Reversal is more like an "OH poo poo" button for people who realize they made a mistake. It's possible but unreliable and there's certainly no guarantee that a reversal will bring everything back completely even if it does work. Its success rate is decent, but if you know you want kids later, it doesn't seem worth the risk. Here's a good link on it from the dude that did my vasectomy: http://www.vasweb.com/vasectomy_reversal.html. Specifically, check the paragraph on success rates. If having kids is something you're just sort of meh about and you're totally cool with not having kids, I guess this process is an option (although it seems less pleasant than just wrapping it or having her use some sort of control). But if you know that you will want kids, it seems ill-advised.

This is something I want to get done in a couple of years when I've had kids... well... I would want to do it, but where I'm from I'd never, ever heard of anyone ever getting it done so it doesn't seem normal to me. When I moved to the USA my manager (Who had 4 kids, the first when he was 16) told me that he'd had it done, and he totally recommends it, but *hides face in hands* "it was the most painful, painful thing... I don't want to talk about it... the doctor hosed it up. But you should get it done after you've had kids". He's the only person who's ever shared their experience with me so it sort of puts me off.

I wanted to share my experience with the group. I had my vasectomy done a week ago. First off, I can't believe how quick it was. Aside from the waiting around and nurse talking to me, the actual procedure was like 15 min. The doctor had suggested bringing an ipod so I was listening to Dan Savage's, Savage Love podcast. (I felt it was fitting). My doctor had prescribed Diazepam (Valium). They were really tiny pills and I took one an hour before then the other like 15 min before. Even still, I think most of the discomfort during the procedure was mostly nerves. The only rough part was when he was checking to see if the lidocaine had kicked in. It felt like he was squeezing my balls, "Can you feel this?" It took like three times. I was tense because I kept waiting for the bad part but I didn't feel anything. He made a super small incision right at the top middle of my scrotum. I'm not sure exactly what he did but there was a lot switching from left side to my right side. I did smell him cauterizing my junk which was a little gross. When he was stitching me up I just felt a gentle tug. I was thinking "Holy poo poo, I'm, done?" This is one of those things were the worst part of it is the first few seconds. In the end getting my wizdom teeth out was way worse. If you are thinking about it, I can't believe was a big deal it was NOT. Less than 24 hours later and I just had a dull aching like long after you get kicked in the balls. Stick to a routine of icing down the area and taking some extra strength Tylenol. I really thought it was going to be worse. I do need to avoid walking around too much. Just sit for a week! I feel great when I've just been sitting and then I get up and get busy doing poo poo around the house but I pay for it later. Invest in a couple of really good jockstraps too. Make sure your poo poo is well supported. Jiggling and hanging seem to be the enemies. I picked up GTA V and I plan on milking this poo poo for as long as I can. If any of you are in San Diego, I did it at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla. Dr. Tran did the procedure and he was awesome all around.

First test has come back clean.   We made sure to have me  at least once daily after the first week. It's been a month since, so it's a good start. Second test coming up in a month. I imagine the little guys in there wouldn't die and dissolve during the drive to the clinic, right? It was probably 40 minutes between  and turning it in, and then some time sitting there before being examined. If the doc says it was clean then the sample was clean, right? No chance of a false negative or anything?I'm more concerned about being the dreaded guy who has wolverine balls and has the vas heal back together.

Boo I wish that was my case....I get to just fap in a cup and rush to the clinic to drop it off. I have been thinking about this that every time someone comes into there establishment they know that person just jacked off into a cup. I mean I know it is there job but I still had a few reservations about going. Obviously I will though because I want to make sure this poo poo is DONE!

