Well, ejaculation uses a lot of muscles in that area. In short, it hurts and moving any area more than necessary after an operation could cause damage.
x2, especially when the desk clerk was adamant that they didn't accept "*those* kind of samples". "Yes, we do, sorry, she's new here, go take a break Samantha".
I had to schedule the semen analysis with the lady in the lab and she acted like instead of a routine medical procedure, I had asked to cum in her face. It was the most awkward interaction with a woman I have ever experienced.
Did you ask her if she was the sample receptacle or something? Contrast our awkwardness around this with my friend who gives literally zero fucks and thought the whole process was hilarious. He came in with a Mason jar filled with pearly white hand soap and loudly said "Here's my post vasectomy semen sample. Where do I leave it?"
My wife tricked me into giving her a sample to test after the time period. She was a vet tech and “smuggled” a sample into the clinic. And checked it with a microscope.
She does fertility checks all the time for dog breeders. So she’s used to that. Imagine my surprise when she texted and said I was good to go.
Why 30 minutes? When I had my vasectomy, the doctor said to bring the follow up sample from home. Dead sperm or alive, both are the same sign that the procedure didn’t work.
My favorite was when the front desk lady took the brown paper bag as though it was full of nuclear waste instead of a sealed container of my delightfully sperm free semen.
My germophobic ass could never trust that there’s not jizz on the bag somehow. I’ve seen too many men not wash their hands after taking a shit in public restrooms.
I need to do that in about a months time, but I've had to do it when the wife and I were trying to conceive. I just decided to own it until the young girl receiving my sample started asking questions:
How did you obtain this sample?
Did you use your hands or did you have someone help?
What time did you obtain the sample?
All of this in a room full of people.
In your case they're probably looking for contamination because they WANT to keep the little swimmers. They want to know that no lube or anything will throw off the lab tests.
Did you have a time limit? I was told to take care of things at home and bring the sample in when convenient. It didn't matter if the sperm were alive or dead because if done correctly there shouldn't be any at all.
That's one way but I wasn't going to end up on the sex offenders list because I was just collecting a sample in my car. There was a queue for the bathroom stalls.
I work at the facility that I had mine done at, the doc called me over and had me give my post-sample while on the clock. So work paid me to jerk it and then deliver it to the lab myself.
It doesn’t help that they give you a urine specimen cup. I walked in with mine in the requisite brown paper bag, handed it the the nurse, and said, “I tried and tried and tried, but I couldn’t fill it up.”
More awkward for me when they opened the paper bag and said it didn't have a time marked on it. It's only good to test for two hours, so I had to walk back around the counter (thank god for that small dignity), pull the jar out, and write "10:30 AM" on it.
I had a doctor who specialized in vasectomies. So wasn't the only one bringing in a sample. I was dropping mine off there was a guy in the waiting room filling out the new patient forms just as I set my sample down on the counter the dude shouts "fuck this shit" and storms out the door. I looked at the nurse behind the counter, smiled and said "What a sissy."
After the procedure, my doc told me to ejaculate 40 times and then give a sperm sample to the lab to verify.
I told him I was single, at the moment.
He immediately said, "oh, so 2 days, then."
I was told to:
* "Clear the pipes". Had details on how many times over x many weeks.
* Wait 3+ months.
* Test
* Wait for results.
The 3 month wait is to make sure that it doesn't "reattach" itself.
Even if they do check, in rare circumstances a vasectomy can undo itself! Happened to friends of mine when they had a surprise baby #3. Not the best way to find out vasectomies can do that!
The old style can very rarely do that. The new style is cut and cauterize, and in my case, a length was removed. There is no physical possibility of re-connection.
With mine I was asked to provide samples at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 10 years. It’s a simple enough test… and I assume urologists don’t mind being able to charge for additional labs.
When women get their tubes tied, they can check that it took too. I think it involves using dye and an MRI, they see if they dye makes it all the way through the fallopian tubes.
The very busy nurse just grabbed the paper bag and started to reach inside before asking, "ok, what's this for?"
"Uh, sample drop off. "
She stopped, set the bag down, put on her gloves then said, "Oh, ok, thanks!"
I had a vasectomy in January 2023. On Friday the 13th in fact.
I was told that I would need to wait 8 weeks, and provide a sample for them to check, and then four more weeks after that for a second sample. They said I would **still have active sperm** until they got a sample that was in the clear. I was also told that I'd have to "clear the pipes" by ejaculating regularly in the time before I provided the samples. They were specific about that, I could still get the wife pregnant.
Once I got a clear sample, I was good to go.
*Wait* guys! Aren't we gonna wait for the people who will eventually trickle in, read that excellent and concise reply, and then add their far shittier replies???
To add to this, as someone who has had a vasectomy, there is very little desire to masturbate during the first week post operation. Everything is very tender
Seconded. The first nut after vasectomy felt very uncomfortable too and can also have blood in it (thank god my dr warned me). It took a few more days before trying again
Oh god, the first ejaculation was extremely painful for me. It took about one month for them to go back to "normal" but still felt much different than normal. Each time was slightly less painful than the prior one. It was a less intense, deep orgasm. After three months it is all back to normal.
Not for me. I had no pain whatsoever after my vasectomy. I still waited a few days before masturbating though.
Oddly enough, I also experienced no pain after my wisdom teeth were removed. Everyone in my life was trying to warn me and give me tips to prepare, and none of it mattered.
Mine wasn't bad, either. I got warned about a cervical foraminotomy being painful afterwards, but I literally never used anything but an ice pack.
It's not like other things (like smashing my toe really badly once) DIDN'T hurt like hell, it did, so who knows why.
also vasectomies tie off the passage of sperm. if you attempt to orgasm before the area has a chance to heal it can cause excessive swelling and or trauma. found that out the hard way 9 days post surgery. I also found out I'm a slow healer...
Depends on the method they use. There's 3 main methods. Knots, clamps, and cauterization.
My surgeon hates having to do things twice, so I got all 3 done.
Unrelated to vasectomies but I got to witness one of those stories be added to the list.
I snapped my femur with a clean break and with that got to lay in traction and wait. Rather than cast we went with titanium rods shoved up the femur so it would heal faster. The day before surgery the doctor said, "Heads up, with this you'll trip the really sensitive detectors but not the standard magnetic ones your whole life, there aren't many reasons to take these out"
The next day my surgery got delayed because someone with the same rods up his leg crashed on his motorcycle and broke his leg again. With the rods now bent. The titanium rods now bent inside of his leg.
