    I had a female doctor - she was pretty hot too. Luckily the thought of her cutting open my sack kept me from getting a hard-on! i agree - it is relatively painless. Follow this pain relief method...

    First - forget about the forzen peas...

    Start with a cold beer in your hand and one in your crotch

    When you are finished with the one in your hand, drink the one you were holding in your crotch and replace it with a new ice-cold beer.

    Repeat these steps until the pain is gone or you just don't care any more :)



    And getting the 15 ******* out of the way was DEFINITELY not a problem - I told my wife she had to help me since I "did this for her"! eight days - yeah right! Eight hours maybe!

    I had it done under General Anaesthetic. Discomfort for a couple of days, but it meant no more contraceptive pills for my lovely wife. Glad we made the decision.........

    I can't imagine under what circumstances you would want your testicles removed. A urologist would be the one to ask and he would have real reservations. Your testicles have 2 important purposes: production of ***** and production of testosterone.



    The cessation of ***** delivery is easy and that's the plan of a vasectomy. If you have your testicles removed you will have a dramatic drop in testosterone. Besides causing muscle tissue loss weight gain you may also get "man-breasts" (because of the hormonal inbalance). In addition, it can lead to all kinds of emotional problems.



    The male body is NOT designed for operating on a ultra-low testosterone level. There is no medically sound reason for having your testicles removed. If you're looking for a gender change this too is not the route.

      If they remove your testicles you may as well have ALL your junk removed - they call that a Eunich. May want to investigate a little before you proceed any further with that idea...

    I thought there is a "no surgury" option that essentially entails inserting a tube in your urethra and then using a balloon head on it to crush the vas deferns.



    ANyone know about this?

      Never heard of that one, the tube insertion option. Surgery wasn't bad for me; it sounds like other people had problems with it though...

    It appears that some comments are gone. I hadit done under a local. It is no big deal. Some chicken heart guys I know had a general anastheasia which cost them over a thousand $ even more now. It is a bigger risk knocking someone out for such an operation and basically over servicing. I had the tubes cauterised when mine was done all up cost $17. Pretty cheap contraception, no nasty long term pills for the wife and bob's your uncle no worries about more kids, 2 good strong healthy ones is enough.

    Alcohol would not be a good idea because it thins the blood and could cause more bleeding. I think that if you are especially nervous, the doc can give you a mild sedative to chill the old nerves.

    Scotch sounds wonderful! I hope it works out well for you, the vasectomy I mean. It sounds like you have a full sized family.



    Warm regards,

    Maybe alcohol would be okay with an understanding doctor. I wonder whether it would cause problems otherwise though...

    General anesthetic makes the procedure quite a bit more involved; I think it becomes "major surgery" at that point, but am not an MD so I'm not sure. It's not that big a deal for most people but if your husband has some kind of phobia then maybe it would be bad for him...I couldn't say. Have you looked into getting yourself fitted with an IUD? That is an alternate birth control method that might be a good option for you. That my wife was going through so much risking another pregnancy was enough for me, you know, her age is getting up there and pregnancy/delivery is so hard on her too, I saw the light and went for the vasectomy. It beats abstinence! Ha ha!

    Yeah, it was a little sore for me too. They had warned me to bring an ice pack, which I did; they even kept the ice for me in the clinic freezer until I was done and on my way out to go home. It was sore down there for a few days and then it was pretty much back to normal, didn't notice any thickening but maybe it's there. I don't even think about it anymore.

    Luci: it was a bit hard to see everything done as the incisions are done below the testicles, not much to see.



    Monty: I'm smiling over your remark, my wife said something like that too.

    Such nice comments, gee thanks. I didn't watch the procedure as the table/chair was reclined too much. The doctor explained to me while he was starting the operation that the vas deferens is thicker than the blood vessels which surround it, so he could easily find it from outside my scrotum with his fingers. The passage for the ***** is very tiny though, "almost microscopic" he said, and that's why it is so hard to reverse the vasectomy: it's hard to match up the openings when you sew things back together.

    Sounds like the dentist: Getting numb hurt worse than getting it done ;-P Glad to hear it went well!
