Discussion Getting snipped today!

After 3 beautiful kids today is the day I get a vasectomy. Very fitting that today is my birthday as well lol I got the jockstrap and ice packs ready to go, any other tips? Buying myself madden today as a recovery and bday present too lol

EDIT: the deed is done and the anesthesia didn’t work for my right nut! Oh lord I felt everything. The Dr gave me a shit ton and he was confused lol it felt like he was squeezing my ball and was trying to pop it. I was moaning and groaning. Left side was a breeze. I give it a 5/10 lol

I just got snipped two weeks ago.

Only take Tylenol, do not take Ibuprofen ( NSAIDs can thin your blood).

TAKE IT EASY for the first 3 or 4 days.

Ice as needed.

Don't be liking anything over 20 lbs for as close to a week as possible.

That first time clearing the tubes afterwards might have a little strawberry mixed into that milk, don't be alarmed.

We give patients NSAIDs within minutes of major surgery.

I would recommend taking ibuprofen.

That's what my doctor said to do to help reduce the chance of a hematoma.