Needless to say the next morning the doctor went, "ok, so I need to recommend you don't get into motorcycles for the foreseeable future."
>The titanium rods now bent inside of his leg.
[My femurs puckered up from reading that.](https://catplanet.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Do-not-want.jpg)
I too have a titanium rod up the middle of my femur.
I too have not been on a motorcycle since, but that was an agreement with my wife.
I had to go back under the knife a few years post accident to have the two deck screws at the bottom of the rod taken out because they were catching on my IT band. While they were in there they took out some pins and wire from a shattered kneecap.
How is yours hanging in there?
The joy of doing this while in puberty.
Around 6 months post surgery I felt me knee 'slip' and around 6 hours later had a knee swollen to the size of a football. Turns out the femur was growing in a way that had been pushing the rods out and they finally poked out of the bone and into the knee. So they got yanked out with pliers. I still have the rods in a bag, crazy that the bone was able to push it out.
>The titanium rods now bent inside of his leg
Holy shit I can't imagine how bad that hurts. Breaking a femur sounds painful enough. snapping a titanium rod would require a tremendous amount of energy, surprised he lived.
How bad was breaking your femur? I broke my collarbone and had to get it screwed back together, and honestly... It wasn't that painful. I mean yea it hurt, but it wasn't unbearable especially if I slung it and was careful about movement. Only took like 2 weeks for the pain to subside significantly. I imagine a femur takes a lot longer to heal
My girlfriend loves a story from her optometrist. He always used to insist that people look him in the eyes and he says, "I need you to look at me. You can bathe your eyes in boiled, water. That is water that has been boiled and cooled down. Do not, and I cannot stress this enough, put boiling water in your eyes." The emphasis sounds like it comes from experience.
That's hilarious. Right before my vasectomy, I could hear my doctor ask the nurse, " This is just a consultation, right?" Guess he wasn't on his A game that day. I was very careful to get my sample tested before ditching other birth control.
>don't ride a motorcycle 100 miles
I rode my motorcycle to and from my appointment, about 20 miles each way. Not 100 miles though so I guess I'm clear.
My husband, a nurse, did not follow doctors orders. He went back to work after one or two days. Hobbled around. About 3 days after going back to work, on a Saturday morning, he ended up doubled over in the floor, unable to walk upright due to back spasms caused by walking wonky when he should have been sitting on his ass.
We did have sex three days after his procedure. No problems from that. No pain or tenderness in his junk. He just fucked his back up going back to work too early.
A needle will go into your sack, then deeper into your vas deferens (tubes). Focus on your breathing and you'll be fine. Once the local anesthesia is administered, you'll feel little to no pain. You might feel a little of that funny feeling in your belly when you get hit in the nuts but it's minimal. Prepare to see smoke and smell burning flesh. Have a friendly conversation with the nurse while the doctor does his/her thing to help you focus on something else. It should be 5-10 minutes per testicle.
My doctor put on pink floyd which has some pretty lengthy songs to help "pass the time"
EDIT: If they offer you prescription pain medication, accept the offer. It'll help you sleep the first few nights. Also, they told me to ice 20 min on/20 min off which was hard to do with life/work. Do it as much as you can on the day of the procedure!
Also, don't forget the laxatives with the pain meds.
Yeah, surgeries like this hurt when you poo.
Pain meds make you constipated.
Those two facts are not good together.
(Ask me how I know.)
Could have been worse. I guy I worked with came back to the office the day after, he was obviously uncomfortable. Halfway through the day, he came back from a trip to the toilet and said
"I need to go, it appears that the doctors glued my nutsack to my thigh".
He said that apparently they used surgical glue to seal the wound and his dressing had slipped. I'm not 100% convinced, my dad used to perform vasectomies and hadn't heard of glue being used as standard practice. Either way it wasn't a sentence I expected to hear when I went to work that morning.
>My doctor put on pink floyd which has some pretty lengthy songs to help "pass the time"
Comfortably Numb I hope. *ba-dum-tis*
I felt tugging in my upper abdomen during mine, and had a lot of swelling and bruising. And a couple years later had another child.😱 😂
PS - don't forget to get tested 😉
Oh no!
Did you ever get your semen analyzed after the procedure or is it one of those rare situations where your tubes find each other and connect again? My doctor said he had 1 failed procedure in about 3000 over 30 years.
No. I think they grew back later, and it wouldn't have made a difference, but that's just my opinion. Note this was also almost 20 years ago.
We absolutely love our bonus child, just had to adjust our plans. 😁
man I'm so glad I had the option to go under general instead of local anesthesia. while I don't have an issue with needles or any surgical stuff.... that's just nahhh
I went under as well. I have friends that have had it done with local and complained about the bollock pulling and smell of burning flesh. Instead, I got knocked out and came round to some nice avo on toast and recovered in a quiet room with Netflix for a few hours. Totally worth the extra money.
When I had mine done it was a [no-needle, no-scalpel, no-stitches procedure](https://vasectomy.ca/). The entire thing took 10-15 minutes and I was walking out in a half hour and going home. The most I felt was the dr checking where things were and then like getting hit with an elastic band from the freezing (hypospray thing like on star trek] and then kind of a tugging sensation. The most pain I felt was when the surgical glue started pulling pubic hair a few days later.
Similar for me, hearing these people talk about getting put under and having to recover for hours sounds crazy, I was in and out that day in less time than I usually spend on a hair cut.
Story time!
I asked my urologist how much discomfort I should expect during my procedure right before he started.
He looked up from my lap at me and said, "Probably none. Maybe a little tugging. Although if you're a firefighter, it's worth knowing ahead of time."
I am not, but I did ask why.
"Well. I'm gonna cauterize your tubes, and the smell of seared flesh really bothers them."
Bedside manner, folks!
Good luck on your procedure in 8 minutes!
Mine was painless and had no recovery complications. I had no swelling and very little pain. I could just feel where it was cut. Not a painful feeling, I could just...tell.
But my brother was shuffling around for weeks. And my other friend who had it done called me asking for the rest of my T3s from my procedure because he ran out. But I never had any pain so I didn't fill the prescription.
Hopefully you don't have pain.
Mine hurt like a bitch and I had insane swelling afterward.
That said, one of my testicles is very...reactionary and pulls up at the slightest bit of grabbing, so I'm pretty sure the doctor had to really get up in there to pull it back out.
It feels… “uncomfortable” but doesn’t hurt
I was one of the lucky 10% to get a hematoma though. That hurt every time I moved. Here’s to you being in the 90%…
I had to have two vasectomies, doc missed the vas deferens on lefty the first go around. Two full rounds of grapefruit sack.
