Vasectomy

Before I make a major decision, I interview.Updated 3 years ago

I have been seriously considering having a vasectomy for ten years.

Its a very personal decision, am I'm trying to get some the personal experiences from friends.

I am completely sure I do not want to have children. My concerns are about the medical portion.

I understand fully there will be some pain for the first week or so--I just want to make absoluately sure once it is all healled up, I will be good.

Would you mind answering a few questions?

Questions:

  1. Which specific type of vastectomy did you get? Conventional, or No-Scalpel?
    1. Were your Vas Deferens "ends" sealed or left open? (See Picture-->)
  2. Do you regret your decision?
  3. Did you have any complications?
  4. Did it make sex less enjoyable at all?
  5. Did it make orgasms less enjoyable at ALL?
  6. Did you notice a drop in your sex drive?
  7. Did you just have local anaesthetic, and it took about 15 minutes?
  8. How long was your recovery time until no pain?
  9. How long was your recovery time until no discomfort?
  10. How long was your recovery time until you felt 100%?
  11. Did the actual procedure hurt?
  12. Any questions I should ask my doctor?

Questions:

  • I know how people hate to answer the same questions from idiots all the time. :)
  • So here are hopefully some well thought-out questions I still have reading every word on your website, and 40 hours of online research:
  • Is the cost only $60? I assume the government subsidizes it?
  • Who do I get to do the Sperm test at 12 weeks? What is the cost?
  • Is there really a prize after I fail my sperm test?
  • What is the wait time before I can get this done? Does it help to travel to Vancouver?
  • BTw, I LOVED the humour/jokes in the website!

Drugs:

Your $60 includes these awesome drugs, and a sweet jock strap.

  • Acetaminophen (500mg) for 2 days
  • Naxproxen (500mg) for 5 more days

Options:

  1. Seal Ends or Not
  2. "Dick Switch"
  3. Vasagel
  4. R.I.S.U.G.

Obviously:

  1. Be careful having unprotected sex for months afterwards
