    In truth, it wasn't bad at all! Mild discomfort during op. And very mild discomfort since. Just walking slowly and carefully!

    Certainly far less pain than I was expecting! Just a very unusual (if somewhat unpleasant) sensation for 10mins during.

    Was having a chat & joke with doctor and nurse juring procedure etc. So no where near as bad as I was expecting!


    In China where the procedure was developed, they used to have it without anesthetic!

    F that! No way you're putting a knife near my... ummm... 'unit' without either A) numbing it first, or B) knocking my ass out for the count for the entire procedure.

    Good to hear it wasn't as bad as expected Neil. Here's to a quick recovery from the mild discomfort.

    I can't imagine being awake while someone's taking a scalpel to your business ... I'd much prefer to be under, like I was when I got a hernia op ... although, and not to go all Quint on ya, a hernia op is a more bruising (literally) ordeal on your man lab, your fun zone, your business park, your wedding vegetables, your meat and two veg, your ... well, you get the picture. I wouldn't wish it on anyone - it sucks, and not in a fun way.

    I can sympathise with the sense of discomfort and having to walk ever-so-gingerly ... I imagine the pain of a vesectomy is mercifully less than that of a hernia (but certainly far more than you'd prefer! ), but on the other hand I was blissfully knocked out for my hernia op, whereas the idea of being awake during a fun zone medical procedure is like nails on a chalkboard to me. *shudders*

    Or maybe the idea of it is worse than the actuality - what say you, Neil?

    Apparently it's a good idea to wear tight briefs afterwards - according to some documentary I saw on Channel 4 t'other night, called "Skint" or something like that, where some bloke got one after deciding that seven kids was enough and he was talking about it - less movement means less bruising and swelling apparently.

    Not sure if that pertains to hernias or not. No bugger ever told me to do that after the hernia op, so it was just an awfully firm agony to begin with, giving way to an interminably long - weeks long - ache.

    Get well soon - and have fun making sure the barrels are emptied for good.

    No scalpel these days! It's called the no-scalpel vasectomy for a reason

    No, an anesthetic injection, then a tiny incision and they hook out the plumbing, cut it, seal it, and push it back in. No stiches even required.

    They even showed me the cut out plumbing afterwards...

    Kaos, how long've you been hiding in the bushes outside of this thread waiting to drop that one on us?

    Well, the pain was never as bad as I thought it might be, but it is dragging on. On Sunday morning there was a window of 'almost OK', but I think I pulled something during the day, and for the past 3-4 days there's been an obvious annoying discomfort, which is only just about passing today.

    So in summary... almost a week on... almost back to normal...

    Well, that's good to hear. Almost a week on, seems like you're doing pretty good.

    Now, onto the 'testing' with the better half to make sure all is working properly!