Coworker of mine lived too far away from the clinic and had to produce his sample in the office. They let him use someone's office bathroom. A conversation ensued outside the bathroom door for the duration of his attempt. I guess he got it figured out. Another coworker never bothered having any samples tested. Just waited a month and threw caution to the wind. I'm too paranoid for that. I'm taking the plunge in mid November with a doctor recommended by my personal doctor as well as a coworker (different from the aforementioned two coworkers, it's been a popular year for snips around my workplace). I'm nervous but ready to get this done. It got moved back because I realized I had called an office with about 10 urologists in it and they had me set up to see a different doctor (I forgot to request mine by name). The coworker who also recommended this doc just had his done a few weeks ago. He was fairly uncomfortable for about 3 days and then exacerbated things by moving around too much without enough support (outings with the family, going back to work etc). He also said he sent himself back by having sex less than a week after the surgery. He described it as pretty much going back to the day after the surgery, pain wise. I think he finally took it easy long enough that he's feeling a lot better now, 2 weeks after the surgery. It wasn't horrible pain or anything, but he prolonged that aching longer than it probably needed to be. I intend to stay put for 3-4 days and then be VERY careful moving around at work. Most of my job can be done seated anyway so I figured after a few days off I should be alright. I'm certainly not going to be taking kids to the park or any crap like that (this whole thing is for the purpose of NOT having to take kids to the god damned park).

I just had mine done thursday morning. i'm in way less pain than I expected. I have a dull ache on the one side, where he had a little more trouble finding the vas, but otherwise just a couple tylenol every 4 hours is taking care of things. Walking is a little tender, i'm taking it pretty easy but i've gone out to the grocery store and to a buddies house to play cards and its no big thing.

Yeah, when I got there they asked if I needed to do the deed there, which totally would have been easier (basically I had to drive home, produce the sample, drive to the office, drop it off, and drive back to work) but then again they gave me sample cups to use when they sent me home after surgery.

You guys need nationalised health bad. My free vasectomy came complete with a large but rather bland cream coloured room with a chair, a box of magazines and DVDs and a tv, I guess with built in DVD player. A DVD would have been a step too far into surreal-land for me though so I stuck with the magazines. There was even a sink to wash my hands after, and instructions on the wall on how to catch all of the ejaculate. It was all rather civilised for what is ultimately a semen extraction chamber. Scarily it's in the basement of the maternity building. I guess that's one way to double check the results.

Trip report from my procedure a week ago. Super simple, way less pain than I was expecting, and so far recovery is going well. I wasn't prescribed anything before or after the appointment. Consultation and appointment were on the same day. I don't have kids, the doctor just wanted to make sure that I knew the procedure was pretty much permanent, and he seemed genuinely at ease when I told him that I was planning on adopting if I ever had a change of heart about wanting kids. I took two extra strength tylenol before going to the appointment. I was pretty anxious about it, I knew I'd be fine once I was numbed up but I was surprised how nervous I felt in the hours prior to the procedure. Once I was there and the doctor started, it really wasn't a big deal at all. The numbing shot to the sac was a non-event, pain wise. Numbing the tubes is what really had me anxious. What everyone describes is about right, that you get that sick-to-the-stomach feeling during the injection, like you've taken a hit to the balls. But it wasn't nearly as intense. If you've ever been nut-tapped by an rear end in a top hat friend, or just sat on them wrong at some point, the pain you get from that is more intense than the pain from the shots (for me anyway). After a second or two, you don't feel much of anything at all. It was really anti climactic. The remainder of the procedure was just me chatting with the doctor while counting the ceiling tiles repeatedly. The procedure was performed through a single, small puncture, and stitches weren't needed. It took maybe 20 minutes for the procedure, another 20-30 for checking in and consulting with the doctor. I took my recovery very seriously. I followed all the post-op procedures to the letter. Straight home, laid on the couch, ice, took tylenol every 6 hours. The procedure was Tuesday afternoon, I quit taking tylenol Friday morning, and I didn't start moving around again until Saturday afternoon (with the aid of some tight underwear and a jockstrap, we're not worried about our sperm count here). I knew things were tender down there, but I really didn't experience much discomfort during the days I was laying down. I took things slowly on Saturday, with plenty of support, and felt fine. Sunday I had a small aching but I was also moving around more confidently at work and paying less attention to my walking/sitting/standing up, so maybe I just jostled stuff around too much. Never anything greater than maybe a 2 on the 10 point pain scale. It's a full week now and I can definitely tell I still need to take it easy and continue using the jockstrap, but so far I haven't experienced any significant pain. Most of my coworkers who had the procedure dealt with more discomfort than I did, but they all had contributing factors such as they: 1)Moved around a day after the procedure, like going to the mall, running errands etc 2)Didn't wear the recommended support or use ice as directed 3)Had small children that jumped on them at some point because children are assholes 4)Had sex and/or quit wearing a jockstrap as soon as they started feeling better, which led to them feeling much worse in a hurry A couple coworkers actually listened to their doctor and did what I did, some even took more time off, they all recovered without incident. FOLLOW YOUR POST OP INSTRUCTIONS OR SUFFER! I couldn't be happier with the procedure overall, my doctor, or the recovery. I'll be even happier when I get a few negative test results. I'm very happy I did this. It was a huge relief once I got through the procedure and realized how simple it had been. The Ferret King fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Nov 19, 2013 |

