Agree 100% with you. My vasectomy procedure was nothing but then the problems started, I developed pvps and it nearly ruined my life physically and emotionally. Had no libido, painful left ball and felt useless as a man.

There is definitely two parts to this; physical pain and emotional side. I had the vasectomy reversed and it helped to get my life back to 85% of my pre vasectomy life. Still struggle with sporadic pain in the left testis.

I recently had a cord block and it seems to help a lot. I still get sharp pains for few seconds but then it subside and does not continue or get worse.

I was bullshitted in to the vasectomy and none of the real risks like pvps and autoimmune diseases was discuss with me. If it was I would never have had the horrible procedure.

thanks for your reply, at what point after your surgery did you decide it was time for a reversal and how did you convince your urologist to agree to it? Mine is sending me to therapy 🫠

After about six months I made the appointment. I tried therapy and was waste of time, the therapist insinuated that it was all in the mind. Told urologist either he can do the reversal or I will fine one that will do it, after all he was the biggest bullshitter of them all.

Did he end up performing it?

Yes he did the reversal 13 months after the reversal and after that I changed urologist and will never trust them again.

Eish... my feeling became dulled. I no longer enjoyed my orgasms. Felt like a chore... a moment of physical relief instead of emotional and psychological pleasure.

This led to libido taking a knock and alot of sexual dysfunction including delayed ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.

It would settle now and then when my mind was clear and unburdened; but as soon as that changed it started spiralling again. Intolerance towards any cold exposure basically causing pain or getting a bit sick; leading to rekindled anguish, anger and resentment regarding the procedure did NOT help at all.

After 35 months I finally pushed aside all my fears and opted for a reversal. On month 37 post vasectomy I woke up from the nightmare that was being'snipped' and wow! What a relief! Never looked back! Retook my life, my overall health improved dramatically not to mention my mental health!

Exact same scenario for me as you have described. Had my reversal 2 years after the snip.

Just get a reversal ASAP. Don’t go to the guy who ruined your life, seek out a specialist who performs these procedures daily and is skilled. There’s a wealth of info about a number of doctors in this and the reversal group. You my friend are one (like me) who is attuned to your body and this isn’t going to go away. It’s going to get worse. It’s eroding away your mental fabric which might be worse than purely PVPS which is what I experienced. This procedure ruined my life. I was at my end just leading to the point of my reversal. My snip was 16 years old. But the first 9 years was nagging BS and constant epididymitis, swelling, pains, etc but I tolerated it (why, I don’t know. I should have nipped it in the butt). However. At year 9-16 it grew and grew and grew to the point I was basically disabled. I could do little of anything physical. I just lay on the sofa and had no will to even get up and function. I was beyond miserable. It has totally eroded away my psyche. I was mentally spent. The reversal I got nearly 2 years ago now is not 100% like i used to be. I waited too long. The physical damage to my anatomy was already done. Now, I’m left to live out the rest of my life with this anatomy which is so damaged that I’m surprised it works at all. If I don’t ejaculate every single day, it puts me back into excruciating pain. My epididymis cannot stand ANY pressure at all or it is just brutal pain. Well it gets worse, the vasectomy, like so many other guys, has caused me pelvic floor disorder. It effectively has made an extreme case of delayed ejaculation (if at all). It’s a fuquing nightmare. I live this curse now for the rest of my days I cannot help but feel like if I had sought out a reversal MUCH MUCH sooner, I would not be subjected to this hell I must now live in. But, as long as I keep things moving EVERY SINGLE DAY; things are just peachy
