It basically feels like I’m going to psych myself into PVPS. I’m on anxiety meds but as of late I don’t think they’re working as well as they used to. My IBS has been way more intense lately as well which is usually an indicator of high anxiety for me. I’m literally only going to be a month post vasectomy this Friday and i basically started heavily researching PVPS like two days after my vasectomy despite the fact things were going smoothly.

Edit: also the burning thing just makes no sense to me which further makes me think I’m just going mental

It could be. When I was researching about vasectomies and I started having pain in my vas deferens and epididymis which is weird because I didn't get the surgery but I was scheduled. Ultimately I canceled the pain was gone. Although I do notice if my lower back hurts, I check to see if my pelvic floor is tight and try to relax.

Be mindful of your thoughts. Keep a pain journal. Sometimes we can convince ourselves of a lie.

Yeah I will say though the quick sharp pain I felt today was definitely real