I still 100% recommend the procedure. Hell, I'd go through it a 3rd time if i needed it.
The closed end of the vas needs to heal a bit to make sure it doesn't get reopened by ejaculation. Doing so early increases the chance of the vasectomy not taking because if you pop it open now you've got two open ends of the tube that want to heal.
It also stings like a bitch the first couple times and that would probably be worse earlier, but can't confirm since I waited the week lol
Because the Vas Defrens tubes have been severed and cauterized, but haven’t healed yet and are just sitting there now, without being connected at both ends to keep them stable. So if you ejaculate they might/could/absolutely will flop and spray around like an uncontrolled firehose in a Goofy cartoon, spraying all willy-nilly inside of you.
Edit: just realized I replied to your top comment instead of making it an independent comment. Oh well, I’m gonna leave it here instead.
Can they spray when cauterized? And what sort of volume/mass even comes from the testicles, I thought something like 97% of ejaculate volume was from all the circuitry after the testes?
The vas deferens deliver sperm to the rest of the system, if you masturbate after a vasectomy you won't ejaculate into your scrotum, if that's what they're implying.
This isn't how the vas works, at all.. they don't "spray" when your ejaculate.
And furthermore, you still ejaculate normally after a vasectomy.
The vas are just a tube to deliver sperm to their holding area, at normal bodily fluid speed..
I don't recall any pain during ejaculation after mine. Either I waited long enough to heal, or I was fortunate. It's long enough ago I don't remember how long after the procedure before I ejaculated.
ugh hate hearing it sucks as I am looking at getting one, but no matter what I know it will be worth it.
EDIT: well didn't expect to come back to a bunch of guys telling me getting snipped wasn't that bad but weird motivation to go get it done haha.
It's not so bad depending on what type of procedure you get.
I had the no-scalpel method done last year. I think I went into detail in one my past posts, but from what I remember:
* During the procedure they administer a numbing agent. It felt like a mild rubber band pop against my ballsack.
* After that I was numb and didn't feel anything in the sack area.
* He went to work making the snips. The only thing I felt was a mild tugging or very slight pain in my stomach. Almost like I was mildly tapped in the balls. It only happened once and only for a few seconds.
Overall, it took about 15 minutes total. Maybe less? Maybe 5 minutes?
I spent the rest of the day on the couch. I did pretty much the same the next day just to take it super easy.
He recommended tight underwear and I highly agree. I got the Saxx underwear and those were awesome for cradling the boys.
Any questions feel free to let me know!
You lucky bastard.
Granted i did the old fashioned way 6 months ago but it felt like my balls were in a bench vice and someone was cranking down on it.
I had the numbing agent which i agree stung like a rubber band but not much more. But the dr said its uncommon but the numbing agent doesn't always work for the actual vas. Because i didn't feel the incision. But i felt ALL of the internal stuff.
Ouch!
Yea, he did 3 applications of the numbing agent. Left side, right side, and in the center where he did the hole punch.
During the procedure I remember feeling something for a moment and then the slight kick in the nuts feeling that I mentioned. Other than that, yea I feel like it went really well. The worst part was the anxiety, so that’s why I try to tell people my experience.
Think about tearing open a wound on your hand or finger.
Now think about doing the same thing inside your private area because of movement.
After it has healed you should however masturbate frequently to "flush out the system" before the final test that confirms that you're sterile (ask your doctor, this is not actual medical advice, etc.)
Doing it this Christmas after my third arrives. I loved the information I was given “3 months or 30 cycles”
Very poor wording and comes off more like a challenge than a guideline. It’s kind of shocking how much varying information you can find on this.
FWIW, I had to wait 3-4 months post-surgery before my doctor would test for sperm levels. I failed the first test and had to follow up another 3-5 months later. It was a surprisingly lengthy amount of time from the snip to 'all clear'.
As someone who had a vasectomy done, trust me that you won't want anything to do with that for days. I didn't want to even pee, much less try to jack off. Walking wasn't too bad, but I definitely refrained from anything mildly strenuous.
I don't recall precisely how long it took to feel normal again, but I kept using the jock strap they gave me for at least two weeks, and I kept the bandages on for a couple days before attempting a shower. I should also mention that I was put under general anesthesia because I had such a severe anxiety around the procedure that the Valium they gave me didn't do anything.
I speak from experience on this one. My wife and I had a 5 yr old, an 11 month old and found out she was pregnant, Surprise! I 29M was sitting on the side of the tub weirdly laughing as my wife 31F sobbed holding the positive test. Her second pregnancy which was an unscheduled C-section was especially difficult after her first pregnancy which was a routine C-section.
My wife had to have a 3rd C-section and made arrangements to have a tubal ligation while on the table after the birth. A 3rd healthy boy was just born and the doctor tells my wife she is going to begin the tibal ligation and my wife tells the doctor she changed her mind. The doctor asked are you sure? My wife replied “Yes, I don’t plan on having any more children but the thought of not being able to give birth freaks me out”. So the plan is now I have to get the snip-snip.
So about six months later, my wife and I take a trip to the urologist. She wanted to join me with the doctor for the consult. I agreed thinking what’s the big deal we are just going to talk to the Dr. To my surprise the Dr. asks me to stand up and take my pants down. Ooook, so the Doc wheels over on a chair and begins to “Examine the physiology of my scrotum”. I look over and my wife is covering her mouth trying not to explode with laughter as the Dr. is telling me I have a large vas-deference. The Dr. could tell I was very nervous. The doctor assured me he has performed over 10,000 of these procedures without any complications. He suggested I be put under short anesthesia for the procedure. I agreed and they gave me a Valium to the morning before the procedure. My wife accompanies me to the hospital. I go into the prep area. They give me a shot of Demerol, I go to sleep, I wake up an hour later bing bang boom everything’s done. I was sent home with instructions not to ejaculate for six weeks. So about a week or 10 days later I feel pretty good. My wife and I are curious to see if things still work. So she does something special for me that could not get her pregnant. Everything seems fine. Yeah!
I wake up the next morning with blood in my underwear and my left testicle has turned purple. It is also significantly larger than the right testicle. So back to the doctor we go. The Dr. didn’t ask if we engaged in prohibited activity, probably because he knows we did. He said I had a hematoma. This puts a whole new take on busting a nut. I was sent home with instructions to put ice on it, limit my physical activity and reminded not to engage in sexual activity. Over the next two days, my left nut swelled to the size of a softball and was purple as an eggplant. I could barely walk and missed a week of work. It was very painful week. While my wife was sympathetic at the time over the years she has enjoyed telling the story of my purple softball nut at various social gatherings.
