Dr. Daniel Roeter, a urologist who performs vasectomies, describes his own experience after recently undergoing the procedure himself. He describes the procedure experience and what to expect for the next few weeks.
Here's information from a medical website: Persistent testicular pain (PVPS) is the most frequent vasectomy complication that can adversely affect quality of life. Because of this, it should be included in the vasectomy consent process. Due to a lack of prospective data and differing definitions for post-vasectomy pain, consensus on incidence has not been reached. In available studies, a wide range of incidence from 14-33% is reported for any testicular pain after vasectomy. A smaller group of patients, 1-5%, have severe pain that affects quality of life or sexual function. A conservative estimate for chronic PVPS of 1-5% of vasectomized men may be warranted based on available data, but the overall incidence may be higher.
I had one and got post vasectomy pain and kept it for 3 years. My testosterone dipped and I started suffering psychological issues. Turns out eventually most people who had a vasectomy will get PVP and have a hormone imbalance. I had mine reversed with an extremely painful surgery and so far has fixed the issues. BE CAUTIOUS GETTING A VASECTOMY!!!
The experience descibed above is the best case scenario. Im 3 weeks post surgery. Still have soreness and discomfort. Wearing an athletic supporter is absolutely necessary. Im assuming mine was the worst case. I had severe bruising and pain for the first 10 days. Icing it every hour with a bag of peas helps.
Im fine now. No side effects. It was very sore for about 2 months then it tapered off pretty quick. I wore an athletic supporter 24/7 for 10 weeks. I would still recommend the procedure.
I had one two days ago and the pain is really quite manageable. In fact I haven’t really used any kind of pain killers. So far it’s just like the guy said, you kind of just know you had something done. The only time I really feel any pain now is when I’m bending down or going from sitting to standing and the reverse
@@PANOS5656 yeah fine. I actually had a couple of bad days after I wrote this comment. I made the mistake of not wearing the right underwear. If you get one I’d really suggest you buy some briefs and wear them all the time. Including when you sleep
@@tonyaguilar2151 I had no restrictions from The doctor on that mate. I didn’t have a shower on day 1, but did on day 2 and so on. Just pat dry the area. Don’t drag the towel across it
Im so glad both of these guys were so comfortable in front of the camera that it convinced me to get a vasectomy... yeah im being facetious. Maybe there is a place for actors in this world. Because this wasnt the most comforting video ever.
7 years later, still pain that comes and goes. Most of the time I just live with it. 99 percent of the time I'm sure everything goes as planned with vasectomies. My Surgeon specialized in this and only does vasectomies and circumcision's, I'm sure I didn't get a botched job. I got the open ended, no scalpel surgery. PVPS is a real thing...
I had mine two years ago and I have pain in and off , but I’ve been researching and I think it’s backed up sperm , I’ve noticed that it happens when I have sex multiple times a week , I’ve tested the theory by not having sex for a week and then having sex multiple time a week and after a couple days the pain will come back, only why to get rid of it is to reverse it
What about side effects , hormonally, physiology wise? Did you notice phiycal changes on your body( hair, fat/muscle, voice......) And psychological/emotional changes, mood swings, agressiveness....?
I’m looking into having a vasectomy done but I’m pretty nervous about it, I’ve been doing some research and a lot of men say they have pain everyday from the procedure, NOTE: I’m 35 years old with 3 kids (1 boy and 2 girls)
I've had it done a bit more than a month ago. I was actually rather excited for it. Relatively painless as long as you aren't squeamish. Personally I had 0 pain from the second I got off the table. Some light disconfort here and there after a couple of days after I got off the pain killers. Overall pretty easy and I was back at it a week after. As long as you don't do dumb shit for a week like lifting or marathons you'll most likely be just fine. Note: if you care M21 no kids.
I had mine done a week ago, Relatively painless, slightly uncomfortable though, however I did have some aches for 3 days after and now its starting to be back to normal. The way I see it, A weeks discomfort is better than resetting the clock another 18years. M32 3girls.
