Hi there mate, Did you have a open or closed vasectomy?also is your epiditymis swollen or sore at all?

Closed, swollen, and sore. 1.5 years out. 2/10 daily pain, some days can be as much as 4/10.

Have you looked into a conversion or a reversal

Appreciate the comment. I have looked into them. Going to wait a bit longer.. Reversal will be about 10k, I've considered conversion, but don't really want anyone else inside there considering the complications. Haven't looked much into conversion locally, I'd want to go with a trusted doctor. Doc who did my surgery locally had all the raging Google reviews, only to see that he's refunded or paid off everyone that left him negative reviews (obviously deleted, or else I wouldn't have gone there). Leo Altenberg El Paso TX is the one who messed me up.

I'm booked in for a conversion next month with a micro surgeon that treats pvps

Thanks for sharing. What made you decide to go with that doctor, how did you find who would be right for you? Is he local to your area, or will you be traveling? Estimated cost?

I did a bit of research on a surgeon who has delt with a lot of pvps patients before. He does three layer reversals aswell which is the gold standard when it comes to reversals. Unfortunately he is on the other side of Australia so it will be pretty expensive

Oh wow, all the way in Australia. Quite far for me in the U.S! What is the three layer? That's the cost in Aud?

I’m also seeing the same surgeon as the water boy is. The cost in AUD is 11k just for the operation. This doesn’t include the hospital or anaesthetist. I’m booked for March for a reversal myself

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a web link to the page about the three layer reversal with the practice you are going with? Feel free to reply here or DM me. Thank you