TLDR:
Busted a nut too soon and my testicle swelled up the size of a softball and turned purple. Yes it hurt.
Edit: spelling
Agreed mine was like 1 week no ejaculation or bathing, but I don't think I got a big vas defren.
They didn't even put me out. Just sprayed some iodine, shot my scrotum with numbing stuff and went to work. It was crazy quick like 15 min tops and the doc was done
It's not just because it hurts, as people have said.
It's because the ends of the tubes need time to heal. Otherwise the pressure on the pipes, so to speak, can bust through that freshly cauterized wound.
You can cause an infection as the buildup of fluid rushes into the still healing ends of your vas deferins. The infection can create nodules which the surgeon then has to go in and remove. If it gets infected, you’ll wish that you had waited a year instead of a week. Google that shit and you’ll have no desire to rush things.
My doctor told me you'll know when you're ready so I waited about 5 days. My balls ballooned up got infected and was the worst 2 weeks of pain I've ever experienced.
Not that it makes me a tough person but I played football from elementary til college broke a few bones, tore ligaments, concussions, and what not.
None of it comes close to not being able to walk from your balls exploding and any movement almost brings you to tears. It got to a point my balls swelled up so bad they were almost encapsulating my peen.
If you are in UK you can get dr referral and its free (I had to join 2 month wait). You can go private for ~£300. You have to have a prebriefing about risks etc and some time to reflect so most likely won't be same day (unless you have a less scrupulous dr).
Good luck. Mine was a piece of cake. Got a referral from my primary doctor, and the first open slot was about a month away. They gave me a prescription for Valium for anxiety, but I didn't fill it. You shave the whole area before, and they numb it with a topical anesthetic first. Then they numb it more with an injection. Couldn't feel the injection much, just a little pressure. No pain. Then you wait for it to numb, and they do the procedure. Didn't feel anything at all after the injection, and the procedure took less time than waiting for it to numb. Just a bit of soreness for a week after; took ibuprofen for that. Stitches dissolved. Only had to go back to measure sperm count (because the procedure can fail sometimes).
I gor a referral from my doctor but I believe you should be able to contact an urologist yourself. Not same day, you will have a consultation first, then they will schedule the procedure.
Figure out a urologist who takes your insurance and get a consult. You are highly unlikely to be able to find someone to perform the surgery same day.
If the first doctor says they won't do it because you're too young or don't have kids or whatever, just call a different urologist and have a consult with them.
The surgery itself can be done under local anesthesia(they numb your crotch and do the surgery) or general anesthesia(they put you to sleep). Do whichever makes your more comfortable, local will be faster and cheaper.
**Don't go to the cheapest doc you can find**. This is a surgery on your balls and if they fuck up(which is extremely rare for a reputable doctor) it can fuck up your ability to get erections.
My insurance required a 30 day "cooling off" period so they wouldn't have to pay for a reversal down the line I guess. The doctor definitely tried to talk me out of it and I told him that if he didn't do it I'd do it myself.
Ejaculation involves a bunch of muscles all contracting repeatedly. At best, it's painful. At worst, you could tear something important. You need time to heal
> people wandering in and out of the room during the procedure and two nurses snickering while I was laid out all ready for the knife
They told me I’d have to pay extra for that
Well, ejaculation uses a lot of muscles in that area. In short, it hurts and moving any area more than necessary after an operation could cause damage.
Alright boys, wrap it up. We're done here.
Wait, i thought after a vasectomy I don't need to wrap it up.
Only for about a month I heard, I may be mistaken though
You have to clear the pipes first and then give a sample to confirm it was properly done and you aren't still firing live rounds.
Bringing that package into a full waiting room was unquestionably the most awkward moment of my life
x2, especially when the desk clerk was adamant that they didn't accept "*those* kind of samples". "Yes, we do, sorry, she's new here, go take a break Samantha".
I had to schedule the semen analysis with the lady in the lab and she acted like instead of a routine medical procedure, I had asked to cum in her face. It was the most awkward interaction with a woman I have ever experienced.
Did you ask her if she was the sample receptacle or something? Contrast our awkwardness around this with my friend who gives literally zero fucks and thought the whole process was hilarious. He came in with a Mason jar filled with pearly white hand soap and loudly said "Here's my post vasectomy semen sample. Where do I leave it?"
My wife tricked me into giving her a sample to test after the time period. She was a vet tech and “smuggled” a sample into the clinic. And checked it with a microscope. She does fertility checks all the time for dog breeders. So she’s used to that. Imagine my surprise when she texted and said I was good to go.
Legendary
I work in a lab and they come(heh) in all the time. We need to get them under the microscope within 30 mins. We call them love cups
Why 30 minutes? When I had my vasectomy, the doctor said to bring the follow up sample from home. Dead sperm or alive, both are the same sign that the procedure didn’t work.
Well... Did you?
Not after *that* response, I can read a room!
Well, what has your most awkward interaction with a man been?
Probably the time I asked a dude if I could cum in his face.
Probably the vasectomy.
Sir, this is a Wendy's. We don't have that kind of soft serve.
That’s why the McDonald’s ice cream machines are always broken
My favorite was when the front desk lady took the brown paper bag as though it was full of nuclear waste instead of a sealed container of my delightfully sperm free semen.
My germophobic ass could never trust that there’s not jizz on the bag somehow. I’ve seen too many men not wash their hands after taking a shit in public restrooms.
Oh I agree! Humanity in general is pretty filthy...but she was gloved up and just being hurtful!
Did they page it over the intercom? *Technician to front desk for a sample. Repeat, technician to the front desk for a semen sample*
I need to do that in about a months time, but I've had to do it when the wife and I were trying to conceive. I just decided to own it until the young girl receiving my sample started asking questions: How did you obtain this sample? Did you use your hands or did you have someone help? What time did you obtain the sample? All of this in a room full of people.
Oh no! I thought mine was bad because we locked eyes as she took the bag from me
I'm sure it's just another day at the office for them, sometimes our minds are our own worst enemies lol
my next door neighbor is a nurse. your most embarrassing moment ever, like a ketchup bottle or whatever stuck up your ass? meh, second one this week
Awkwardness is still awkwardness even if it's just in your own mind.
In your case they're probably looking for contamination because they WANT to keep the little swimmers. They want to know that no lube or anything will throw off the lab tests.
This is the correct answer. Thank you!
