Vasectomy Questions, For MEN?

Hello,

hubby had the Vasectomy Friday night,

When could you comfortably have sex, without pain
What did you feel afterwards physically
Pain, heaviness, tenderness, swelling bruising

My husband is still very tender, and kinda leaky,very minimally tho, and says it hurts to stand and sit, also his groin is hurting.
We tried to have sex but it was to painful,when he started becoming aroused.

Please tell me your story , and how long it took to recover
really.

UH well it wasn't real sex, it was B-J

and was still tender, we had to stop, is that normal?

But everyone seems to agree its the Underwear.

It only took a week and I was ready to have sex again. I didn't really have any pain (I just took aspirin). I thought it was a "piece of cake". I only felt like someone was tugging at my sack for a few days. After that it itched pretty bad (I mean real bad).

The surgeon didn't use stitches. He used that "new skin" glue on me. It peeled off all by itself (possibly the source of the itch).

I think it varies from man to man. Something to keep in mind is that the vasectomy is performed on the loose skin at the top of his sack. When he gets up, sits down, or becomes aroused, it will tug on that skin a little. That is why it is painful.

If he got a "traditional" vasectomy, he will be just fine. If he got any of those new "high tech" vasectomies, then he is going to be sore for a while. I don't know why insurance will cover them, because they are asking for problems.

Good luck, and be nice to him for a while. Your sexual career will now take off to new heights like it has never before.

My friend is getting his in soon. When he reads this he is going to get mad becuse I didn't tell him about the itch!

we waited a good week
lots of ice packs helped the swelling
"All things in their own good time..."
Hope it helps

Ooh.. Too soon! Dont even think about it for at least 2 weeks post op! Too late probably but he should have stayed absolutely horizontal for 3 days. (Only getting up to pee. Some things you can't lie down for) The swelling and bruising will ease after the fortnight, but remember you can still potentially have kids until he has got the 'all clear' from the hospital in about 3 months (that's how long it took them to let me know anyway) keep taking the pain killers for a while, and wear Supportive underwear for a long while. It will pay off. Good luck meantime, when you do kick off again enjoy! but keep it gentle to begin with (ouch, ouch, ouch!)

It depends on the person I had to wait 2 weeks I was too tender for that,but a friend of mine had it the same and went at it that night what a man

Use ice packs to bring down the swelling...then use a B J to bring it back up if you know what I mean.....almost 2 weeks before tenderness goes away...I guess it just depends on how fast he heals.

I had mine a long time ago, but remember it being pretty sore and tender for a few days. I don't think we had sex for more than a week. I do remember going back to work next day, but I had a job that didn't require that much physical effort. He will probably be fine in a few days.

If you don't manipulate and hurt it the pain and the leakage will be ended after 7-10 days and you can have intercoarse.

A bit of stiffness but only mild. Sex is not advised at least for a week lest you concieve. Avoid erection, it would nullify the vasectomy.

My recovery method was to sit in a recliner with a cooler of drinks & food, the remote control, the telephone, and the video game console all within reach. I wore a combination of briefs & athletic supporter, with an ice pack between them, and sweatpants that were loose & comfortable. A board across the arms of the chair made a good platform for eating, working on my laptop, etc.

For me most of the discomfort was gone on the 3rd day - Day 1 & 2 I was immobile on the recliner, and on Day 3 I could walk/move cautiously. At that time I switched to 800mg of over-the-counter Ibuprofin for pain, and that's also an anti-inflammatory. I went back to work in the office on Day 4... but brought ice packs and ibuprofin. The swelling was pretty much gone by Day 5, and I stopped using ice packs after that. But I was still uncomfortable after a week, and it turns out I had developed an infection (a 10-day course of antibiotics got things back to normal). It was 10 days after the surgery when I switched back to boxer shorts, 15 days when I resumed sexual activity, and 20 days when everything felt back to normal.

Once your husband is back on his feet, keep in mind that regardless of what you've heard, it is a VERY painful, VERY invasive, and VERY difficult surgery to recover from. Consider that some offices use an electrical pulse to cauterize the ends of the tubes, which can be very disruptive to his system. He will need your help during the THREE YEAR recovery process. Manual labor should be highly discouraged, you need to avoid putting any emotional stress on him whatsoever, and there will be times where he will need to lie & rest (particularly during televised sporting events). Home improvement projects, long shopping trips, and visits to in-laws can be devasting to your partner's good health.

To keep his anatomy in good working order and avoid any post-operative complications, daily relief therapy with a partner is highly recommended for at least 3 years... but only he can be the real judge of how frequently is enough, and whether or not therapy should continue.

About a week or so in my case.
What knocked me around the most was coming out of the haze. The painkillers made me loopy for several hours.
A bag of frozen peas works well. He can form the bag to fit and you won't have a puddle of water to deal with.
Suggest he wear a jockstrap for a few days to relieve the heaviness.
After he's healed you'll be a lot more at ease when making love because the fear of pregnancy is gone.
(Remember that there will be follow up tests. Help him fill the cup - give him a BJ or hand job. After a couple of weeks the swimmers will be gone and you'll be able to go off contraceptives - as long as neither one of you is playing on the side).

ENJOY!
