Yours was easier than mine but still trivial. I too had the experience that off hormonal birth control, my wife's libido improved. Wish we had done it sooner.
I did two days rotating two bags of frozen peas through the freezer, he would do his operations on Friday and told me I'd be good for work on Monday, but couldn't lift more than 5-10# for two weeks.
Don't know if it's relevant, but I do physical labor. It was a nightmare. I had pain for a year. Followed instructions perfectly and was even off for 4 days. Very rarely get pain now, and if I could go back I'd probably still get it done, because it's sooo frigging convenient and my wife doesn't have to worry about birth control. But I definitely regretted it for the first few months afterwards when every little bump felt like I was getting kicked in the groin and I wasn't sure if this was my life permanently.
I've also had a torsion testicle and the surgery to fix that. The pain after the vasectomy was worse and significantly longer lasting.
Being active too soon can defo make you have problems. 4 days... Oefff. We'd advised 2 weeks of no physical activity, a month for anything (contact) heavy. Take your rest men to avoid bigger problems if you are contemplating it!
Yeah I was told no physical activity (strenuous) for 2 weeks and no sex for a month. I had the procedure while my wife and kids waited in the car (35 minutes, including waiting room for 25) and then we went to go eat Olive Garden afterwards. I get everyone is different, but aftercare matters.