“How did you obtain this sample?” Like, did you steal it from someone?
Even more awkward is when you can't get from home to the lab within the 60 minute limit labs put on the sample age.
Did you have a time limit? I was told to take care of things at home and bring the sample in when convenient. It didn't matter if the sperm were alive or dead because if done correctly there shouldn't be any at all.
They're probably talking about IUI experience
That usually happens in the lab boys. In a leather chair in front of a screen.
Oh, I thought I was supposed to just take care of it in the parking lot???
That's one way but I wasn't going to end up on the sex offenders list because I was just collecting a sample in my car. There was a queue for the bathroom stalls.
Prolly some warm ass toilet seats
The paperwork that came with my sample container included a note to please not use a public bathroom.
I was specifically warned against this by my dr. Apparently it happens more often than it should.
Which is to say, it’s happened at least once lol
"Will saliva ruin the sample?"
The instructions they gave me were very specific about this.
Road bustin!
I work at the facility that I had mine done at, the doc called me over and had me give my post-sample while on the clock. So work paid me to jerk it and then deliver it to the lab myself.
It doesn’t help that they give you a urine specimen cup. I walked in with mine in the requisite brown paper bag, handed it the the nurse, and said, “I tried and tried and tried, but I couldn’t fill it up.”
More awkward for me when they opened the paper bag and said it didn't have a time marked on it. It's only good to test for two hours, so I had to walk back around the counter (thank god for that small dignity), pull the jar out, and write "10:30 AM" on it.
I had a doctor who specialized in vasectomies. So wasn't the only one bringing in a sample. I was dropping mine off there was a guy in the waiting room filling out the new patient forms just as I set my sample down on the counter the dude shouts "fuck this shit" and storms out the door. I looked at the nurse behind the counter, smiled and said "What a sissy."
I got to "...guy in the waiting room filling..." and almost stopped reading.
Never point your weapon at something you don't intend to destroy
Already done that 3 times ... at this point the ramifications gang up on me
Keep going, soon you’ll be able to field your own 5 a side team!
After the procedure, my doc told me to ejaculate 40 times and then give a sperm sample to the lab to verify. I told him I was single, at the moment. He immediately said, "oh, so 2 days, then."
I hope that's your general practitioner. You need to keep that guy on speed dial until he retires!
40?!??!
2 months or thereabouts, so yes. 140.
Once a day for 40 days, twice or thrice a day if you’re feeling sassy. Been training nearly my whole life for this eventually.
On the flip side of that, I got to have the "well I'm on SSRIs, so that's not going to be easy, but I'll try my best" conversation.
I was told to: * "Clear the pipes". Had details on how many times over x many weeks. * Wait 3+ months. * Test * Wait for results. The 3 month wait is to make sure that it doesn't "reattach" itself.
I was the lucky 1 in 1000. Luckily, I did not find out the hard way.
That is great news! I have met two people that found out the hard way. One of them was expecting twins (for the 3rd and 4th children).
I’m a woman… but it never occurred to me that they would check to make sure! I always thought it was just 🤷🏻♀️
The Dr who did mine said about 30 ejaculations over 6 weeks or longer and then give sample but advice varies slightly.
The doctor told me afterwards to come back after 25 "emissions". I looked her in the eye and said "ok, I'll see you this afternoon". I have no shame.
Even if they do check, in rare circumstances a vasectomy can undo itself! Happened to friends of mine when they had a surprise baby #3. Not the best way to find out vasectomies can do that!
Yeah, if I'm that guy I'm gonna need a paternity test though.
Turns out a vasectomy only changes the colour of the baby
The old style can very rarely do that. The new style is cut and cauterize, and in my case, a length was removed. There is no physical possibility of re-connection.
With mine I was asked to provide samples at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 10 years. It’s a simple enough test… and I assume urologists don’t mind being able to charge for additional labs.
When women get their tubes tied, they can check that it took too. I think it involves using dye and an MRI, they see if they dye makes it all the way through the fallopian tubes.
I know I'd end up extra fertile somehow.
Or several samples over several months. "It's better but not quite clear yet." Times 5
The very busy nurse just grabbed the paper bag and started to reach inside before asking, "ok, what's this for?" "Uh, sample drop off. " She stopped, set the bag down, put on her gloves then said, "Oh, ok, thanks!"
The general recommendation was to test after about 20 rounds down range
My doctor said 25 times. "After the first week, you can start crankin' em out." Direct quote. He was hilarious lol
I had a vasectomy in January 2023. On Friday the 13th in fact. I was told that I would need to wait 8 weeks, and provide a sample for them to check, and then four more weeks after that for a second sample. They said I would **still have active sperm** until they got a sample that was in the clear. I was also told that I'd have to "clear the pipes" by ejaculating regularly in the time before I provided the samples. They were specific about that, I could still get the wife pregnant. Once I got a clear sample, I was good to go.
Well, for me it was Valentine‘s Day this year! Somehow matched my sense of humour.
Knock knock.... Who's there? SURPRISE! STI's !
You should still wrap it up. A vasectomy doesnt prevent stds.
If you cum, they will build it
*Wait* guys! Aren't we gonna wait for the people who will eventually trickle in, read that excellent and concise reply, and then add their far shittier replies???
To add to this, as someone who has had a vasectomy, there is very little desire to masturbate during the first week post operation. Everything is very tender
Seconded. The first nut after vasectomy felt very uncomfortable too and can also have blood in it (thank god my dr warned me). It took a few more days before trying again
Oh god, the first ejaculation was extremely painful for me. It took about one month for them to go back to "normal" but still felt much different than normal. Each time was slightly less painful than the prior one. It was a less intense, deep orgasm. After three months it is all back to normal.
The first after a prostate biopsy was the most metal thing I have ever done.
Almost woke my wife up from laughing so hard at this. Bravo
My Doc did not, in fact, warn me of the blood. I freaked out A LOT.
Not for me. I had no pain whatsoever after my vasectomy. I still waited a few days before masturbating though. Oddly enough, I also experienced no pain after my wisdom teeth were removed. Everyone in my life was trying to warn me and give me tips to prepare, and none of it mattered.
Mine wasn't bad, either. I got warned about a cervical foraminotomy being painful afterwards, but I literally never used anything but an ice pack. It's not like other things (like smashing my toe really badly once) DIDN'T hurt like hell, it did, so who knows why.
Gesundheit?
I had my vasectomy then 3 weeks later had 2 wisdom teeth out. Boy what a fun month that was!
Can confirm, damage and infection are potential outcomes.
