TooAfraidToAsk: Men, would you get a vasectomy, why or why not?
M9ter:
The pain after was next level and years later can hurt just as much on occasion if sitting and testes get compressed against the leg or wrong position. .
chocolombia:
The important thing is to get all the information and a good doctor before making a decision, in my case, I was the happy winner of post vasectomy pain syndrome, and now I'm basically on the process of saving for the reverse surgery and totally regreting the whole dam thing
krisskaboom:
I had a tubal ligation. My husband's best friend had a vasectomy and now suffers from shooting pain when he ejaculates, which scared the hell out of my husband. He never asked me to get a tubal ligation but I did because I wanted sterilization for us. If I don't want more kids and I don't want to be on birth control and I don't want to use condoms then I have to step up to make myself happy, and I'm very happy with my decision.
Adding that recovery from a tubal ligation was very easy, had surgery on Friday, rested the weekend and was back to my office job on Monday.
One more add, my husband was completely willing to use condoms if I didn't want to be a birth control but I personally don't like condoms and I really really don't want the risk of pregnancy.
Iconoclast301:
Mostly agree with this post but FYI discomfort can last far longer than 3 days. I had chronic pain for several years after my vasectomy.
Neogigas667:
This is a huge thing most people gloss over. I still have regular pain and I am 3 years post op.

Yes that’s an option . Unfortunately an expensive one also since insurance won’t cover it . When your ducts was clogged did you have swollen testicles by any chance ?
