I was nervous before mine, but it wasn't bad at all. The worst part was the slight pinch in my balls when they gave me the local anesthetic. It took about fifteen minutes, and I walked out just fine.
I sat on the couch all weekend and watched action movies which was awesome. Ibuprofen was more than enough for the pain, and I was able to do light house work in a couple days.
Get some reviews of doctors in your area, but I would definitely recommend getting one if you don't want any kids.
Slight pinch? Brother don't sugar coat it. It feels like getting kicked in the sack by a mule. But it's only for a moment and its still 100% worth it.
For me, my vasectomy was probably the single most miserable medical procedure I've ever had performed, but the recovery wasn't bad at all and I would still get it done in a heartbeat.
I'll double down on the slight pitch.
I never got the kick in the nuts, was back to doing stuff the next day. Even resting for the rest of the day seemed silly for me.
I've leterally been sack tapped by a horse and it hurt less than that needle. Of course as soon as the anesthetic actually kicked a moment later it stopped and I was fine. So it only actually felt like my testicles had been injected with everclear via a claw hammer for a very brief moment. Maybe our docs just used a different anesthetic or something.
But, yeah I 100% agree on the recovery. I went and got a few groceries immediately after without issue.
Rough. It's pretty reasonable to assume everyones experience will differ. But sounds like you got the short end of the stick.
Sorry your experience was so rough. Slight pinch for me too. Worthy of a displeased grunt, but that was it.