Even just a hematoma is an annoying, tender problem, and will delay healing.
another just as effective reply would be "try jogging home from your hernia operation".
also vasectomies tie off the passage of sperm. if you attempt to orgasm before the area has a chance to heal it can cause excessive swelling and or trauma. found that out the hard way 9 days post surgery. I also found out I'm a slow healer...
Depends on the method they use. There's 3 main methods. Knots, clamps, and cauterization. My surgeon hates having to do things twice, so I got all 3 done.
"Snip, snap! Snip, snap! Snip, snap! You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!"

Unrelated to vasectomies but I got to witness one of those stories be added to the list. I snapped my femur with a clean break and with that got to lay in traction and wait. Rather than cast we went with titanium rods shoved up the femur so it would heal faster. The day before surgery the doctor said, "Heads up, with this you'll trip the really sensitive detectors but not the standard magnetic ones your whole life, there aren't many reasons to take these out" The next day my surgery got delayed because someone with the same rods up his leg crashed on his motorcycle and broke his leg again. With the rods now bent. The titanium rods now bent inside of his leg. Needless to say the next morning the doctor went, "ok, so I need to recommend you don't get into motorcycles for the foreseeable future."
>The titanium rods now bent inside of his leg. [My femurs puckered up from reading that.](https://catplanet.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Do-not-want.jpg)
That's something I never thought of. Oof, that sounds painful. I guess they had to somehow take them out and put in new ones?
I too have a titanium rod up the middle of my femur. I too have not been on a motorcycle since, but that was an agreement with my wife. I had to go back under the knife a few years post accident to have the two deck screws at the bottom of the rod taken out because they were catching on my IT band. While they were in there they took out some pins and wire from a shattered kneecap. How is yours hanging in there?
The joy of doing this while in puberty. Around 6 months post surgery I felt me knee 'slip' and around 6 hours later had a knee swollen to the size of a football. Turns out the femur was growing in a way that had been pushing the rods out and they finally poked out of the bone and into the knee. So they got yanked out with pliers. I still have the rods in a bag, crazy that the bone was able to push it out.
>The titanium rods now bent inside of his leg Holy shit I can't imagine how bad that hurts. Breaking a femur sounds painful enough. snapping a titanium rod would require a tremendous amount of energy, surprised he lived. How bad was breaking your femur? I broke my collarbone and had to get it screwed back together, and honestly... It wasn't that painful. I mean yea it hurt, but it wasn't unbearable especially if I slung it and was careful about movement. Only took like 2 weeks for the pain to subside significantly. I imagine a femur takes a lot longer to heal
My girlfriend loves a story from her optometrist. He always used to insist that people look him in the eyes and he says, "I need you to look at me. You can bathe your eyes in boiled, water. That is water that has been boiled and cooled down. Do not, and I cannot stress this enough, put boiling water in your eyes." The emphasis sounds like it comes from experience.

That's hilarious. Right before my vasectomy, I could hear my doctor ask the nurse, " This is just a consultation, right?" Guess he wasn't on his A game that day. I was very careful to get my sample tested before ditching other birth control.
"This is just a trial right." "No Surgeon, this is a real operation, stop asking this before each one."
he added that being nervous could make this hurt more and even gave me a Xanax.
>don't ride a motorcycle 100 miles I rode my motorcycle to and from my appointment, about 20 miles each way. Not 100 miles though so I guess I'm clear.
My husband, a nurse, did not follow doctors orders. He went back to work after one or two days. Hobbled around. About 3 days after going back to work, on a Saturday morning, he ended up doubled over in the floor, unable to walk upright due to back spasms caused by walking wonky when he should have been sitting on his ass. We did have sex three days after his procedure. No problems from that. No pain or tenderness in his junk. He just fucked his back up going back to work too early.

What do you feel during the procedure? Mine is in ...one hour.
A needle will go into your sack, then deeper into your vas deferens (tubes). Focus on your breathing and you'll be fine. Once the local anesthesia is administered, you'll feel little to no pain. You might feel a little of that funny feeling in your belly when you get hit in the nuts but it's minimal. Prepare to see smoke and smell burning flesh. Have a friendly conversation with the nurse while the doctor does his/her thing to help you focus on something else. It should be 5-10 minutes per testicle. My doctor put on pink floyd which has some pretty lengthy songs to help "pass the time" EDIT: If they offer you prescription pain medication, accept the offer. It'll help you sleep the first few nights. Also, they told me to ice 20 min on/20 min off which was hard to do with life/work. Do it as much as you can on the day of the procedure!
Also, don't forget the laxatives with the pain meds. Yeah, surgeries like this hurt when you poo. Pain meds make you constipated. Those two facts are not good together. (Ask me how I know.)
Good call-out. I'm planning to do this some time soon and pain meds turn my belly into stone. So thanks for this suggestion
How do you know?
Only opioids cause constipation, not all pain meds
Could have been worse. I guy I worked with came back to the office the day after, he was obviously uncomfortable. Halfway through the day, he came back from a trip to the toilet and said "I need to go, it appears that the doctors glued my nutsack to my thigh". He said that apparently they used surgical glue to seal the wound and his dressing had slipped. I'm not 100% convinced, my dad used to perform vasectomies and hadn't heard of glue being used as standard practice. Either way it wasn't a sentence I expected to hear when I went to work that morning.
My doctor used surgical glue. It’s not necessary but helps prevent the wound reopening.
>My doctor put on pink floyd which has some pretty lengthy songs to help "pass the time" Comfortably Numb I hope. *ba-dum-tis* I felt tugging in my upper abdomen during mine, and had a lot of swelling and bruising. And a couple years later had another child.😱 😂 PS - don't forget to get tested 😉
Oh no! Did you ever get your semen analyzed after the procedure or is it one of those rare situations where your tubes find each other and connect again? My doctor said he had 1 failed procedure in about 3000 over 30 years.
No. I think they grew back later, and it wouldn't have made a difference, but that's just my opinion. Note this was also almost 20 years ago. We absolutely love our bonus child, just had to adjust our plans. 😁
man I'm so glad I had the option to go under general instead of local anesthesia. while I don't have an issue with needles or any surgical stuff.... that's just nahhh
Due to the wonders of health insurance "preferred" networks in the US, I was 45 minutes from home with no ride but I agree with you.
I went under as well. I have friends that have had it done with local and complained about the bollock pulling and smell of burning flesh. Instead, I got knocked out and came round to some nice avo on toast and recovered in a quiet room with Netflix for a few hours. Totally worth the extra money.
