By the sound of things you better go to the doctor to discuss your problems and to give you help and advice. Good luck.

Get yourself a reversal and start enjoying life again. I had only pain and discomfort with mine and had a reversal and felt much better for that.[color=red:a8caba11d5][/color:a8caba11d5][size=18:a8caba11d5][/size:a8caba11d5] :!:

I had a vasectomy when I was 25. That was 30 years ago. I've experienced pain and discomfort ever since. It's getting worse now and affecting much of my right side.

Despite being given local anaesthetic, I felt every cut with the scalpel. One of the most painful experiences of my life. I expect things are better now though.

After the operation, I was very tender, but that is only to be expected.

I doubt there is anything that can be done for me. I'm seeing my GP about this and have just had some blood tests.

I had prostatitis a few years ago. A double dose of antibiotics sorted that out.

I'm really aching as I write.

im 26 years old extreamly happy with life and love and cant ever c that changing i have 3 childerin and dont want any more and neither dose my partner am concidering a vasectomy and need some advice are all caseis like yours

Dont give up- see your doc. Dont take no for an answer and for christs sake, dont settle for pills- get to the root of the problem and get it fixed. Good luck!

I also have had a lot of pain and problems since I had my vasectomy. DON¬T HAVE THE SNIP

I concur with Bill18 - don't have a vasectomy!

For the last 6 months I have been struggling to live with Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome (PVP or PVPS) - we were not fully informed of the risks, indeed we were explicitly told there were no long term risks!

If you want to risk:

Long term scrotal pain

Pain on erection

pain on ejaculation & for upto 72hrs after

extended morphine or other addictive medicines

then by all means consider a vasectomy.

However you should be very aware of the risks posed by this neither simple nor safe procedure if you do decide to play Russian Roulette and gamble your relationship on a vasectomy.

You should be very aware this affects upto 14% of men, and within that 14% who suffer pain varying from mild to discomforting there is a fair percentage of us who suffer debilitating levels of pain and who have lost their sex lives!

The pain is agony and seeing your spouse / partner trying to deal with the effects and guilt is also very difficult to deal with.

The big question isn't why only 14% get PVP it is why many more don't!

If you're reading this and considering a vasectomy then my heartfelt and sincere advice to you would be please don't do it, and use a condom.