@@MrSkitlesFiddles What about now? Is the pain completely gone? And did it affect the pleasure of sex or your erection in any way at all? I’m asking because I’m considering have one done for myself.
2. What about pain in testicle tubes (epididymis). If I don't ejaculate in couple of days I can feel the pain, so once you tie them down, wouldn't this be permanent feeling?
IIRC sperm in the tubes die, and as he said the sperm only make up about 5% of ejaculatory volume. It isn't like they're sealing up everything that allows you to ejaculate.
You’re correct, it has no where to go, and if you frequently have sex you’ll start to build up , and that’s when the pain starts, you would have to wait until the body reabsorbs the sperm that has no where to go
I was supposed to have one done local where I am. They prescribed one diasapam which did NOT sedate me. My blood pressue spiked to 180/120 and the doctor stopped after sticking me three times to put in the anestethic. They are going to sedate me in a week to do it but I am nervous that they arent going to sedate me properly.
@Wesley Hartland reason? (notice his deep breath before answering the question regarding sex life after? and also at the end "would you do again?" his answer is so objective, meaning it's possibly the same answer he would have given before the V. Lacks any emotion and excitement.) I think the V cuts a tube that nature put there. The tube is like plumbing and plumbing can hold pressure (sex drive trigger) V also cuts the tube; a connection that would have otherwise been there during sex, a connection with the woman.. I would not get the V again or recommend it to men. I think much of the human body is still being discovered and essentially many unknowns we can't explain regarding energy. "Scientists are viewed as genius until proven wrong"
"Just pull out" is too risky, semen exits even before the full ejaculation, so entering without any form of contraception or birth control is just tempting fate. You want to talk energy, that's what wireless connections are all about, you don't necessarily need a wired connection to make contact.
I’m shocked nothing was said about bruising; a good possibility of resulting pain that’s temp or permanent, momentary or during sex or constant. Also what about sperm antibodies.
@@hitmanekoyslnp8572 can confirm. Had it done dont have any pain. There is no scientific reason for the pain. I believe the current speculation is that its mental.
I had a vasectomy 6 days ago & I had bad bruising my left side. I also got a scrotal hematoma, blood leaks into your ball bag from a cut Vine & forms a small lump to a big lump, which I got. They're rare but do happen. The body naturally dissolve it over time.
Had mine @ 22 - not married + no kid's, 37 years ago. No big deal. Since I was single, my insurance at the time would NOT cover the procedure. 350 Dollars well spent.
Old comment, but $350 from 40 years ago is about $1,070 today. Most insurance nowadays at least partially (if not fully) covers it even if you are single, depending on which state you live in. But as long as the procedure was successful and you didn't have long term pain afterward, then the price would be worth it.
Four earlier studies also suggested a link between prostate cancer and vasectomy. Seven other reports, however, have found no connection. Several studies even indicate that men who undergo vasectomy live longer than other men. Many researchers believe that the Harvard studies' findings are simply the result of earlier and better diagnosis of prostate cancer among sterilized men rather than due to an actual increased risk of the cancer.
OK - I had it done almost 10 years ago and if I had to do it all over again - I would NOT. First, its rather painful. I don't know if I had a bad doctor, but the pain was a 9+ on a 1-10 scale. Next - and this is the bad part - Your orgasm is NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. Its like only 60% as good as it use to be. So, I would NOT do this if I could go back. I was lied to by the doctor.
Im53 years old I had mine done 23 years ago I just found out my 39 year old girlfriend pregnant 8 weeks now I guess sex 2,3 times a day to much I swim 3,4 times a week drive my motorcycle everyday past 5years my girlfriend sexy as hell so I'm not mad at all .shit happens
I did it a little over 14 years ago at age 27 and I noticed a big difference in the way ejaculation felt. Regardless of what the video said, it felt like I lost all my testosterone. The only time I feel normal is when I'm on testosterone now. The wrong feeling I get with ejaculation has never went away.
@David Sherman Same outcome with me. I told them and they acted like it was all in my head. This medical world we live in doesn't give a shit about men!
