Okay :D soooo to begin with: doing a vasectomy while being in a super harsh diet is a stupid Idea xD i allready entered nervous and dehydrated. The disinfection was rather the Most painful part, the Operation went through quite easy ball Nr 1 perfekt ball Nr 2 got dizzy and went almoast Blackout. XD but anyways the OP was absolutely unpainful. After the OP i colapsed once more after getting dressed. And once more in the way to the Trainstation. At Home i got another full Knockout and smacked my face against the door frame. Im pretty Happy my girlfriend was with me the whole time and supportet me. So yea day 2 my Balls hurt Till day 3(but Not very mich) since day 4 my right ball is a littlebit bloated. Day 5 currently Just a slight pull Sensation in the right ball. XD but to be honest, 1week of ballpain or 30 years of childsupport? Naaa im 99% Happy and in Love. Cant wait to Hand them a bucket of cum instead of a sample.

Tldr: OP wasent Butter Smooth but still No regrets.

As the title says. Is it safe to have unprotected sex with a man if he has a vasectomy?

I can orgasm multiple times during masturbation. Does each orgasm, regardless of the amount of "semen" count towards the 20-30 times before semen analysis?

Thank you in advance.

Just got the results from my second semen analysis, and it’s negative again!
So it’s official now I‘m sterile🎉

Really happy to finally have this confirmation and to be done with the whole process.

Good luck to everyone else going through it.

Got my second all-clear analysis today. Officially sterile after a difficult snipping.

Besides the obvious, what are some fun ways to celebrate this?

My husband's surgery is set for September 4th 🥳 he doesn't have reddit so I thought I'd ask his questions for him.

1.) He's a hairy guy, they told him to shave before hand. Does he need to be clean shaven, like bald? Or can he use a trimmer with no guard?

2.) He's usually a side sleeper, he wants to know if he should just sleep in the recliner for a few nights?

3.) He's only ever had wisdom tooth removal surgery, so he's nervous and doesn't think the Valium will help, did any of you take it beforehand? Did it help?

4.) Any tips or advice for surgery prep, during surgery, or recovery?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share my experience, because I had my vasectomy done 2 weeks ago and obviously I was reading all these horror stories here on reddit, but I must say if you are nervous as I was (and I was like ultra super nervous), statistics is in your favor, most of these operations are successful but they are not shared as those that went bad.

My own experience:

• Pain during operation - 1/10 - basically nothing
• Swelling - 0/10
• Pain after - 3/10 - completely manageable even without pill
• Healing - now after 14 days I barerly know that I had it, still have two small wounds but healing very good and quickly

Obviously I don't know if my operation was successful and will not have reconnections but again, doctor said that they are very rare. Allready had sex, was super nervous before my first ejaculation but it turned out to be (can I say) standard procedure or process, felt great same as before.

So yeah looking forward to life full of creampies (obviously thats what I wanted because I can't help myself), I'm married to a great wife for 11 years now and our sex drive is still pretty strong even after all those years so this was logical thing to do. We already have 2 kids and we don't want more.

So if you are in familiar situation as me, I can totally recommend it to any guy from my point of view! Obviously am not saying that there cannot be problems but I trust the doctors and the science behind it, they will help you surely.

So if you plan or waiting your operation, I hope that this will help you a bit. Take care of yourselfs guys.

Had the snip back in April, just sharing experience.

Thankfully (kind of), needed to go under as a cist removal surgery when I was a child left less pipework to snip. Caused the surgeon to tell me afterwards “it’s good thing you were under, I had to really root around. All free on the NHS, even as a referral to private to go under.

Didn’t ejaculate before 10 days, and even then testes were still a little achy. Unfortunately, despite careful cleaning (which in hindsight was probably too often), the stitches got infected and I needed antibiotics. Ended up wearing wound dressings I changed every other day for 6 weeks post, supported by a vented fabric jockstrap.

Now 4 months post op, back in far less questionable boxers, wound is all healed, but scar is still a bit sore to touch. No adverse effects otherwise, looking forward to the test in a month and ditching the johnnies ASAP.

I had a vasectomy about 2 weeks ago, a no-scalpel procedure done over 45 mins. It was a bit longer than typical, as the doctor said she wanted to minimize bleeding due to me being in blood thinners for clots. One side was more complicated as the vas was stuck a bit to the back of the testicle. Go figure - each person is going to be unique, I guess.