Just another checkbox for all those reading these about to have the surgery done... get some solid underwear to support your ravaged balls afterwards! Being a boxer man most of my life, I never knew the security a good pair of ball hugging briefs could offer. I ordered two pairs of Ex-Officios and if I weren't wearing these post-surgery I was hurting. I'm a believer now. http://www.exofficio.com/products/mens/underwear/bottoms And I found this smilie to be a most fitting description of these thread

Yeah, I got mine on a Friday at noon, the folks at the doc's office had a post-snip go bag ready which included prescriptions for antibiotics and vicoden, a bag of frozen peas, and discharge instructions (I.e. no washing the site for 2-3 days, no exercise, etc) so I, having come prepared with briefs and a jock, went straight home. My girlfriend picked up the meds and I took it very easy. I was bowleggin' it around for the first day and a half, taking it easy when sitting for another 3-4 days, and was back to relatively normal by the next weekend with a minuscule amount of lingering pain if I let the boys bounce a bit too hard. I took the Monday following the procedure off just to milk it, but was back at my desk job on Tuesday. It was the no-needle, no scalpel (which is not actually the case, the needle is used after the hypo-spray and the scalpel is used to cut the vas) procedure, which probably affected the recovery time since the incision was literally a pinhole. The ol' cancer check is a little different since the epididimides (?) all distended but that's 100% normal and a sign things are properly sealed off.

I'm heading back into the doc tomorrow to get checked for some discomfort I'm still having. The aching up into my lower abdomen never subsided and remains as a dull ache throughout the day, but becomes a pretty intense shooting pain if I try to ejaculate. I'm crossing my fingers that it's a low grade infection that'll clear up with antibiotics, but we'll see. Update: I've got granuloma. I was unlucky enough to get one on both sides. Heavy doses of ibuprofen for the next 2 weeks to clear them up. I took my first sample in since I was going there anyway, it came back clean. However, since granuloma tend to grow outward as they're attacked by white blood cells, they're sometimes the cause of re-attachment of the tubes. This is very rare according to my doc (3 per 1000 patients) but he wants me to submit another sample in two months just to make sure.

Vasectomy Story: So I had (1) kid and my wife and I decided to shut down that train and I opted for a vasectomy. I got it in August and I am still not clear of sperm. I feel like the recovery period for me was longer and more painful than advertised and on the first day I felt like a popped a stitch or something (The Doctors figure they hit a blood vessel causing a hematoma in the sack which lead to massive bruising and swelling and pain but no infection.) The incision area were troublesome to heal and ended up gaping a bit and then there was ongoing pain that had my concerned including swelling and hardness in the epididymis. Anyways after a rounds of jizzing in a cup and having it tested it basically went something like this Tons of sperm, thousands of sperm, 200 sperm and now in december a count of 400 sperm. So obviously the numbers are dropping and the theory goes that there is just some residual sperm left over and lingering. For most guys they are free and clear after a few weeks, so this has been frustrating for me. The doc just put me on a cycle of doxycycline (antibiotic) with a theory that it will waste any residual tube dwellers. So I am running a 10 day dose of that and then jizzing in a cup again. Failing a good result on that I may have to explore another surgical option due to "anomalies" The biopsy confirmed they got all of my tube(s) the first time but it seems some men might have extra hoses or routes for the sperm to go down through. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? Not really looking forward to getting cut up balls again. Oh: The surgery itself was not that bad, just had local, and besides some tugging and mild discomfort it was no big deal, except that the psychological effects of a dude cutting up your balls. chemical_combat fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Dec 20, 2013 |

