How ghastly is a vasectomy?
Discussion
I had it done last Friday. I was back at work on Monday, although a little sore.
Not really the most pleasant thing in the world, but not that bad either. So far the worst bit is the stitches are a bit itchy, the day after the op I felt as if I had been kicked in the plums, and I spent a couple of days walking like John Wayne.

I didn't enjoy the procedure at all.
Went to a family wedding party that evening.
Day 3, Monday morning went work, climbing in Locomotives etc.
Monday afternoon went home.
Tuesday morning wife remarked that everything had turned black and would it be any bigger
Did the John Wayne and soft shoe shuffle for the rest of the week.
Only good memory was when I decided I could shuffle on down to the corner shop.
Passing my cousins home I heard a great roar of latter from him and his mates, to which I treated to a suitable hand signal.
He later told his brother I was the funniest thing he had ever see , which was kind of touching as he died of cancer a few weeks later.

Having had mine done just over a weeks ago some advice:
1) Take it easy. Really easy. Sit on your arse as much as possible.
2) Wear insanely tight pants - two pairs if you need to. You don't want those bad boys jiggling around in an way shape or form.
3) Wear the tight pants for at least a week. Don't be fooled into thinking your plums are ok - they aren't and gravity is not your friend.
Still good advice. Best of luck! 1) Take it easy. Really easy. Sit on your arse as much as possible.

It's fine. Rock up with shaved plums, change into hospital gown, avoid catching the eye of anyone else in the waiting room. Get shown in to a small operating room with an upside-down dentist's chair on it, so your hips are higher than your feet. Man comes in, positions bright lights onto your genital area, starts giving the sprouts a good rolling about. You make uneasy and stilted small talk, and try to ignore the attractive female nurse hovering in the background. He explains the procedure, then paints your bits with some kind of antiseptic that takes days to scrub off. Injection goes in, one into each tube, uncomfortable but not painful. Everything goes numb.
Doctor makes a small incision in the scrote, then uses a hook to pull the tube out into the fresh air. Small talk is drying up a bit by this time. He clamps the tube, cuts a section out of it (to stop the ends from finding each other and healing up) then cauterises the ends. Repeat with tube #2. Silence by now, really nothing left to say. He puts a soluble stitch in to close the hole, plaster over, job done.
Walk very gingerly into the waiting room, nurse explains after care - ice, rest, don't shower for two days, then make sure you have as many ejaculations as you possibly can for the next two weeks. You ask what the record is. Joke falls flat.
Go home (best to have someone pick you up), sit on sofa with back of frozen peas under chuds, watching TV and occasionally whining for cups of tea. Next morning, marvel at bruising that has changed your wrinkled family retainer into an avocado. Take some iboprufen to damp down dull ache. Repeat sofa/tv/peas/tea day. Take it easy on day 3.
The guys I know who had an issue did something stupid like riding a horse home from the operation. They felt fine on day 3 so went out running, that kind of thing.
Pay money, get the best service you can, treat it with respect and take it easy for three days afterwards. You'll be fine.
I had 5 injections in one nut and 4 in the other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Doctor makes a small incision in the scrote, then uses a hook to pull the tube out into the fresh air.

I had the snip over 25 years ago. Top surgeon, all done privately. The surgeon cut a blood vessel in error. He failed to notice and I bled badly, and was in pain for weeks. Off work for maybe six weeks. Years to fully recover. Told it was 200/1 for there to be a problem. So you and 198 other blokes should be ok.
BTW. It worked but I cannot honestly recommend the op.
I know it's bad form to quote oneself but I'm on an iPad and can't be arsed to re type this.BTW. It worked but I cannot honestly recommend the op.
Suffice to say, 199 PH-ers are (statistically) indebted to me.
As it were.
Thread bump.
I'm being done on Friday and I can honestly say I'm proper papping it and I can't get my head around why. I've had FAR worse experiences with a somewhat meh attitude but this is pickling me. It's not even supposed to be anything other than being uncomfortable for a few minutes.
Is it because it's my balls? Is it physiological that my bits are being butchered?
I have sweaty hands typing this.

Going for the pre-op consultation on Saturday then the actual op should be 6-8 weeks later apparently. Please come back to this thread after yours and tell us how simple and painless it was. If it wasn't, please don't come back to this thread! I'm being done on Friday and I can honestly say I'm proper papping it and I can't get my head around why.

You’ll be fine. I especially enjoyed the smell of bacon as the doc cauterised my vas deferens!!!I'm being done on Friday and I can honestly say I'm proper papping it and I can't get my head around why.

Much less painful as an op than a hernia, slightly more painful than giving birth based on our household experiences.
If you've knackers like a goat (I'm not trying to say I have big balls but from my experience) DO NOT bang them on the toilet seat or rim for about 3 days after. Best to try and sink Bismarks from a slightly squatted position, keep your lower legs vertical, your quads at 45 degrees and stuff a couple of towels across your groin and then lean down / over that away without actually sitting down (as you might be told to do for a s
t post groin hernia).
Make sure you go for the return test - I still had swimmers after attempt No 1! Fortunately age has stopped pretty much any function there these days!

Oh and just in case this surprises you, they used blinking gaffer tape to tape my nads to my belly whilst making space available in the undercarriage area for the nurse and doctor to have access.
But of course the John has now got the tape on it and I can be a bit King Kong in the hairyness if not in the size of member. Where the tape had been pulled off in the coming days the ingrowing pubic hair resprouting were after the bruised clockweights much more annoying.
If you're going private I think they shave / imac / wax you but our surgery just mentions you might want it done. Turns out that it is only about £45 in a beauty saloon to have the prep done properly so might be worth that done before to save minor discomforts for weeks?.

Y fronts are the key...
Worse part for me was going to hospital a month or so after to give a sample (think you have to have ten ejaculations first) to make sure it worked. They send you into a room to provide your sample, and could i manage it. Sat in this comfy chair, forever known as the wkers chair.... had to provide my sample at home instead to drop it to the hospital asap.
Procedure was fine, had it done at a local GP surgery
