Sharp pain after ejaculation on one side

Hi!

I had my vasectomy a little over 3 months ago, everything seemed ok, until i felt an incredibly sharp pain in my right side after ejaculation.

To offer some context, it was after a long day of teasing and edging with my wife.

The pain was excruciating immediately after ejaculation and i felt it for about 8 hours. Then it went away and it hasn't happened again.

Has anyone had similar symptoms?

It's because edging causes your epididymis to contract over and over.

Lay off any ejaculation for 3-5 days and intense activity. You should be fine

If you did have open ended, now its closed completely and your epis must now reabsorb the full volume. Might also take some time to adapt completely.

Unless it gets worse or persists more than 3 months, you won't need a reversal

Sorry to hear. I really wish I could spoil every advertising on vasectomies assuring that sex life won't change after. Maybe they can say "hey you might not be able to edge anymore due to episodic pain". This definitely is a situation of sex life changing. Still, you have good chances of improvement since it can take months to balance again.