Have you been knocking out enough loads? Chronic masturbation peppered with frequent safe sex is a great way to clean the pipes before exploring more surgery. When my doc told me x orgasms or 3 months whichever is longer (I forget the exact number) I remember thinking "so a week or so after recovery?"

Jerking it at least once a day minimum, sometimes more than that. Wife is really tight legged because she is terrified of getting pregnant (tough pregnancy) but I got in there a couple times, ohhh yeahhhhh. So that's at least 120 orgasms since the vasectomy. I think 'normal' is 10 to 20 ejaculations to clear the sperm. The fact that I have basically been masturbating every day since september is part of the reason I have low hopes I will be 100% clear. Unless my sperm have hooks in them that won't release or something it doesn't make sense. Was quite pleased when my numbers dropped to 200 sperm count, but the fact that it's at 400 ( I think a healthy sperm count for fertility is like 20 million?) the last time makes me feel like they are sneaking past some how. I know theres probably a bit of error on the tests too but not sure how accurate they are. Fingers crossed though my antibiotics run until the new year so I'll get tested in january again. chemical_combat fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Dec 21, 2013 |

My experience was pretty close to the norm - I had it done at 27 after 2 kids and had a very easy recovery too. I was given what I think was Valium and was high as gently caress during the procedure but distinctly remember feeling my tubes being pulled and seeing and smelling the smoke when I was cauterized. I also have more tender balls now and one has always been slightly swollen - my urologist has assured me I'm not in any danger however. The only unique part for me was getting divorced a few years later and worrying that no one would want a guy who didn't want more natural kids and couldn't have them anyways. If that's your fear, trust me you have nothing to worry about. There are plenty of women who will love the fact you can have condomless sex without having to worry about pregnancy and who also don't want more (or any) kids. My current girlfriend basically told me that having a vasectomy was the best decision I ever made  Just be safe and be sure to get tested before being with a new partner bareback!

