My DH had a vasectomy a week last Tuesday and is still in a lot of pain. We've been googling about post vasectomy pain (PVP) syndrome this morning and it doesn't look good.
Whilst we realise at this stage, a certain amount of discomfort is to be expected, he has been exchanging stories and experiences with friends over the past couple of days, and none of them experienced this...
He has pain in his tube in his groin area ...can't remember the medical name for the tubes. Anway, when the procedure was being done, he felt a tugging pain, and this pain is worse now than it was after the op.
It's seems almost medieval, when there are options for laser procedures these days, but he had the scalpel method.
The consultant also didn't have an assistant that day, as she had broken her arm, so it was a one man job..WTAF?
On the internet we've read horror stories about guys being in pain for the rest of their lives, not being able to have sex or even ejaculate, etc, etc.
Anyone have similar experiences (good or bad) that they can share? Currently can't contact the consultant as he's not available.
Can't stay online as have to go out, but will read any responses asap.
TIA for anyone who reads and replies.
