Post vasectomy worries?

I had a vasectomy a week ago. One testicle hangs quite a bit lower than the other and the one that higher is much harder and larger. I've also felt a few strange hard "lumps" in that area that definitely weren't there before. Needless to say, I'm a little scared that this permanent.

I'm looking for people who have had a vasectomy and if they expereinced anything like this and what the outcoome of it was.

Thanks in advance.

p.s., I've called the doctor a few times and explained the symptoms to the nurses and they sound like they are scripted to say the same thing everytime and dodge my questions.

I never had a problem. I had a lump, on one side for about 4 days. I was curious, so I called, the nurses gave me the same speech. I later learned that the lump is where some blood pooled and thickened on the inside of my sack. This is usually caused by too much physical activity in the first few days. I think it happened to me because I drove myself home, and was walking around way too much on the first afternoon.

The situation is not permanent, and will heal up.

A month after my vasectomy, you would never know I had one. I have checked many times since then. There is no hint that I ever had it (no scar, lump or anything).

All of the above is true if you had a traditional vasectomy. If you had one of those new 鈥渇angled鈥?ones where they used 鈥渃lips鈥?or something, you had better go back and get it re-done. Those are trouble waiting to happen.

All normal.

Some of the lumps and bumps will go away with time, some wont. Depending on the procedure, there may be a couple of small plastic "clips" in there.

My urologist cut the tube, "kinked" the end, clipped it then cauterized the ends. I'd say mine is pretty thorough. But yes, it leaves some extra bumps. Plus there will naturally be some minute amounts of scar tissue.

As for the "hanging low" issue, I dunno what to tell you other than that mine have started dangling a little lower since the procedure (about 3 years ago). I find that I'm having to adjust the furniture down there a little more than I used to to get things out of the way. I kind of suspect it comes, part-and-parcel, with the vasectomy in-general.

Well I just had one done about two months ago. My MD told me before I left that I would feel lumps around the incisions site for awhile. As for the testicle thing I was told to wear a jock strap or briefs for a week to support the testicles. When I stopped exactly a week I had some tearing by the stitches I wore it another week and was fine. I am no doctor but I think you are just recovering and doing fine

I got mine when I was 24, so that would be 11 years ago. I don't remember any issues at all. I sought the advice of many other men that had them. Several mentioned lumps, and pain, that lasted a week, or so. Nobody ever mentioned anything being long term.