All right. I'm far enough removed from my vasectomy (got it done in July of last year) that I can finally tell this story with a bit more humor. I don't want to discourage anyone from getting a vasectomy if they really want one (because it's crazy awesome now that it's over) but my procedure was anything but simple. Quite honestly, the LEAST complicated part of getting mine done was finding a doctor willing to do it to my 28 year old, engaged but not married, no kids self. It was a short conversation, a "so zero kids is enough for you?", and a "you should consider this permanent" and it was scheduled for a couple of days later. The procedure was quick and easy, although the doctor really wanted to start cutting just before the anesthetic kicked in. I could feel his first cuts fully and painfully so we had to wait a couple of seconds before it kicked in. It was really weird when he was cutting and clamping the vas because he had to tug it into place and I could feel a tugging sensation all the way back to my spine. Twenty minutes later it's all done (no stitches) and I'm sent on my way. Got my supporter on, amble toward the exit, and have my now-wife drive us home. I get upstairs, lay down and slap an ice pack on it, and wife goes to bed since she has to work early in the morning. Feeling fine so far, looking forward to a day off work and some mild discomfort for the next few days. About two hours later (about 10pm?), the pain is intense. Just laying on the couch with an ice pack on was horrible, but trying to stand up and put weight on my left leg easily ranks as the most pain I've ever felt. I saw stars, that's how bad it was. Try to hobble into bed and get some sleep but the pain is throbbing and it hurts way too much to try and sleep. Getting out of bed was also a gigantic pain since it hurt just to swing my leg over the edge of the bed. I hobble out to the kitchen supporting my balls with my left hand because the supporter is doing jack all to help. I take an extra Percocet I had left over from when I got my wisdom teeth out a couple weeks prior, that does nothing to even touch the pain. I spend the next few hours trying to sleep and shambling about trying to find that combination of walking and cursing that's going to make it stop hurting. Finally, at about 3am, it stops hurting. Completely. I finally think I can get some sleep and lay down for a few minutes before I have to get up to use the restroom. My wife is awake as well and was going to grab a glass of water. Thank goodness I went down the hallway first because I got about a step outside the bedroom before I passed right the gently caress out. White noise in my ears, vision down to a pinprick of light, the whole shebang, just out. I come too with my wife practically trying to drag me out into the living room. According to her I'm ghost white so she funnels some food into my face while she's calling her work taking the day off because there's no way she's leaving me by myself now. By this time I have the supporter off to let it breathe a bit and my entire area is close to the size of a large grapefruit. Funny in retrospect, but it had swollen up so much that the surrounding flesh just kinda sucked my penis into it. Call my doctor as soon as they open in the morning and it turns out he only comes in during the evenings and they don't have an appointment available until 7pm. They tell me to go to the ER in case something serious has happened. I spend a good portion of my morning there and get an ultrasound only to find I've got an utterly massive hematoma. The summary I have says about 13 cm extending from my left testicle up into my abdomen and inguinal area. I see my regular doctor later that night and he tells me to give it a month and see him again. Meanwhile I'm still shuffling around like an old man, I'm bleeding from my incision sites because they're overly swollen and not stitched, I can't use my supporter because I can't fit into the drat thing, and everything just hurts. That was an incredibly long month. I also got a gnarly bruise over my entire scrotum and half my shaft that ended up spilling over to my upper thigh and down my left leg to almost the knee. Next time I see my doctor (which is now about beginning of September) the swelling has mostly gone down but I've got a golf ball sized lump next to my left testicle that would just not go away. His exact words were "that's not normal" and sent me to a urologist for further consult. His thought was that when I started bleeding into the left side, instead of being cooperative and trying to absorb it, my body just walled off the hematoma and said "naw, gently caress that" because it didn't want to deal with it. He said I could wait and see if it goes down on its own but that it probably wouldn't and I'd have to have it removed. Like, an actual hospital visit with general anesthesia, intubation, and recovery time. By the time I got that scheduled it was close to the end of the year and I'd plowed through my insurance deductibles so it made sense to just have it done. The actual surgery went way better than expected. They basically had to go in, puncture the little hollow that my body had made, drain it, and remove the skin around it. I had very minor swelling compared to the aforementioned grapefruit from the initial procedure and I only took the two pain pills they made me take at the hospital before I left. The incision finally healed completely near the end of December and the only lasting effect I can find is that there is a small (maybe a quarter inch) strip of skin next to that second incision site that is completely numb. As in, no feeling whatsoever. I'm assuming it's either unhealed scar tissue or a tiny bit of nerve damage but it doesn't affect anything else so I'll take it. I had tested clean after the initial surgery but my surgeon told me that he basically redid the vasectomy on the left side so he's prefer it if I did a couple more tests just to make sure. I've been really lazy on that but my wife has about 7-8 months left on her implant so we should be mostly golden until I get off my rear end and submit a specimen. Christ almighty, that's a lot of words about my junk. Even with all of this, I'd still encourage anyone who strongly wants one to get a vasectomy. There is a very, very small chance of this happening to you and 6 months of pain/$5000 in medical bills is way better than 18 years raising another human being and the approximately $400 million it takes to do so these days. I tell this story because when I was gearing up for my vasectomy everyone said how simple theirs was and it was just a little uncomfortable and you'll be back on your feet in no time, so I basically have an anecdote to counteract theirs. TL;DR - My vasectomy has huge complications, I get a grapefruit-sized scrotum, and I have to have actual surgery to fix the aftermath. But you should still do it if you're serious about it.

