Album to ask you about failed/chronic pain after vasectomy

[Morechocmorechoc]

I've read threads on here where lots of people have had great experiences however lots of men have had a lot of pain after the procedure.

Would those who have experience of lasting pain mind telling me about the type of procedure please...I.e. was it open ended. Did they use a metal clip or sutures. Was it scalpel or non scalpel (modified) approach.

My DH is looking but obviously worried about lasting side effects so hoping to at least find the best technique as a starting point. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone who has given helpful comments. We have read medical studies but often they are bias in some way. It's helpful to hear real experiences. I wonder from the threads here sometimes if 10pc is really accurate or if it's much higher as some people are not reporting it.

I'm sorry to hear your DH is having such a bad time with it, that sounds horrendous. I was hoping it would be the lesser experienced consultants or technique, but it really does seem to be luck of the draw

So... You ask people for negative stories, then see that as more representative than the peer reviewed medically studies?

I could write a thread here asking people for their negative childhood experiences at Disneyland. Some would have them, and they would absolutely be real. Doesn't mean that you should doubt that most kids love it, nor assume it's therefore wrong for you.

Even the 10% number is not long term, it's a much lower proportion. I still think that if alternatives work, that's good too, but vasectomy on balance is cheap, effective, and reduces pregnancies in women who don't want them and cancers in women who have to take long term oral contraception (past the first decade the pill has a protective effect, but not if we're taking it into our 40s because male partners won't get a vasectomy).
