Yup, the needle stings a bit. As it was coming to an end, and they were sewing it up, I said

"Ohh that stung", to which the doctor said

"I suspect the anesthetic is wearing off".................. ohhhhhhh

Anyone remember those big full page jokes they had in Playboy years ago? when the chop was becomming common, the drawing was of a doctor in a vasectomy clinic walking past a row of men waiting for their turn, and he was singing "Here we go gathering nuts in may, nuts in may, nuts in may, here we go........"

Bunch of pussies on this forum.

I had mine about thirty years ago - one injection, one little cut, one gorgeous Italian doctor with a lascivious smile, less then five minutes on the table and I was out the door and on the train home, bit of a dulll ache that evening and then fine ever after.

Shaved my balls last night. Stayed up all night (all week tbh) unable to sleep due to blind terror.

Applied numbing cream and dressing this morning. Went in to the clinic.

The guy took one look at me sweating and shaking and refused to do it under local anesthetic on safety grounds, he thought i was going to faint....

fk me what a week. Call me a pussy, but now i honestly don't know if i can go through with it, despite having been referred back for a repeat under a general anesthetic.

Now i have no pubes.

But i do have Post traumatic Stress disorder.

The wife was uncharacteristically kind and understanding.

Condoms aren't so bad, right?!
Apart from the risks of the general anesthetic you're far better off having it done this way. I had problems initially caused by the local anesthetic which caused me a lot of pain and six weeks off work plus occasional ongoing discomfort ever since. As someone else said 99% are OK but the 1% that are not is a huge number.

Think I can upstage most of you :-)

Went to have my snip a few years ago so went through the embarrassment of having my bits fiddled with by a bearded lady then the Doctor injecting me twice making the incision and having to inject me again as the anaesthetic was wearing off quite painful but hey ho. Went home with Mrs Prolex driving wearing my nappy. Hurt for a day after.

After the 4/6 weeks sent my sample off to be told it had not worked so I had to go through it all AGAIN.

Was a bit miffed so requested another doctor.

Went in knowing what to expect which is worse.......Doctor took ages and again several injections were needed he was really struggling down there at one stage he looked up at me and apologised saying the problem was I had thick tubes

Any way second time it worked :-)

So there you have it two vasectomies for the price of one !

I keep the letter in a very safe place, that confirms i am a jaffa.
snip was fine for me but could not manage to give a sample in the special room, had to knock one out at home and get it to the hospital quickly. Think you have to have something like 20 ejaculations before they can be sure

No way would I ever go for the cruelest cut of all.

Having gone through it 25 years ago, then decided it was the biggest mistake ever, I then endured a successful reversal, which is miraculous considering the time gap from snip to reversal.

So, just be very, very, very certain you, (not her) are 100% certain on the full implications.

Consider if your relationship go's tit's up, and she runs off with the milkman, and you end up out on the street.

Then your new wife, love of your like, is 20 years younger, and absolute fantastic woman with no kids, and want's you and a baby to to make a new family.

It does happen.

Don't ride a motorbike the day after.
Mate if mine went to the docs to arrange the snip, doc had a bit of a poke about and recommended he had a circumcision at the same time. A couple of months later he had both ops under general anaesthetic and was sent home with a couple of strong painkillers. He got an infection in his todger which spread to his nuts and laid him up for a couple of weeks smile
He was the only one that didn't find it funny.

You do realise it's possible for different people to have different outcomes from the same procedure, don't you? confused

When i had mine, all my mates, neighbours knew and were waving and laughing when the father in law dropped me off.

Also my daughter had painted my toenails the night before like toddlers do, and i went in for the snip with badly painted toe nails, didnt hurt at all, but prepare for a massive wrinkle free nut sack for a few days

I don't see what all the fuss is about!
Shave the night before.
Couple of Valium in the morning , 2 hours before surgery.
Small jab in each sac.
Gorgeous nurse holds the (growing) todger out of harms way.
2 stitches in each side.
Doctor says go home, in a few weeks have a wk and come back with the result! (No the nurse wouldn't do it for me! frown)


I think you need to change your name to "Pilchard The Pussy"! biggrin

Would you still say that if you were one of the 1 in 10 people who had chronic long term pain?

I very much doubt it.

I got the choice between local and general. I went for the local as I figured the doctor would be a bit gentler if I was awake. I was a weird sensation though, I couldn't feel any pain but was aware of my bits being tugged and juggled about. I was doing physical work at the time and needed a couple of days off after to let the swelling go down and wasn't on my bike for a couple of weeks. Psychologically I had a real need to keep trying to prove my manliness for a while after.

If you are that scared of life's statistics:-
1) Do you smoke?
2) Do you drink alcohol?
3) Do you eat food containing fat?
4) Do you eat food containing Carbs?
5) Do you ride a bike?
6) Do you drive a car?
7) Do you use public transport?
8 Do you walk anywhere outside of the house?

If you do, make sure you never read the statistics for the likelihood of coming to harm, you'll develop agoraphobia and not go out!
(And definitely don't look at the statistics for accidents in the home!)
biggrin

Car crash, liver failure, heart attack, trip over and fall on the floor under a pan of boiling water...... all trivial compared to long term pain in the testicles. The TESTICLES!!!!!!!

rofl

As a slightly serious aside... Have you really discussed this with you OH and made sure that you are 200% certain this is right for you?
I had mine done about 25 years ago because (the then) Mrs PoleDriver didn't want any more children after the 3 we had.
Move on 6 years and we split up and got divorced, she went on to meet someone else and they now have 3 more children!
I have lost 2 girlfriends because they wanted children and doctors refused to reverse the OP due to how long it had been done and my age.

IMHO THIS is what you should be worrying about rather than the very small likelihood of having a sore bk for a while! biggrin