In contrast mine cost $35, the doctor didn't dwell on the fact that I had no kids, was not married, and was 28. Got the typical "you should consider it permanent" talk and he was willing to do it that afternoon. The doc had been in practice for about 30 years, with specialty in vasectomies for a good part of that. The worst I had to put up with was bad jokes (dude literally strolled in, me on the seat with my balls out, and yelled "this is the sex change right?" and then took a look at my "chart" which had a "Vasectomy for Dummies" photoshopped book cover taped to it. Later as they were taping everything off away from the balls he was making bondage jokes. A+++ would get fixed again) and a weekend of being waited on hand and foot. This was the card I got from their office a couple weeks later:

My doctor was kind of a jerk, which did nothing to help my anxiety during the procedure. And just to contrast the horror story that Techno Remix told above (holy poo poo dude, sorry you went through that), my procedure went perfectly. The downside was that it was VERY uncomfortable and they had to keep injecting me with numbing solution because I metabolize it too quickly or something. This resulted in me briefly feeling some serious pain, but ultimately, I got through it okay. I had zero swelling and didn't even have to take the Vicodin I was given. After two weeks I was 100% and it took about 3 months/2 semen samples for me to be cleared. Cost $20, would do again. Just want to say that complications are a real risk though, as evidenced by this thread and by a buddy of mine that has chronic pain a year after his procedure. My doctor really hammered this in my head and I was pretty worried about it, but things have worked out thus far. Also, your dick will be shriveled and humiliating during the procedure.

Just got myself done, yesterday. Had been thinking about doing it for a while, since after my first son. Second kid came along and had a pretty serious medical issue at birth (hydrocephalus) and that cemented it, I was done with kids. Talked it over with my wife and she was in agreement that we were done making babies. So, of course I put it off for a year because I'm freaked out by surgery. Finally call up the health department and they set it all up for me. Get in and talk to a urologist and he tells me to come back in two weeks, and writes me a script for a Vicodin and Lortabs. Since I barely even drink, these knock me on my rear end with such a low tolerance. I get in, drop trou, and ten minutes later I've got a bandaid on and I'm free to go. Worst part was the numbing injection. Felt like a bee sting to the boys. As of now, I'm feeling great. Dull ache but I can move freely. Three weeks until my first checkup to count, then two after that. My doc realized that I knew what he was doing, but still narrated the procedure, which I really appreciated.

Is there a good place to find reviews on places to get this done? I'm on long island and I found a place near me but I just want some reassurance that this place is legit and won't gently caress up my nuts.

I got one because my Fiance had 4 kids already. Thankfully I did because she cheated on me and now I have nothing tying myself to her. I never experienced any painful side effects from it (clamps). But now that I figured out kids aren't that bad and I was willing to raise 4 that weren't my own I'm confident I won't reject someone out of hand because they have a kid (only if their ONLY goal is a daddy. Doesn't matter who, as long as their kid has a daddy. You won't be special, you are not The One, you are a means to an end.) Not all girls are like this, but you must be aware that some are. I'm 33. Didn't feel a thing. Not even swelling or anything. Well, okay I didn't get it JUST because she already had a litter, I never wanted any. But I accepted hers and it was a double reason (I didn't have the NEED to make my own, she already had a bunch.) I don't need to provide genetic material to be a good father, a better father than theirs apparently. I have no idea how much, I'm in Canada and just said I wanted one. They booked me and I never saw a bill. Maybe my company health coverage covered it but I have no idea. Haha. Or maybe I had a face like William Murderface and they decided the population was better off.

Not to poo poo on your home but I wouldn't trust anything in, on, near, or perceivably related to long island. I mean, islanders are more capable when it comes to handling a ballsack than pretty much anyone, but they'll probably overcharge you and half-rear end it anyway.

I hate this shithole (I'm not from here originally), and I totally get what you're saying. I found a doctor, he has his own personal website, and two separate business-type websites under different names. Separate they all look legit but when you have all three open on different tabs it raises a bunch of questions. Same address, same phone number, 3 different sites/names.
