I had a vasectomy 4 weeks ago and want to share the experience to help anybody considering it.

I'm in my mid thirties and done with having children. Having to worry about possible pregnancy when having sex continues to be a burden. Worrying about condoms, pills and injections are a challenge I'd rather not deal with. I looked into a vasectomy and it seemed the most reasonable thing to do. So I booked my appointment and arrived at the clinic.

The clinic had sent me material before hand to read so I reviewed it and looked at a few videos to be familiar with it. They'd asked me to bring tight fitting underwear to use after the procedure. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment so was left to seat in the waiting room. While there II could smell the burning flesh presumably from the burning of the flesh in the procedure. Soon after one guy came out after his procedure and left, seemingly in one piece. Few moments later another man left also in one piece. I felt reassured seeing them work out without agony.


My turn came. The doctor brought me in to the room. Talked me through the risks and had me sign a consent form. It's "permanent" he said and hard to reverse. Music to my ears. In the procedure room, I proceeded to UnCloth and lie on the table. The clinic used a no-scalpel technique which meant a quicker and less painful procedure. It started off with a needle to my my sac to numb it. Felt a bit painful but was manageable and then he started to tug. When he went to burn the sperm tube, I could feel pain so he numbed it some more. Other than the pulling and some discomfort the rest of the procedure went well. Within 20 minutes he was done.

I got dressed and left the clinic just 35 minutes after I stepped in. They told me it would be quick but it felt surreal that it had only taken a 20 minute procedure to give me reliable contraception for life. I left there thinking more men should do it. The next few days were uncomfortable but not unbearable. I took some paracetamol when it got too painful. I was instructed not to shower for the first 2 days which I complied with. The swelling lasted for a few days then started to subside. The hole on my scrotum took some time to heal as the scab kept getting pulled off but eventually it did. There's now just a small scab there 4 weeks later that would likely come off soon.

The swelling is more or less gone and i only get a small discomfort now and again. Overall it was a good experience with no complaints. I'm set to have a semen test 4 months after the procedure to confirm it's been successful. In the interim there's still a risk especially if there hasn't been over 20 ejactulations.

That's been my experience, would you consider a vasectomy? Ask me anything.

I don't think it's quite the same when I know 100% a man CAN'T get me pregnant. Takes a tiny little bit something out of sex

I don't think we Africans need this. Sometimes in the future regret might surface.

A big no , in Nigeria where we have paternity fraud, insecurity and so on, it is dangerous

Good luck to those who intend to follow this path.
Yes, I am done having kids but I will never do this.

Sounds stupid if you ask me

Ok

So if u have s x, will you feel like cumming?

Hmmm..

Na wa

But he said that is the reason he went for the procedure, so he will not get his wife pregnant because of TPain.

Well, depending on the type he had, it can be reversed.

Sometimes at back of her mind a woman be somehow enjoying the possibility she could get pregnant. When you kill that possibility entirely...

Thanks for sharing your experience

From what you said, it seems you were conscious throughout the entire procedure, correct?

How do you feel about yourself now?

Are you sure those kids in your house are biologically yours

Stupidity....what if something happen to those kids of urs ...
Guess you don't have friends or families to advise uu.

Stop misinforming readers. If you do it it is for your own, keep it and stop spreading negative narratives. How can your finish having children when you are not even married? Whoever takes you serious , do so at their own peril.

Interesting, most couples report that it actually improves their sex life when the risk of pregnancy is removed.

Livingstone01:

What kind of regret? I don't have any interest in more children. In the highly unlikely event that all my kids die I can always adapt or dedicate my life to other pursuits.

I don't understand how this is a problem. If the kids I have are not biologically mine I'm still their dad in practice so doesn't really bother me. For insecurity, we don't live in Sambisa forest, odds are that most of my kids will outlive me. If they somehow don't, I have no interest in looking after a baby in my 40s.

Why? you prefer condoms and pills?

illicit:
Ok

So if u have s x, will you feel like cumming?

Yes sex is not any different feeling wise. Everything works as usual except no sperm is delivered to the semen.

Benbisco:


Well, depending on the type he had, it can be reversed.

Vasectomy is a permanent form of contraception. A reversal can be attempted but it has a low rate of success.

Bhus21:

"Risk" always adds a tiny little something to sex

Yes was I was conscious, the doctor just numbed my sac and tube. I could feel the pressure but no pain.

This is not my first operation using local anaesthetic. I had a screw in my ankle taken out years ago while i was awake.

They just numbed the area and got to work.

Badbunny:

No, I have no interest in more kids in the future and it's highly unlikely to change..

So you prefer wearing rubber for the rest of your life?

Why must you think of something bad happening to them in the first place?
