I had it done about a year ago - doctor put on a Jack Johnson CD and I was out of there before the disk was done. You spend the weekend drugged up lying on the couch with a bag of frozen peas. I was working out on Monday and flew to Calgary on Wednesday.

Well, I just signed up for the deed. And am scared ####less of it to be honest but it's gotta be done. My doctor called it a 2 beer procedure - one for your hand and one between your legs.

Had it done 20 years ago or so...no problems no issues...a weekend of discomfort and back at er on Monday morning.

The vasectomy talk I can handle......The idea of people your age getting it on though.....Thats just unnatural.


Best of luck to you benchwarmer, hopefully it doesn't keep you down for too long, and isn't too painful.

My co-worker had this done, so i know more about it than I ever wanted to know.

With the traditional method, there's a cut made and everything is opened up.

With the new method, only a small cut is made and the "hose" is fished out, snipped, and put back in.

He had this new method and was back to normal (albeit tender) over the weekend.

Another co-worker had the traditional method and was back to normal (still tender) after a week....

Might want to at least look into it...

I had no idea the CP community was such a sterile bunch. You guys are shooting more blanks than Iggy on a penalty shot.

Been there. Helped my friend fill in his new drainage line for his septic system two days later. Big mistake. Got an infection and suffered for a couple weeks. Since then I've had a couple of infections in the tubes that took antibiotics.

Have a friend who has been snipped three times. His wife had a child after his first one so he had it redone and then she had twins. Yes they were all his kids! The doctor figured he was having sex too quickly after the procedure and that caused them to heal together. He's pretty confident that he's fixed good this time.

Hehe, this sounds really wrong. How were you "helping" him?!

And this is why you should not have sex until you get your sperm count done a month following the procedure. Interesting that he didnt learn the first time. I heard about a similar situation once where the wife got pregnant following the husbands vasectomy, but the husband still ended up getting his sperm count done, and it demonstrated a zero sperm count. Can you say non-paternity?

The "scalpeless" procedure is really more of a misnomer, as someone already mentioned they still use a scalpel to make the initial incision. The only difference really is that it is a marginally smaller incision, and they cut your tubes with scissors or a cautery, instead of the knife. The real differences in procedural effectiveness reside in if your doctor takes the effort to perform a triple blockage procedure. This means he takes the time to physically remove a segment of the vas deferens, cauterize the open ends shut and then ligate them with suture material. It carries alot of redundancy, but it should thoeretically provide more a fail-safe result. Both a family doctor with further trainining, or a urologist can perform a vasectomy, although it has been mostly relegated to family doctors as of late. If your GP does not perform them, they will provide you with a referal to one who does.

You dont need a referral to go to Vasman, its a self referral, and he uses the so-called no scalpel technique.
Get it done, its better thatn either of you taking pills (when the male pill becomes available), and way less evasive then getting your wife to have the snip.

This reminds me of a joke I heard.

Wife: I have to be careful that I don't get pregnant now.
Friend: Why? Did'nt Jim just get a vasectomy?
Wife: Yea that is why I have to be careful now.

I don't know if ita specific time frame at all... I was told that I had to have 50 "events" before I got tested. Great ammo for the wifey though.... C'mon honey... Only 23 more to go and we're safe......

I had mine 7 years ago. Getting your teeth cleaned hurts worse. My doctor perscribed pain meds but I didn't even need to take them. I spent the weekend laying on the couch watching football and was back to normal by Monday.
