I was going to say nothing but I remembered that I did get a vasectomy recently so I guess there’s lots of uninhibited sex with my partner to look forward to
How was the process and recovery?
Really not that bad considering. Really not much pain during the procedure cos they numb you up (getting numbed wasn’t fun but it kicks in while it’s being administered) and then it takes about 15 minutes. After it was done, I was able to hobble on out of there immediately after just about. During the recovery, you wear a jock strap (undeez makes one for it that also lets you slip in ice packs) and ice up. The procedure I had was a newer, even less invasive one so I didn’t even need pain pills afterwards, just alternated ibuprofen and acetaminophen and ice and that was ample (lots of edibles too). It could get to be a dull pain from time to time and then just had to avoid jostling my nads around or lifting much weight. The anticipation of the procedure was definitely way worse than actually going through it
I'm having it done tomorrow, good to hear it was straightforward and relatively painless!
Thank you for sharing.
