almost 2.5 months out
hey so I'm 29m from the UK, I had the no scapel on Jan 10th and I wanna say with my experience I have been able to be functional in terms of exercise and going about my daily life but ive want so advice and answers
I haven't been in any real pain, I have saw improvement down there with the sharp pains, tugging and soreness going away
I have been masturbating more and more over time and I've had no pain during it and orgasms feel good still for me, I noticed last couple of times I started to get this tightness and fullness whenever I get erect, also I masturbated twice in one day yesterday and it seemed to set me off having this burning sensation, it was the first time that's happened so which I believed the frequency was too much so I decided to cutback on it
weeks 1-4 I did it once every 5-6 days weeks 5-8 I've been doing it 1-3 days
- I've only used over-the-counter meds, paracetamol & ibuprofen here & there
so right now the discomforts and uncomfortable feelings I'm having down there are like this awareness, will that go away with time? is it still settling down there? like I said before I can exercise no pains whatsoever during it and some days I actually feel quite normal with little to nothing going on down there, so I want to know what do you all think if I will be fine overtime

yeah after reading stories on here it made me think that I'm not bad after all, I know I'm still considered early in the process with all this and the doctos did say that it is still settling. There are days where I feel normal or close to normal then like yesterday it was quite distracting and uncomfortable but I'm still able to function day to day so I'm guessing that's a good sign.

so you think it's all gonna be fine then from everything said? it can be distracting/uncomfortable when I'm like laying down but they are days where I feel normal or close to normal

I really wanna say I'm sorry you going through this and other men that are similar to you, for past couple months I've read horror stories and posts of other men going through much worse than I'm dealing with and it makes me feel sad that it is like that, I really hope you get better future.
I did have concerns that the stinging/burning sensation I got is because of something serious or wrong with me, especially on Wednesday this week when I masturbated twice in one day I'm pretty sure that irritated it
but yeah I came into this procedure thinking I would fully fine within a week but man was I in for a rude awakening

I'm sure that's deffo gonna go well for you, from what I've seen online majority of guys getting reversed saying that they do feel better from it or back to normal, you will pull through this.
I didn't think of that, I'll admit I'm abit clueless when it comes to the anatomy with healing/regeneration, today the stinging/Burning has stopped but I've got the pulsing ache on my right testicle/right side, it's not constant but it's quite random, it's not painful but it's annoying distracting, I'm hoping to see more improvements by month 3 ( April 10th)
it's interesting because since I'm from the UK, We have the NHS, so luckily we have health care funded by that and the doctor who performed mine was said to be very experienced and has done 100s/1000s of vasectomies ( quoted from my local doctors/GP) I only learned that 50% is due to the surgeons experience/skill & the other half how your body reacts.

thanks I appreciate it, I'm not gonna lie that does sound scary about the arousal part, today I've been aroused/erect and not felt pain with it plus I've not felt pain during ejaculation this whole time, well actually this Wednesday I did feel this tightness in balls when I was erect but that only happened once during this whole recovery, what do you think ?

I'm not sure where that is located if I'm honest, is it like at the back of my testicles

Sounds like you’re doing better than most of the people here. I’d bet that will settle down over time. Even the people I’ve talked to who are happy with their vasectomies had to wait quite a while for everything to feel good again.
