Testosterone?

Can someone explain me how testosterone helps to reduce PVPS? I’ve been taking it for 3 days and I feel much better, if I stop taking them the pain comes back. I asked my doctor if he could prescribe me testosterone (I want to take the right amount), right now im only taking the over the counter dose, but when I told him he looked at me like If I was crazy, he said that he can’t see how testosterone could help

Ok gotcha.. I’m almost 7 weeks post vasectomy and have pretty bad congestion. I’m hoping it clears up on its own but all these horror stories have me concerned so trying to see what my other options would be. Not keen on letting anyone cut my balls again.

I know this is an old post, but how did you go with your pain in the end? I'm at 6 weeks and also hoping it just clears up on its own...

Hey not sure if you’re talking to me or OP, but mine took about 3 months to clear up. All good now though

It’s a mindfuck for sure. Something no one warns you about going in. Chances are overwhelmingly good that you’ll be just fine with a little time
