I wrote this a year after my vasectomy, it's been five years now with no issues. I got a referral from my doctor, consulted with the urologist (basically just verifying that I had appropriate anatomy) and got the surgery a few weeks after. I had read some literature and was not worried about post-vasectomy pain as I don't have a history of chronic pain and my father has had a pain-free vasectomy as well. I had a no-scalpel vasectomy around lunch with both ends of the vas clipped. The surgery was over in 15 minutes and I had no issues - the needle felt at most like a pinch. I waited the mandated 20 minutes then took a cab home. I had a 3.5-day weekend spent mostly in a comfy chair being attended to by my wife. I iced my groin the first few hours and took NSAIDs. I actually had no pain on the left side, only some twinges on the right when my testicles shifted (I blame the urologist letting an intern clip/cauterize that side). I was back at work after the weekend (took the bus in), back walking long distances after 6 days and back biking and at the gym after two weeks. I feel like I could've gone back earlier but there wasn't much harm in waiting longer. My first ejaculation was ~4 days after and there was a bit of blood present but no blood after that. I had slight twinges of pain on the right side (felt like poking a bruise) for about two weeks but no pain after that. I did the semen analysis test 90 days after the surgery and showed 0 sperm. Since then I've abandoned condoms and life's been great. No pain whatsoever or change in semen quantity/quality, the only physical change is that my testicles have physically gotten a bit larger. My wife has also stayed not-pregnant. The surgery was free, the cab ride was the most expensive part. For me, it's been a very simple and problem-free experience. I would definitely recommend it. Consider freezing some sperm first if you think there's a chance it will ever be in demand, that costs about $100/month around here and has a higher chance of success than a reversal.