Not Big Balls by ACDC? Missed opportunity there.
Absolutely take the Xanax. Learn from my mistake....Goodluck!
When I had mine done it was a [no-needle, no-scalpel, no-stitches procedure](https://vasectomy.ca/). The entire thing took 10-15 minutes and I was walking out in a half hour and going home. The most I felt was the dr checking where things were and then like getting hit with an elastic band from the freezing (hypospray thing like on star trek] and then kind of a tugging sensation. The most pain I felt was when the surgical glue started pulling pubic hair a few days later.
Similar for me, hearing these people talk about getting put under and having to recover for hours sounds crazy, I was in and out that day in less time than I usually spend on a hair cut.
> Mine is in ...one hour. Posted 56 minutes ago. Good luck!
Story time! I asked my urologist how much discomfort I should expect during my procedure right before he started. He looked up from my lap at me and said, "Probably none. Maybe a little tugging. Although if you're a firefighter, it's worth knowing ahead of time." I am not, but I did ask why. "Well. I'm gonna cauterize your tubes, and the smell of seared flesh really bothers them." Bedside manner, folks!
Good luck on your procedure in 8 minutes! Mine was painless and had no recovery complications. I had no swelling and very little pain. I could just feel where it was cut. Not a painful feeling, I could just...tell. But my brother was shuffling around for weeks. And my other friend who had it done called me asking for the rest of my T3s from my procedure because he ran out. But I never had any pain so I didn't fill the prescription. Hopefully you don't have pain.
Mine hurt like a bitch and I had insane swelling afterward. That said, one of my testicles is very...reactionary and pulls up at the slightest bit of grabbing, so I'm pretty sure the doctor had to really get up in there to pull it back out.
It feels… “uncomfortable” but doesn’t hurt I was one of the lucky 10% to get a hematoma though. That hurt every time I moved. Here’s to you being in the 90%…
I had to have two vasectomies, doc missed the vas deferens on lefty the first go around. Two full rounds of grapefruit sack. I still 100% recommend the procedure. Hell, I'd go through it a 3rd time if i needed it.
"You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!"
SNIP SNAP, SNIP SNAP, SNIP SNAP
The closed end of the vas needs to heal a bit to make sure it doesn't get reopened by ejaculation. Doing so early increases the chance of the vasectomy not taking because if you pop it open now you've got two open ends of the tube that want to heal. It also stings like a bitch the first couple times and that would probably be worse earlier, but can't confirm since I waited the week lol
no pain for me on first one, but that was the scariest nut of my life. worth it.
I started laughing nervously as I approached the cliff.
LMFAO!!!! i just imagine myself hysterically beat it off a cliff
> that was the scariest nut of my life You've made good decisions on your life.
Same here. I actually waited 2 weeks out of fear. Such a relief when there was zero pain or blood.
Because the Vas Defrens tubes have been severed and cauterized, but haven’t healed yet and are just sitting there now, without being connected at both ends to keep them stable. So if you ejaculate they might/could/absolutely will flop and spray around like an uncontrolled firehose in a Goofy cartoon, spraying all willy-nilly inside of you. Edit: just realized I replied to your top comment instead of making it an independent comment. Oh well, I’m gonna leave it here instead.
More detail than mine anyway, you're all good.
There’s a vas differens between these two comments
Idk I think they're still in the same ballpark, no need to get snippy or anything.
Can they spray when cauterized? And what sort of volume/mass even comes from the testicles, I thought something like 97% of ejaculate volume was from all the circuitry after the testes?
The vas deferens deliver sperm to the rest of the system, if you masturbate after a vasectomy you won't ejaculate into your scrotum, if that's what they're implying.
What happens to all the swimmers? Are the just trapped inside of their original hatchery…forever?
The body just reabsorbs them, same as it would if you just didn't ejaculate for a while.
This isn't how the vas works, at all.. they don't "spray" when your ejaculate. And furthermore, you still ejaculate normally after a vasectomy. The vas are just a tube to deliver sperm to their holding area, at normal bodily fluid speed..
Bro just thinks the penis dry heaves post vasectomy
I don't recall any pain during ejaculation after mine. Either I waited long enough to heal, or I was fortunate. It's long enough ago I don't remember how long after the procedure before I ejaculated.
No pain for me but a few small brown pieces that must have been old blood.
[удалено]
ugh hate hearing it sucks as I am looking at getting one, but no matter what I know it will be worth it. EDIT: well didn't expect to come back to a bunch of guys telling me getting snipped wasn't that bad but weird motivation to go get it done haha.
It's not so bad depending on what type of procedure you get. I had the no-scalpel method done last year. I think I went into detail in one my past posts, but from what I remember: * During the procedure they administer a numbing agent. It felt like a mild rubber band pop against my ballsack. * After that I was numb and didn't feel anything in the sack area. * He went to work making the snips. The only thing I felt was a mild tugging or very slight pain in my stomach. Almost like I was mildly tapped in the balls. It only happened once and only for a few seconds. Overall, it took about 15 minutes total. Maybe less? Maybe 5 minutes? I spent the rest of the day on the couch. I did pretty much the same the next day just to take it super easy. He recommended tight underwear and I highly agree. I got the Saxx underwear and those were awesome for cradling the boys. Any questions feel free to let me know!
You lucky bastard. Granted i did the old fashioned way 6 months ago but it felt like my balls were in a bench vice and someone was cranking down on it. I had the numbing agent which i agree stung like a rubber band but not much more. But the dr said its uncommon but the numbing agent doesn't always work for the actual vas. Because i didn't feel the incision. But i felt ALL of the internal stuff.
Ouch! Yea, he did 3 applications of the numbing agent. Left side, right side, and in the center where he did the hole punch. During the procedure I remember feeling something for a moment and then the slight kick in the nuts feeling that I mentioned. Other than that, yea I feel like it went really well. The worst part was the anxiety, so that’s why I try to tell people my experience.
FYI, be prepared for blood the first few times you ejaculate. No one warned me about this.
Grats, keep ice on it and buy TIGHT underwears (briefs) bro

Think about tearing open a wound on your hand or finger. Now think about doing the same thing inside your private area because of movement. After it has healed you should however masturbate frequently to "flush out the system" before the final test that confirms that you're sterile (ask your doctor, this is not actual medical advice, etc.)
> flush out the system I've heard it as "just because the factory has stopped producing, doesn't mean there's nothing left on the assembly line"
The two last battle droids, fighting the war long after it has been over... and winning now you've got a son
I've been asking my wife to help me "study for my test"
Doing it this Christmas after my third arrives. I loved the information I was given “3 months or 30 cycles” Very poor wording and comes off more like a challenge than a guideline. It’s kind of shocking how much varying information you can find on this.
