Vasectomy : Who's had it, how'd it go?

[Ken Oath]

Had mine done about 8 years ago.....walk in, walk out...no dramas.

What's this waiting days for the "test drive"???? Gave it the test drive the next day, no worries....although the wife couldn't understand why I started giggling uncontrollably after the deed.

"It works...it still works....you'd be bloody pleased too."

No pain relief after the op.....all too easy.
Although I was given a bottle of Scotch as a "reward" for getting the op. The wife reckons that I didn't need pain relief, asd I drunk the botle in 4 days.

Wouldn't have felt a thing, she reckons.

Had to have wife sign form to say she accepted risks, and wanted no more kids etc.

WTF? Since when does she get a vote?
What if your single and wanna get it done?

[euphoric]

i was single when i got it down, no problems, issued wasnt raised. i worked in sexual health at time, GP was a friend, who sent me to a surgeon (due to issue i have with locals). Was a bit sore fora few days, bruising, but all good within the week.

the wife form signing thing would actually violate confidentiality if your ok for doctor to contact for this reason wasnt given. it's your body, you dont need ANYONES permission to have a procedure done, if your an adult deemed capable.

Never married, no kids. Had the snip. Twice.

First time - 2001: drove car home and had sex that night with a fuck buddy. Hurt like hell, but it was a rebellious thing, ie "don't have sex for about a week".

Second time - 2007: rode a motorbike there and back. The vibration was agony on my ball sack but the bike got me there and back.

When I got tipped off that the tubes had reconnected I had to make a bunch of rather tricky phone calls to various women that I'd "spent quality time with" in previous months. "Hey, it's Phil, had any good periods lately?"

For anyone that gets it done: don't stuff around when you're briefing the doctor. Make it clear that he is to take out as much tube as possible. My first one was 6mm on one side and 7mm on the other. Second time was 12mm on one side and 13mm on the other. I'm told that it actually should be 20mm each side though.

Both times were done by the same doctor and he had only even seen tubes reconnect once before in his life (he is in his 60s).

If you've got doubts about having more/any kids some day then go to Keogh Medical Research Institute, wank into a jar and pay about $200 a year to have it frozen. Then, if you want a kid then you can just get one out of the freezer.

going in probably next week or week after to get it done ... taking a mate coz the softcock is scared.

funny thing is he got his missus pregnant coz he didn't do it years ago like he was meant to

[Para045]

Mine was done by a bulk billing GP. Private health never came into it.

+1 I got referred to Osborne Pk Hospital, did it as day surgery with a local anaesthetic, took about 1/2 an hour all up + another 1/2 hour waiting just in case anything went wrong like fainting etc then got driven home by the missus
Was a bit tender for about a week and couldn't ride the bike for that long but had the missus knocking the top off it after 2 days
Did end up with balls like a Negro though for a couple of weeks, all black Preferred to be awake so I had an idea what they were doing

I've heard that wives of those that had the snip end up with an increased libido. Any truth to this guys, in your experience?

Don't know about that but the missus was certainly more "receptive" to suggestions due to less worrying about condoms etc

Oh, and I gather the procedure has changed a little from years past.

In the old days, they cut and excised a portion of the vas tie-ing up both ends. This meant that sperm was trapped in the shortened end of the vas. Sometimes, the sperm may not be cleared away by the immune system in time, before an infection set in - could cause problems - and it happened to a mate of mine Pain, swelling, the whole "box and dice".

Nowadays, they only tie the "external end" of the cut pipe (cauterised and titanium clamp ), leaving the "internal end" open.

Basically means every time you ejaculate, you fill up your scrotum a little

With mine they cut the tubes, tied them and then sewed the ends into a flap cut into the wall of my sack

Oh, and there's the pubic hair regrowth.

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKK!

