Just got scheduled for a vasectomy in two weeks. I have buddies that say it’s no big deal, and one that says it was an awful experience. I should note that I’m a big coward when it comes to doctor visits! 
Wondering if any of you have been through this. I’m 40 and have three boys...the youngest is just 17 months old. I’m afraid I won’t be able to pick him up for a couple of weeks after the procedure.

I had it done 2 years ago.  First 24 hours I was pretty sore.  My lower abdomen was hurting a bit too.  After that I was able to do my things.  Honestly, it’s not a bad at all.  The surgery takes like 30 minutes and you won’t feel the soreness until like 40 minutes after surgery is done.  Then it hits hard.  Get some frozen peas and tramadol (doctor gave me like 6 tablets) and just relax.

So the thing you might have is pain might come back and feel like you got vasectomy again like 2 weeks later just cause your body is still recovering and things can get infected but your body will take care of it.  It’s been two years now and it was an awesome decision.

Got it done 7 years ago and have zero regrets. Urologist was very experienced and it was literally 8 minutes from start to finish. Guys have a range of experiences but I iced/rested heavily the entire 2 or so days after and things were fine for day-to-day activities thereafter. Just go into it with both you and your partner recognizing that you may need more recovery time and that recovering properly up front will make things much easier.

Frozen peas.  Rotate bags and just don’t do anything.  People that think they can just jump up and do everything day two is what get people in most trouble.  Only real issue I ever have seen with friends are 1) overdoing and lifting and 2) doc nicked a vessel and caused a hematoma.  That one was bad but my buddy should’ve gotten seen way before it got as bad as it did

I had one in 2013 or 2014, forget the exact year, but it really was no big deal. I think the only people who post much about it online speak to bad experiences. The worst part is the anticipation and the doctor trying to talk football to you when they are severing your bits. Mine was bad anticipation as he was on call at the hospital and was 30 minutes late, I nearly left. It was mainly just bruising, not really any pain at all..

I got it done in September.  Surgery took 15 minutes, max.

 

I'd describe it as general soreness, not pain for 2-3 days.  And then intermittent soreness as activity increased for a few weeks (especially when first waking up).   Only took ibuprofren.

Had mine done 9yr ago, easy nothing to it, small incision then a laser to sever the tube then a titanium clamp. Pain for a day (1-2 advil), then some general soreness for a few days, but thats it.

I experience a few shooting pains out of the blue for about a year then that went away entirely.

I did it for the wife, and now that my marriage is ending, and I'm in the dating world again, ABSOLUTEY the best decision 😜

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By frankw · Posted

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
