. My doc explained I needed to provide a "fresh" sample, less than 15 minutes old. I lived 20 minutes from the lab which meant I had to deal with it on the spot. I had to request a specimen jar ("which kind?" I was asked in an overly loud voice in a rather full waiting room). I took it to the men's room to discover it was a single stall and the door didn't close well, leaving a nearly 1" gap. So there I was trying to cum in a less-than-private place as guys came in to use the urinal right next to the stall. Very awkward (and this was before cell phones with internet so I didn't even have porn to watch.) It was so uncomfortable I didn't return to do a second verification (the first sample was fine but they suggested I do it twice to be sure.)

Mine wasn't that bad, they gave me more time but it could not have saliva in it so no blowjobs to get it! I had to do it twice as the first test they messed up, I got my wife to take it in!! Lol.

Wow. I had to go back with a sample SEVERAL times before I got the all clear. I didn’t need to have a fresh sample. I asked if it need to be fresh and they said no. All they are looking for was signs of ANY sperm cells. Alive or dead. If they saw dead ones in the sample, I was not cleared yet. Once they saw no dead cells, I was good to go. It took 105 ejaculations to get the all clear. No I did not take 105 samples in. Only 4 I think it was. I thought it would be interesting to see how many it took so I kept track on a chart. My wife thought I was nuts. Like who does that!?

I never expected so many challenges in getting a clean specimen! I guess I’ll have to get the lube ready and jack it every chance I get. And surprised they just sent you to the bathroom to do it. So funny! This is one part of the process I didn’t give a thought.

I was determined to get those pipes cleaned out. Yes, lube and a a smooth hand
I’m actually glad I never had to go into the bathroom and do it!!! That would really suck. Especially in the doctors office. On demand. Yuck

It's not like they said "go to the bathroom and produce a sample," it was just that there was no viable option at the time. If I had driven, I would have asked my wife to join me ane we could have gone to my car and made it fun I guess, but I took public transport there alone lol. It was perhaps the only truly unenjoyable jo I can remember. I'm lucky at least that I can get aroused easily enough to have pulled it off (so to speak.) I wonder, reading other peoples' experiences, whether I actually could have taken more time and they were just toying with me (I hope not.)

I am considering it... we will see.
