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 😜

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
