So I went to go get a vasectomy at age 30. The lady dr tried her damnedest to get me to reconsider. I ended up leaving the office waiting room right before I was to have the procedure. I was very scared because of what the Dr had told me.
Told me I would have constant testicle pain, etc (not true).
So I didn't go through with it. God I wish I had. I don't have any kids or anything, but at 41 I finally got it done. Mine went as badly as one could go. The infection and inflammation didn't go away and I was in great pain for weeks before finally they found the right antibiotic. But, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Mine went horribly and I'm still out here telling you to get it done. It's amazing. What does that tell you?
Don't believe the scare tactics. It's bullshit.
I don't recall the stats anymore but the rate of satisfaction vs regret is very high and increases over time. Vasectomies are fantastic. I hate that there is still kind of a childish stigma about it.