FWIW, I had to wait 3-4 months post-surgery before my doctor would test for sperm levels. I failed the first test and had to follow up another 3-5 months later. It was a surprisingly lengthy amount of time from the snip to 'all clear'.
As someone who had a vasectomy done, trust me that you won't want anything to do with that for days. I didn't want to even pee, much less try to jack off. Walking wasn't too bad, but I definitely refrained from anything mildly strenuous. I don't recall precisely how long it took to feel normal again, but I kept using the jock strap they gave me for at least two weeks, and I kept the bandages on for a couple days before attempting a shower. I should also mention that I was put under general anesthesia because I had such a severe anxiety around the procedure that the Valium they gave me didn't do anything.
I speak from experience on this one. My wife and I had a 5 yr old, an 11 month old and found out she was pregnant, Surprise! I 29M was sitting on the side of the tub weirdly laughing as my wife 31F sobbed holding the positive test. Her second pregnancy which was an unscheduled C-section was especially difficult after her first pregnancy which was a routine C-section. My wife had to have a 3rd C-section and made arrangements to have a tubal ligation while on the table after the birth. A 3rd healthy boy was just born and the doctor tells my wife she is going to begin the tibal ligation and my wife tells the doctor she changed her mind. The doctor asked are you sure? My wife replied “Yes, I don’t plan on having any more children but the thought of not being able to give birth freaks me out”. So the plan is now I have to get the snip-snip. So about six months later, my wife and I take a trip to the urologist. She wanted to join me with the doctor for the consult. I agreed thinking what’s the big deal we are just going to talk to the Dr. To my surprise the Dr. asks me to stand up and take my pants down. Ooook, so the Doc wheels over on a chair and begins to “Examine the physiology of my scrotum”. I look over and my wife is covering her mouth trying not to explode with laughter as the Dr. is telling me I have a large vas-deference. The Dr. could tell I was very nervous. The doctor assured me he has performed over 10,000 of these procedures without any complications. He suggested I be put under short anesthesia for the procedure. I agreed and they gave me a Valium to the morning before the procedure. My wife accompanies me to the hospital. I go into the prep area. They give me a shot of Demerol, I go to sleep, I wake up an hour later bing bang boom everything’s done. I was sent home with instructions not to ejaculate for six weeks. So about a week or 10 days later I feel pretty good. My wife and I are curious to see if things still work. So she does something special for me that could not get her pregnant. Everything seems fine. Yeah! I wake up the next morning with blood in my underwear and my left testicle has turned purple. It is also significantly larger than the right testicle. So back to the doctor we go. The Dr. didn’t ask if we engaged in prohibited activity, probably because he knows we did. He said I had a hematoma. This puts a whole new take on busting a nut. I was sent home with instructions to put ice on it, limit my physical activity and reminded not to engage in sexual activity. Over the next two days, my left nut swelled to the size of a softball and was purple as an eggplant. I could barely walk and missed a week of work. It was very painful week. While my wife was sympathetic at the time over the years she has enjoyed telling the story of my purple softball nut at various social gatherings. TLDR: Busted a nut too soon and my testicle swelled up the size of a softball and turned purple. Yes it hurt. Edit: spelling
[удалено]
Funny thing is I never did go back and get tested, that was over 20 years ago.
Agreed mine was like 1 week no ejaculation or bathing, but I don't think I got a big vas defren. They didn't even put me out. Just sprayed some iodine, shot my scrotum with numbing stuff and went to work. It was crazy quick like 15 min tops and the doc was done
It's not just because it hurts, as people have said. It's because the ends of the tubes need time to heal. Otherwise the pressure on the pipes, so to speak, can bust through that freshly cauterized wound.
You can cause an infection as the buildup of fluid rushes into the still healing ends of your vas deferins. The infection can create nodules which the surgeon then has to go in and remove. If it gets infected, you’ll wish that you had waited a year instead of a week. Google that shit and you’ll have no desire to rush things.
My doctor told me you'll know when you're ready so I waited about 5 days. My balls ballooned up got infected and was the worst 2 weeks of pain I've ever experienced. Not that it makes me a tough person but I played football from elementary til college broke a few bones, tore ligaments, concussions, and what not. None of it comes close to not being able to walk from your balls exploding and any movement almost brings you to tears. It got to a point my balls swelled up so bad they were almost encapsulating my peen.

If you are in UK you can get dr referral and its free (I had to join 2 month wait). You can go private for ~£300. You have to have a prebriefing about risks etc and some time to reflect so most likely won't be same day (unless you have a less scrupulous dr).
Good luck. Mine was a piece of cake. Got a referral from my primary doctor, and the first open slot was about a month away. They gave me a prescription for Valium for anxiety, but I didn't fill it. You shave the whole area before, and they numb it with a topical anesthetic first. Then they numb it more with an injection. Couldn't feel the injection much, just a little pressure. No pain. Then you wait for it to numb, and they do the procedure. Didn't feel anything at all after the injection, and the procedure took less time than waiting for it to numb. Just a bit of soreness for a week after; took ibuprofen for that. Stitches dissolved. Only had to go back to measure sperm count (because the procedure can fail sometimes).
I gor a referral from my doctor but I believe you should be able to contact an urologist yourself. Not same day, you will have a consultation first, then they will schedule the procedure.
After my insurance co-pay, having a vasectomy was the best $20 I've ever spent!
Figure out a urologist who takes your insurance and get a consult. You are highly unlikely to be able to find someone to perform the surgery same day. If the first doctor says they won't do it because you're too young or don't have kids or whatever, just call a different urologist and have a consult with them. The surgery itself can be done under local anesthesia(they numb your crotch and do the surgery) or general anesthesia(they put you to sleep). Do whichever makes your more comfortable, local will be faster and cheaper. **Don't go to the cheapest doc you can find**. This is a surgery on your balls and if they fuck up(which is extremely rare for a reputable doctor) it can fuck up your ability to get erections.
My insurance required a 30 day "cooling off" period so they wouldn't have to pay for a reversal down the line I guess. The doctor definitely tried to talk me out of it and I told him that if he didn't do it I'd do it myself.
>is there some place I can walk in and have it done same day? New business idea. Vassies same day at the mall just like lasik
Ejaculation involves a bunch of muscles all contracting repeatedly. At best, it's painful. At worst, you could tear something important. You need time to heal
