Vasectomy

[fantango]

Dh has agreed to this thankfully and the GP has referred him. Please could anyone tell me their partners' experiences? Was one day off work enough?

Depends on the job about a week unless it's very physical

A week?! He has a office job, he's sat down all day. Consultant said one day?!

My dh was only off for one day and he does a physically demanding job. He said there was more discomfort from the stitches than the actual op

My partner had 3 days off.

My DH has just had his initial appointment and the Dr said one week.

Its not major surgery but it's still going to hurt he needs to remember his tight underwear too my ex didnt wear pants and he has had nothing but trouble ever since

Hubby had it on the Thursday afternoon, he was back working on Saturday. Light duties but was absolutely fine

Husband had it done Friday back in Work Monday , he does a manual job.

Think dh had his on a friday so he had the weekend to recover. You dont need a week. Remember close fitting pants for after.

Dh didnt get stitches. He did bruise a little. Walked funny for a couple of days

www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/vasectomy-male-sterilisation/ this says 1 or 2 days

My DH had the week off but he could've gone back after one day, the sticky tape on the hair of his legs hurt him more than anything!

Friend of mine said he wished he had heeded the warning to rest and not lift heavy things the day after it was done as he came out in massive bruising and delayed healing. Other than that he said it was fine. DP is booking appointment this week.

anywhere from 1-2 days to long lasting/permanent pain.

Dh is a builder and needed three days off. Absolutely fine after that. It's been wonderful, the unexpected side effect of my not taking hormonal contraceptives is that it turns out I have a sex drive! Dh has never been happier