My husband had it done last month we have had sex few times now and the orgazoms are not the same at all its like he is half getting there all that intense feeling is gone now the sensations are very low now we are scared it won't come back
Vasectomies are often presented as safe and simple, but they also have many unpleasant side effects that are rarely acknowledged. Many men get vasectomies without being made fully aware of these risks. It's great if you're one of the many who are fine afterwards, but you should be prepared for the possibility you'll be among the unlucky 5-10% who end up with long-term chronic pain afterwards. Scrotal swellings, nerve damage, reduced libido and sensation, increased risk of prostate cancer, sperm granuloma (painful lumps in the scrotum), epididymal ruptures and autoimmune reactions (antibodies attacking your own sperm) are other possible complications. Moreover, there is no cure for any of this, just management, ie painkillers or more surgery that could also make things worse. Finally, while vasectomies are cheap and easily available, reversals are not.

3. I've done LASIK everybody was telling how not invasive and safe it is until I found myself blind for 2 weeks, and have nice side effects, so I no longer believe anything drs say how great and safe something is, there is always a cost related to messing with nature and they will tell you whatever you want to hear to make money on you... but may I'll do this, worst case scenario I will have one more thing done in life I will regret :)
am i the only one who does find the body language suspicious? i really don't want to have kids and think seriously about vasectomy, but looking at the faces and eyes of people who have done that aren't convincing at all. makes me almost think celibacy is healthier than that.
Getting a vasectomy was the worst decision of my life. I lost my wife and my man hood. I did it a little over 16 years ago at age 27 and I noticed a big difference in the way ejaculation felt and my overall energy immediately afterwards. I lost all my testosterone and it feels weird and dulled in a uncomfortable way when I ejaculate. I can't explain the feeling. You would have to feel it yourself. The only time I feel normal is when I'm taking testosterone. Which I had to start doing at age 29 because my levels were so low. The wrong feeling I get with ejaculation has never went away and I'm now 43 years old. This happens to other men too. Look it up before you talk trash. Please, please look it up before getting one!
Hey John, I believe sex can still be great after the V, it can take months or even years. Then still, it takes practice to relearn control. (not as good control) For me, the V killed the automatic sex drive trigger; once I do get aroused its game on. I read something interesting nobody talks about. Sperm can be extracted out of a 2-day-old dead bull from the seminal vesicle glands, not the testicles. This begs the question, Is sperm supposed to be there for other reasons? Other functions? I believe the tubing holds pressure, the pressure is the sex drive trigger; when the tubes are not there the pressure obviously can not build the same way. Like the urge to pee for example. Also the energy exchanged between a man and woman is overlooked, the tubes are a physical path, a connection, . so if the path is cut that connection is severed.. (not the end of the world perhaps, (if we want to think wider) lucky for us, a connection can be wireless).. V is not thoroughly understood at this time. I would not recommend it to men. From the interview. 02:36 (notice his deep breath before answering the question regarding sex life after?) and also at the end "would you do it again?" his answer is objective, possibly the same answer he would have given before the V. Lacks emotion and excitement.
@@Foralluhaterz Pulling out is unreliable, its 80% effective at best. Semen exits before full ejaculation and usually isn't noticed. Relying on the woman to fix the situation, either after the fact with pills or preemptively with spermicide, etc is beta. Putting plastic or other materials between your manhood and the woman is also beta.
Why should women get a vasectomy instead of men? Easy, any child that a female has during her marriage is her husband’s responsibility / obligation. That’s right men, you are now responsible for supporting that child…and chances are if you find out it’s not yours, it’s all downhill from there… she will take your house, your paycheck (alimony/ child support), and your family (You will become a visitor to your kids). Be smart men, have her do the vasectomy.
Wow who hurt you? Lol But seriously though, my man’s getting his done cause I’ve already birthed 4 children, so he can get a little snip so I don’t have to be on birth control that messes with me, and don’t have to have a much more complicated surgery.
@@James-gy8sj Well, you got the terminology wrong, the female equivalent is a tubal ligation, not a vasectomy. Women don't have vas deferens. Just the fact you got the basics wrong invalidates the rest of your comment.