Funny they told me specifically not to shave as it could help infection Was a tiny patch without hair where the incision was and thats it

[Sventek]

Just to put you off, I had mine done without anaesthetic! The surgeon who did mine was incompetent (he was struck off about a year after I had mine done), and didn't administer the local properly. The pain wasn't too bad initially (the scalpel was sharp), but when he pulled the tubes out and clamped the first one off, the pressure was awful. I let him know, and he gave me that 'toughen up' look. When he snipped in between the clamps, my head jerked back into the wall, and I threw up. Luckily, the nurse could see what was happening and had a bowl ready. I got lots more anaesthetic after that! It was quite funny walking into the waiting room afterwards. It was his vasectomy morning, and the line of guys there saw me walk out like a giraffe having a drink, white as a ghost, and sweating like a pig. The looks on their faces was priceless. I can still remember the smell of him burning the ends of my tubes...

[jules_1972]

Inversion slowly receding!!!!!

[Desmo]

Best money I've ever spent.

Me too, didn't cost me a cent.
Hurt for about three weeks like I'd had a swift kick to the aggots though.

[Cam]

Three weeks? Brutal dude.

I had that 'kicked in the bollocks' after-feeling for a day or two, otherwise all good.

Never has there been a better advertisement for condoms or the pill.

OK, so we have an arguement about whether the wife should have a say in a vasectomy, but what about the other way around? For example, my wife has had enough of the child birth thing and is happy to stop but I'm not. That doesn't mean I'll do the dirty on her, but shouldn't she get the snip if she doesn't want any more kids? Yes it's selfish but what if we split and a hook up with a nubile 25ish girl (/dreaming) who wants a bunch of kids?

It's an interesting one because I feel pressured into (queue the other thread) getting this done when I'm not ready to stop procreating? Would the girls on here take on getting the snip is their significant others asked them to?

Of course my choice not to get the snip now precludes any sex, of any type, ever again....

No woman has the right to make you do something you really feel in your heart isnt right for you...the same being said for woman as well. Same goes for the men. It comes down to you and your relationship. If you are looking into the future of hookin up with a young nubile young thing, an are waiting for the what if? The question isnt about vascectomy...its about how long your gunna be married happily for. Childbirth can be traumatic at the best opf times, its not something men can ever come close to knowing. The pain is beyond anything you can ever imagine, and the thought of going through it again is simply bloody to much for some woman. talk rationally with your partner about each of your fears.

[agf]

had mine about 18 years ago, made sense at the time and haven't regretted it. Had a great dislike for rubbers and tried nearly every form of contraception. All went well until I got home had a few too many smokes and the best part of a bottle of bourbon, fell asleep( passed out) and forgot about the ice pack on me nadgies add frostbite to bruising, interesting mix. Got over it until about 3 months after the op and I jumped off a loading dock and i just kept going down, knees buckled, felt like i was melting into the concrete. didnt jump off the dock for another six months,nasty feeling. But now love not having to worry, new wife likes the "no hassles" Its all good, can laugh now best ade

[D'Artagnan]

The question isnt about vascectomy...

True. Honestly I was just venting .

[Cone Cat]

Gee, surprised at the number of fellow PSB's who have had the snip.

Can't quite remember when I got done. a few years ago. I was asked why I wanted the snip by the doctor as I don't have any kids but my wife's medical condition was enough to convince the doctor to do it.

Wasn't much pain during the procedure. The doc had a couple of students looking in on the procedure which he asked permission for and I didn't mind. It hurt a bit for the rest of the day and most of the pain went away over night after sleep and a couple of beers, no sex.
Was a while before I tried it out. week and a half I think from memory. It was a bit of a downer on my libido having stitches in the sack. Haven't had any problems at all since. Basically everythings normal except the don't need contraceptives part.

Tip. Talcom powder really helps with the itch when your hair is growing back.

. I got lots more anaesthetic after that! It was quite funny walking into the waiting room afterwards.

Ha unlucky you but farken funny. had it 10 years ago after 4 kids. yep had to get permission to undertake said procedure and also had it done local. GP bulk billed and and the only thing that slowed down the return to horizontal gymnastics was the fact the missus was temporarily faster than me.

wat amazed me was what the plumbing is connected to. got the this guy using really large hand movments and that and a tugging sensation deep from in the gut. Dr Duck i think his name was. good job little swelling and playing football and training within the week.

[Desmo]

There was no way I was being conscious with another man cutting into my hairy walnut with a scalpel.
