Comment on Necessary post procedure care for vasectomy

  There are very few with continuous testicular pain for up to a year, and that group usually also experiences reduced erection quality. That’s the 2%

  The smaller 1% experience pain for the rest of their lives. And again, reduction or complete loss of the ability to have quality erections.

  I’m somewhere in the middle of those two. Just over a year of nonstop pain, I had pretty much accepted I’d never live without it. But then it went away. It still comes back occasionally, but it isn’t nonstop. And my erections aren’t what they used to be, they vary from completely awful to maybe 90% at best. I got my vasectomy at 35.

  There people who have to get it done a second time, but that wasn’t me. I’d rather not live anymore or never have sex again than do that again.

    Fuuck, sorry that happened to you and thanks for sharing, I was completely unaware of these side effects.
