thank you.Getting a vasectomy any advice or suggestions?
When I brought my husband home after his (we have 4 kids already,) he had to ride home in the car on his knees. He had a few rough days, but it's all easy sailing after they check you for sperm....lots of sex whenever he wants it...can't complain about that. I'm enjoying myself better, too. No worries!!! And to the moron who thinks the female should get her tubes tied, SHUT UP!!! She already carried each child for 9 MONTHS, got fat, had to go through a VERY PAINFUL labor/delivery and care for the child way more than the man ever did!!!!Getting a vasectomy any advice or suggestions?
Like the other comments stated...you made the decision so you have already answered those weighty questions. SO, what can you expect...yes to the ice bag. You will be told not to work the rest of the day and NO heavy lifting for the day - do it. The next day you will be fine - no pain. The Doc will numb you, cut the scrotum and find the trans deference tubes, which he will cut - on both sides. Then sew you up and send you on your way. Tylenol was all I needed after for pain - what little there was. Best wishes..no luck needed.
Well if you've come this far you must be convinced it's what you want to do. If it is then proceed. It's really not that big of a deal. The procedure takes about twenty minutes and recovery isn't bad. Follow the doctor's recommendations, take it easy for a few days. Nothing to it.





If you change your mind later it can usually be successfully reversed.
I chickened out on mine as soon as my brother told me about his. I wish you luck. buy an icepack. you'll be fine. I feel for you though.
It's easy, simple, and done usually, right in the office. I'm glad I did it. The soreness wears off pretty soon and is not too bad. Your scrotum will turn black and blue, but it won't really feel bruised. You'll be happy about it later. Trust me. It's a lot easier than what women have to go through thats for sure. Do it for her.
Just remember that it's the right decision for you (as I'd assume it is, if you're getting it). Good luck and congrats! :)
ummm dont! let the ***** get her tubes tied or something.
My husband did before we even met, and he swears by it. He sais that it's not painful, he even got laid that day. And he says it's the best thing he has done... Unfortunately if he wants it reversed it's a LOT of money.


It's a choice if you like sex and no protection, you can be sure that you wont be fathering kids from right and left. Thumbs Up for you!! Good choice
Having a vasectomy is a very personal and important decision. The medical profession will tell you to consider sterilisation as permanent, therefore you must be absolutely sure that this is what you want. Also vasectomy is not the right choice for everyone!





At this site, we try to collect the most useful vasectomy information available on the web. We hope to provide an objective balance of quality information and resources on all of the procedures available, risks and benefits, possible complications and after effects to enable men to make the choice that's right for them. We have a list of commonly raised issues and questions that you may want to print out to help you consider what questions to ask your doctor at your first consultation, based on the postings at the newsgroup. Also, we offer information on all other aspects of vasectomy, from the pre-vasectomy shave to post vasectomy semen samples - not to mention how to take care of yourself in between.





Other items at this site include the personal experiences of men who have undergone the procedure, a survey of men who have had, or are considering vasectomy, a list of the most frequently asked questions at alt.support.vasectomy and a section of relevant extracts from medical journals. We also have information on vasectomy reversal, new procedures such as Vasclip, and the ongoing medical research into alternative methods of birth control for men.
