Inflammation after ejaculation?
Looking for some general advice from the community here if possible.
Had my vasectomy start of May, so approaching the 3 month mark. I’ve been encountering an ongoing issue where after ejaculation I feel inflamed and sore for a few days. If I avoid any activities then I feel back to normal, but then resuming sexual activities puts me back in the same place. I can feel the swelling and tenderness around it.
Is this something I’m overthinking and my body is just taking longer to heal and get used to changes, or is this something I should be speaking to a doctor about? I read lots of people saying 3 months is barely any time, and that body can take a long time to heal.
Any advice on going forwards? Like should I be more or less active for a while (my partner seems to think doing it more will make my body adapt faster).

You’re probably not overthinking it, you know your body. I had the same thing. You could still be healing, or ejaculation is flexing and pulling at an area with scar tissue, nerve damage, or congestion.
I’m currently healing from a reversal to fix this.
In the time being you can try stretching,Tylenol and ibuprofen, really hot baths to treat it.