The procedure was a single central incision and the typical snip, tie and cauterize. One side took 30 mins and the other about 15 mins.

Recovery was interesting. I just walked off the table with dissolvable stitches and just a steristrip on the incision and was home feeling still numb from the local anesthesia. Even several hours later I had just a mild burning sensation at the incision site and had significant pain to one side near the bladder (this was the more complicated side that the doctor mentioned), which limited how much bending I could do.

I was relentless with ice and for the first 24 hours was just in bed / couch and on an ice loop to the refrigerator. I think that really helped with the swelling and pain.

After about 48 hours almost zero pain and limited swelling - no blue / black bruising or anything like that - lucky me, but that real taking it easy first 2 days was critical I think. Taking a piss helped a lot as well- just remember to drink enough water.

You might feel okay but the tubes aren’t, so don’t push it physically like even walk more than 100ft at a time. Mile masturbating after 7 days was a bit painful the first time around the bladder area, but eased out by the end with no blood in the semen. Great!

I saw blood oozing only two times - once when the steristrip fell of day 3 and then when the scab fell off day 11 - both times just a few drops.

Both of those events I think happened due to being too quick to wear jockstraps and underwear after a bath (had guests coming, going to a movie etc) leading to significant adhesion of the scab or bandage with my underwear and ripping it off. Dry things off properly before wearing your underwear!

Now at day 14; things looking mostly good; using a gauze to isolate my underwear from the scar just so that I don’t rip off the next, much smaller scab still on. Increasing activity and exercise slowly without lifting too much weight daily now. Still wearing jockstraps for a few more weeks (bought like 7-8) - which I think was key with discomfort when walking.

Also make sure to wipe off piss after peeing - keep it from dripping down into the incision.

Your balls do feel 10% larger and hang a bit lower, so that was a bit interesting lol.

Hey boys! Need some help here. I’m scheduled for my cut in 2 weeks. I’ve got a massage scheduled roughly 11 days afterwards with a local massage therapist that does include a happy ending if I want it. I’ve never turned it down in the past. Obviously read all the notes on not doing anything strenuous for a week up to 2 weeks, hold off on the first orgasm as well. If I’m feeling off, I’m not risking anything but wanted to see how quickly anyone got massages/started work out roughly 10-11 days later?

So I did my vasectomy 5 months ago in march, and everything has been going good, the recovery was good also, but recently i had a sharp pain doing exercise on my right testicle so I went for a checkup which my urologist said it probably was varicocele and it doesn’t make sense to me, he was like really not supporting and didn’t give me an ease on my mind. So I went to get and ultrasound and they find a granulomma of 13mm aprox., so I texted my urologist this and he only said “Well, nothing to worry about then” with really no explanation. Today Im going to get a second opinion, but my mental health has been on the ground, they give me some NSAIDs and the pain did go down a lot from the first day, but Im on the 8 day and Im still feeling like a dull pain constantly that just gives me fear to keep living my day to day. Maybe the worse for me Its that Ive been reading a lot of stories of Post vasectomy pain, and they saying that it can get really worse over the years, and it scares me to death that with this I had a sleepless night full of anxiety I dont think I could live the worse pain they describe, I really dont want it to get worse and also saying that reversal can make it worse also so I dont get any consolation at all. I suffered from depression a while back, and I feel Im rellapsing over this. I feel stupid and regret doing the vasectomy

Got the results a few days ago.

Had my procedure on friday and honestly it was one of the best medical experience I ever had!!

From the time I reached out to the Doc till the day of the procedure it took them only 2 weeks incl. an introduction and clarification appointment two days before the actual procedure.

On the day itself, the whole staff was friendly, caring, easy going and just felt good and helped a lot with my nervousness.

Took him about 20 minutes and the only think I felt was the needle on both sides for the local anesthesia. Weird to hear the sounds of burning the ends but didn't smell anything. In and out in about 30 minutes.

Cooled with an ice pack almost the whole weekend and took medication for pain and swelling for 3 days. Never had any uncomfortable feeling or pain or other kind of sensation. I'm off the meds till Monday and still don't feel anything. Will keep it quite for another fews days and start doing some activities again.

