Hi, I came on to say "don't worry about the procedure, it's no big deal" because that's how mine was about 17 years ago shortly after our son was born. My wife had 1 terrible experience after the other with birth control so I agreed getting snipped was our best option.
Did it on a Fri after work, was less than an hour, no stitches, went home slept alot over the weekend, had very minimal pain, went back to work on Monday. Followed all the instructions and used the bag of peas and everything was fine.
The worst part was having to leave my deposit to be tested afterwards, (making sure there no more swimmers) which was just in the bathroom of the lab in the lobby, not the worst place I've done it I guess but for sure not the best. Haha!
The whole thing for me was not a big deal at all but very very sorry to read the stories of the guys whose experience was not good.
I had the procedure done in the hospital years ago, after we were advised not to have any more children to my wife's health..
The doctor was a urologist, and worked quietly and quickly as I lay exposed after the aesthetic
Two small incisions, he found the tubes and after cutting he cauterised the ends to prevent reconnecting, the a couple of stitches.
I followed the advice and had a bit of pain , but no complications
Once the test was cleared it was easy to get back to enjoying sex again without anything to worry about.
Not had any further problems.
I did have a few issues more than a month after the procedure. I was doing lots of leg exercises to get ready to go skiing, lots of squats, lunges etc. It caused an infection inside the scrotum where the wound was, my sack blew up to the size of a grapefruit, very painful and sore. I had to see a Doctor and had some medication to reduce the swelling and heal the infection, it was not fun. Was all good in a week or so, working as normal and I got to go skiing too.
This was my fault not the procedure, I over exercised when I should have taken things more easily. There is a lesson there for others, listen to your Dr.!! They know stuff .... haha.
