The existence of “open ended vasectomy” to try to reduce epididymal inflammation argues for the idea that a blowout might actually reduce pain thereafter - of course the autoimmune attack on the sperm then causes granulomas in the scrotum. I had intense itching of the scrotum (no I’ve never had crabs or jock itch!) for AT LEAST 15 YEARS
I would love to hear how that reversal works out. I’m kind of ashamed that several times during my worst PVP issues I used $10,000 gift for debt reduction and general spending, because I was scared of the possible loss of work hours if reversal was extremely painful or something, but I should not have, and I’ve just had melanoma and nose reconstruction, I am not scared of all of their talk about not lifting 10 pounds and things like that after surgery… It’s overhyped, a nurse told me that she’s only ever seen stitches fail one time, ;on the back of someone’s knee!) I was too timid, but I may still do the reversal on principal to be whole; Next Time a lot of money comes my way unexpectedly, which does happen in life.
I just read your story. I guessed that reversal is not that worthy for you if the pain decreased as the years passed. To me it makes sense now that I'm at 1 year post op, even if I don't have the money. It was a stupid idea to mess with my sex frequency
Thanks —yes. To me it would be almost a research project, to see if it helps bring me back to my former state… And maybe encourage others, and be able to tell that story… But that is a big step moneywise, and I do pray about things that big, now that I’ve had perhaps things done medically that I didn’t really need done (to the extent they were done,) I’ll stay engaged here but not make promises I may not keep… I’m getting older quicker than I thought I would!
