NEED ADVICE ABOUT VASECTOMY's

[jsuggs]

Mine was the no needle kind. Had it done at 4pm on a Thursday and went to work at 8 am on Friday. No swelling, no pain and very little awkwardness.

Finally a thread where nobody says "pics or it didn't happen".

That's FUNNY^^^^^
had it done 20 years ago. As stated do what they tell you after wards and you will be fine.

I wish I would have had the procedure back when i was about 16 and then had the reversal done when I was financially ready to have kids. High school and college would have been a lot more fun.

I did the same type Dan Patrick did on the radio. No cut style. Took a whole 10 min and drove my self home. Took weekend off. No swelling, no pain, no stitches, no big deal.

My boys are still intact so no personal experience here. Just thought I'd humor the crowd this morning by letting you know the go to guy for this procedure in Austin is a fella by the name of Dr. **** Chopp.

Yep...........true story

I know all doc's are different but lots of times I will cut the strings off the IUD so nobody can feel it. We have a hysteroscope(camera) in the office so we can put that through the cervix and remove the IUD later. I know not all doc's have that but that's what I do.

Those strings SUCK. My wife can't feel them but I do every dang time.

That's funny, he has been in practice a while. I did a rotation at Breckenridge when I was a medical student. I remember hearing about a urologist named Richard Chop. I thought that was awesome.

[QuietTime]

In and out in 22 minutes no big deal and was mowing grass the next day

Its not bad had mine done a few years back cost me a $25 co pay done in the docs office just followed his instructions of not doing anything and the ice pack. I little bruising but not bad.

[Big Lee]

Not bad. I just don't recommend declining the doctor note for three days off during hunting season! Also make sure you remind your wife you're doing this for her! Last if your doctor will "prescribe" this surgery as needed to prevent pregnancy risk,your insurance will cover it, I paid my co-pay and that's all.

[nursejenn]

Not to go way off the original topic but you should have permanent sterilization with an ablation. Pregnancy after is definitely not recommended. There have been some reported with lots of bad outcomes. I would worry a little about that physician's understanding of things. I don't mean that as an attack but standard of care is sterilization(patient or partner) before ablation.

[Caprock]

My advice, don't try and gather cows horseback for at least a month afterward!

[hardtner]

Yep. Pain free as long as you do what they tell you.

Most bizarre part of mine was my Dr. was a guy I went to high school with and knew well. Awkward!!!

I can top that....I didn't know the doc but my wife is good friends with his female Prep Nurse

[Tommyh]

yeah, mine sucked for the first couple of months. one would swell the size of a kiwi at the drop of a hat, and i worked in the office sitting on an ice pack for two weeks to keep the swelling down. followed instructions to the letter, wore the support as suggested, and i still hurt occasionally. i guess scar tissue isnt my friend.