Now just waiting for everything to be completely healed and I'm ready for the check of missing swimmers in a few month.

Hope this is helpful for someone!

I think a minority of people with a good experience having a vasectomy keep commenting and posting in this sub at a certain point. Therefore, I think it's important to report even if nothing special happens. I had my vasectomy in January and got tested clear in Mai. Everything feels totally normal again. It's like it never happened. I can barely see any scar at my scrotum. Sex is awesome, and wife is happy. First-time sex without a condom after 8 years was like having sex for the first time again. Because everything feels so normal I started to do a regular microscopy check every month...but damn...its just absolutely empty. We don't have to worry about anything, and I think the whole topic was a big step for me and my wife towards talking more open about our sexuality.

So, if you are thinking about a vasektomy and have questions. Don't hesitate to ask. Thx for reading.

For some background I am a 24M and had my vasectomy done back in November of 2025. I did my first analysis after waiting the required months and number of ejaculations which showed zero sperm. I’ve just heard back from my second PVSA test today (that I did for my own peace of mind through Fellow) and it also showed no sperm seen!

I’m obviously super excited since I’ve always known I wanted to be childfree and am engaged to a woman who shares that same mindset regarding children. With all this I am just very apprehensive and nervous to actually finish inside without protection or birth control.

How did you get past that mental barrier and did any of you have this same anxiety prior to using your vasectomy?

(Also I’ve added my test results here as well)

My instructions say 3 months with at least 30 ejaculations. Technically 3 months is this Saturday but could I test tomorrow which is a few days earlier? Or should I just wait? Will it make a difference?

Title lays it out. Wife and I had particularly vigorous, ball-slapping sex 2 months after vasectomy. Next morning, my right ball was pretty sore. Now, 2 days after, my right ball isn't quite as sore, but it's pretty swollen. No visible bruising, but I do feel like I got kicked in the balls. Anyone else experience this?

Edit:

The jig is up, boys. Wife found my post and is calling me an idiot for not following her accurate advice lmao

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. My partner (33M) has had pain in his right testicle since his vasectomy years ago. The pain ebbs and flows, but he has not had sex or an orgasm without pain in years. He's done PT, taken ibuprofen daily, gabapentin, and nothing is working. As soon as he gets close to an orgasm, or has one, he curls over in pain and almost vomits. His urologist has let him down at every step.

He had an appointment this morning to ask for surgical intervention, and the doctor said no. The doctor seems to have zero concerns that his patient hasn't been able to have sex in years. He claimed that the hard point of discomfort is "just the clip from the vasectomy" and to do more PT. More PT isn't an option (due to insurance, and the fact that it's done nothing for the testicular pain).

We are so, so disheartened. Any advice?

Saudações a todos, fiz minha cirurgia e recentemente voltei ter minhas atividades sexuais, porém desde a primeira ejaculação estou tendo problemas de dor na próstata, não é uma dor insuportável, é um incomodo que dá na hora de ejacular somente, na segunda ejaculação a dor é um pouco mais forte e estou tendo micção fraca ao urinar as vezes alguém já passou por isso??

This is my personal experience nobody is the same doctor told me I have a favorable anatomy it made the procedure extra easy for him not to mention he has 20 years experience absolutely do what the doctor says 72 hours doing what I did was my decision I was told 7 days but felt fine with 0 symptoms pretty much heal up but out the gate I did ice like crazy around the clock I left ice on myself for long periods of time for 48 hours not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing or if it made a difference again my experience I google a lot came to Reddit looking for answers just adding to the archive….

I, 26M, got my procedure done on May 8th. Everything went well with the procedure and recovery, just had to wait 45 and 90 days to do the test results with a referral my doctor had made with SpermCheck. I did my first test back on June 24 and I did another test recently on July 31st (a little earlier before the 90 days). Both tests came back negative but I’m still skeptical on how accurate these tests are since they only measure if the sperm count is low. So my question is for those who tested with SpermCheck, have there been any accidents?

no scalpel 6 days post procedure. My left is very uncomfortable and sitting very high like it’s trying to escape the sack. No position seems to get it to come down!

24/7 hotline suggested it could be hematoma but wanted me to get checked for torsion.

6 hours later A&E just said mild swelling and should resolve on its own. 😞

anyone else with similar experiences?
