i do not think my Urologist was as worried about the aesthetics of my testicles as he should have been.
I got a referral from my GP and he basically was like how quick do you want this done? He explained the best guy has a long wait. I chose the best guy available
Doing mine next Friday. Wish I had done sooner so I could take my 5 year old to SEC fanfare next weekend but need to get done before end of year. Figured next weekend would be best football weekend to get it done.
Love my kids more than anything. But lord help me if I ever wake up and think that I need more of these things
My youngest is now 7 and often get that feeling that we should have had a 4th and then my middle schooler talks and I realize we made the right choice lol. plus going back to diapers and naps sounds terrible. This is like peak parenting ages imo.
Just had mine done. The anxiety going in was so much worse than the actual procedure. The lidocaine wasn’t worse than a normal shot, and I never really felt a thing after that. Even the tugging felt minimal, although the right side took twice as long as the left for whatever reason. Back home with frozen peas and about to watch some Netflix or fire up my kids’ Switch.
I don’t think I got any pain dulling meds beforehand, but I could be wrong. Got some Oxy cut with Tylenol or something for the weekend though. All in all the only thing I didn’t like other than my penis just hanging in peak vulnerability while talking to the doc about golf, was the burning smell. I played up the pain afterwards for the payoff a few days later when I needed to give a sample (hubba hubba) if you know what I mean.
Had it done on the 31st. Doctor comes in and is done in 5 minutes, offers to show me the vas deferens from each side after each snip. I tried to make small talk while it was going on to try and not think about it and it really wasn’t bad. He told me it’s so boring—he’s done thousands. Strangely that made me feel better. The jock strap was a life saver the first week. Just had some minor discomfort. The wife is pumped because after our 3rd, we are just out of bandwidth and cannot have a surprise.
Damn we coulda been vasectomy bros, mine was scheduled for the 31st but I had to reschedule To may. Non-medical people really don’t realize how mundane these exams/procedures are for the providers. It’s like opening Excel for your typical office worker. I had a dermatologist appointment and my wife talked to him the next day and he had no memory of me.
Thought I was going to be a pallbearer and I rescheduled before finding out it was going to be a cremation. The urologist office is crazy busy apparently.
The doctor who gave me my consultation said vasectomies have increased so much that he could literally just do that for the rest of his career with a jam packed schedule and be more than set.
Knock on woody, but 3 days out from operation and recovery has been a breeze aside from some mild discomfort Saturday night/early Sunday morning. I’ve been pretty diligent about icing.
Like this guy https://vasectomyking.com/ Also I shouldn't go to him, right? Or if it is all he does and it is $800 flat fee then is good to go?
Man I wish this was offered when I had mine done, I had to rub one out in a McDonald's bathroom. Also wish I was given whiskey (with the Valium). 10/10 you should use him
You haven't lived unless you've walked through a large medical complex with a lunch sack containing your own semen. The discomfort I felt when I locked eyes with the secretary I handed it to is still with me.
The checkout girl at my doc was very new. Like, possibly first day new. She was actively being trained while checking me out and was having a hard time explaining what to do with the cup - clearly nervous and awkward. “ok, ummm, so you need to take this home and, uhhh… bring it back on April 19th, with ummm, a sample of your… uhhh, *clears throat* semen… for, you know… well, the doctor has to check it to make sure the operation was successful and all.”
Then my wife and I had to go pick up our 4 year old daughter, and she started asking me questions about the cup. “daddy, what’s that cup for? Can I hold it? Do you drink out of it?” What does it say on the side.”
She's in for a rude awakening the first time she has to collect one of those things, open it at the desk, and let the customer know if they've provided a sufficient load
My appointment is a little over a month out and is scheduled as general anesthesia. Am I being ridiculous having requested that? I've considered asking to just have it switched to local.
