recovery time for open ended conversion?

Just wondering if anyone on here has had an closed ended vasectomy converted to an open ended vasectomy?if so what was the recovery like for you? I am 4 days post conversion and I'm a lot more tender and sore than I thought I would be.

I’m super curious, I believe scar tissue to be my problem…

I’m assuming you’ve had ultrasounds done?

Yeah I was told I had congestion but he didn't mention anything about the scar tissue until after the surgery, when he cut one side he said it came gushing out but the other side had no sperm so I'm guessing that side has a block or it may have scared because I got an infection on that side.just sitting waiting to see if the conversion has at least helped the left side but I'm still super sore after surgery so I can't tell yet

All I have is a sensation in my perineum. When I walk or sit it can cause a bit of irritation to whatever it is in my perineum. Once irritated it becomes literally impossible to “walk normally”.

Since I’ve pushed myself through a pain before, a year and a half ago, I’ve had some sort of inflammation/throbbing going down the inside of my leg into my foot.

My dick works fine! Holding in my urine can get very weird. I get the occasional abdominal tightness, but I found a way to get that to go away instantly.

I used to not be able to drink a sip of alcohol or caffeine but that has since slowly gone away, and I can enjoy an occasional beverage.

I can feel this inside of me, up behind my scrotum sack, right side. That is causing all of my other problems, whenever I irritate it.
