There will be bruising for a week or 2, then back to normal. Had it done about a month ago. Really not bad at all.
If you allow time (3 days) and ice area...

So absolutely NOTHING but stay off your feet, ice your sack, and DO NOTHING ELSE for three days minimum. NO STAIRS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN TO ESCAPE IMMINENT DEATH.

A partner who no longer needs to worry about the hassle of birth control might show their appreciation when you are feeling better.

Ask the doc to throw in some enhancement surgery for a package price!

This, procedure doesn’t hurt at all and is quick. Definitely ice as much as they tell you and stay resting for like two days. I actually used bags of frozen peas wrapped in a light towel instead of ice, more comfortable. It took about 2 weeks before I felt 100%, but I wasn’t in a lot of pain after day 3 or 4.
Not really a big deal. Easy surgery.  
MBavaro : 6/12/2019 7:07 pm : link
You're a little sore afterwards, and the lack of activity afterwards is really just to keep from everything swelling.

HOWEVER, the first time you bust a nut after the surgery, it's going to feel REALLY WEIRD. At least that was my experience.

I had mine done in 2000, so I am sure the procedure has gotten better. Quick visit to the doctor- 45 minutes was all it took.

Ice packs for a few hours and I was shoveling snow that evening.

You can expect no more children!

Pro-Tip: Have some courtesy and trim your hirsute balls beforehand. The nurse doesn't want to revisit the shaggy 70's.
Alot of regret after it's done is my guess.

Odd thing though. My doctor puts his patients under. I'm not sure if it's a full blown anesthesia or the twilight one, but he prefers to put his patients to sleep. So I guess I will not be aware of what they do.

* Some minor soreness
* Rest for 3 days
* You will need to provide one or more "samples" to make sure it worked. It takes a while to get all the swimmers through the system, so I was told to be "active" quite a lot before providing the samples, post recovery.
* The peace of mind afterwards. Everything is a lot more fun when you don't need to worry.

worst is the smell of burning flesh. You won't forget that odor for many years.

The recovery isn't that bad. I got it done on a Friday, spent that afternoon and night watching sports on the couch icing as much as I could, and did the same Saturday and Sunday.

Monday I went to work and played in a baseball game that night. I was playing 2B and made a few plays in the field and had a couple of hits. Not even really any soreness.

I was fully stocked and just enjoyed my weekend.

You have to fire the gun like 15 times after before you can take your sample back to the doctor to be tested. Carte blanche.

That is odd in my opinion. I think most docs use a local anesthetic, it is not a painful procedure at all. My doctor is apparently the “best” in Detroit, he’s in his 70’s. He was like alright man, let’s get this done. Mind if I put on Apple Music while I do this? Nothing like having someone operating on your sack while listening to Ed Sheehan and Michael Buble.

Just make sure your insurance isn't going to try to nail you for an unnecessary $1600 anesthesiology charge like mine did.

the worst part of the whole experience was a month later when I had to deliver a cup of my own semen to the doctor's office. That's kind of an awkward feeling.

fkap : 6/13/2019 8:55 am : link
the pull out method was aka the porn star method (withdrawal), which seems to me would not be fun, and would be a good way to be called Daddy.

According to the guy who did mine, soreness is largely dependent on how easy it is to grab the vas deferens. Not all of them are convenient to grab.

That, and don't be stupid about resting. Not everyone needs the same amount, but better to err on the side of caution.

It amazes me how many guys are afraid to get one. They can't all have an aversion to needles and scalpels.
There is nothing quite like the feeling,,,

thats the biggest piece of advice i can give. You will feel ok, my dad stacked a cord of wood the day after and he was carrying grapefruits for week because of it.

...in a room with a couple of nurses and doc sticking me with pointy things in the balls, wasn't kinky, but I know full well my penis is NOT obedient and that would've been embarrassing. It didn't happen though.

Anyone else get that?

One time, I had a little lump, so I went for a testicular ultrasound. They put me in a warm, dimly lit room, on my back and the tech is a beautiful 20'something. WTF? 90% of the female medical professionals I deal with aren't attractive, but great, here we go. She uses WARMED LUBE. This was a challenge. Think of anything completely un-sexual. Defiinitely dangerous waters. Worse? She's unsure of something she's seeing so she goes to get her supervisor - EQUALLY attractive young lady. Now I'm Gallahad in Castle Anthrax.

Somehow I held it together, but I felt like I was being tested. Warmed lube, WTF?

When I got mine, the doctor said not to pick up anything heavier than a Sunday Paper. Well, my son was 18 months old at the time and wanted me to pick him up. Couldn't say no, so I did. Felt a twinge, no big deal. Until my nuts swelled up. Lots of ice after that, including surreptitiously icing my nuts at work in my cube.

So try not to pick up anything heavy for a bit.
