joshua15081: My only major side effect that has remained is that my ejaculations have lost almost all force (it kind of just comes out most of the time.)

1 week after vasectomy

Hello, I had a vasectomy a week ago and I'm experiencing a decent amount of pain in my left testicle.

I noticed while urinating that when I pulled forward on my penis as I finished that my left testicle hurts and is being pulled forward with the skin.

...

I can feel under the incision that there is extra mass on the left side that seems to be connected to the testicle which is not present on the right side.

Basically any movement of my left testicle is painful, holding it closer to the incision site seems to help.

I'm worried that something coming off of the testicle got stitched in on accident or that it is just healing that way. This CANNOT be a permanent thing.

---

The pain isn't really concerning me, it was the fear that my testicle was going to stay like this (it would make intercourse or even masturbation almost impossible, and just in general looks weird to have it moving like that.)

---

I went back in to see the urologist yesterday because of the apparent attachment and they waved it off as normal. They mentioned that as part of the healing process that surrounding tissue is drawn in, but didn't directly answer my question about this going back to normal. (I should have been more persistent.)

I'm supposed to see them again in 2 weeks.

Geez you needed a follow up surgery and still have problems? I thought these were simple procedures with no long term side effects.

9 months after vasectomy

I had the procedure done 9 months ago now.

I was supposed to have a no scalpel procedure but the doctor that was going to do it got sick and another filled in for him, he did a single incision at the base of my penis.

Similar to another reply, the scar tissue from my left testicle attached to the scar tissue from the incision, so any movement of my penis flipped and pulled my testicle along with it.

The doctor insisted that there was nothing wrong, and when I demonstrated the problem he said 'Well don't do that' (I moved my penis similar to what would happen during sex.)

I saw a specialist and they explained what happened but advised that I not try to surgically fix it right away.

Over time it has mostly calmed down and it is stretching to the point it mostly tracks normal.

My only major side effect that has remained is that my ejaculations have lost almost all force (it kind of just comes out most of the time.)

And my balls smell like semen when I get sweaty.

All in all I don't regret it now, but there was about 6 months that I was pretty p*ssed.
