Posted: 12/23/07 - 05:59 Post subject: Recovery following a vasectomy after 8 days ...
I'm a 38 year old healthy male and I have just had a vasectomy.
I generally have a high pain threshhold generally not having injections when having fillings at the dentist and I felt the 2 local anesthetics which lasted few seconds. You feel the vas clamping under local which is wierd.
I been having a cramping sensation which feels a bit like a minor hernia in the stomach and a infection along the groin area and a headache in the testicle area like when you eat a ice cream fast for a lengthy period of time. When having sex it felt very sensitive along the groin and vas. It has been 8 days and I still feel awkward however my 6 year old son stepping on my left testicle was not beneficial on the 3rd day.
Every person is likely to have a different experience, however be warned it was not a walk in the park!
I tried going to work on the 4th day after the op and it was a silly option which I delayed up until today. Not everyone sails through this simple procedure. I have an infected left vas and currently have 2 weeks of antibiotics treatment. So don't expect miracles however you may be lucky. I currently feel like my right testicle is a free agent and will most likely seek professional opinion on this? I hope this blurb helps others, Merry Xmas...
