Has anyone had a vasectomy?
I have 2 kids- and don't want any more. Wife agrees totally.
Pill and other forms of female contraception are not really an option for her due to other medical issues.
So chop for me which I'm fine with.
However I have been reading horror stories on the Internet about pain and long lasting issues. Loads of men saying don't do it.
I'm not hearing any good news lol.
So I'm asking, what experiences have you had? Best choice you ever made?
Was it quick? Any long term effects?

He didnt take any pain killers after the first day and just felt a bit of a dull ache for a few days.
I'm now trying to persuede my new boyfriend to get 'done' as we dont want kids!!
I've asked a few guys about it who have had it done. All report that it was minimally painful and recovery was quick and uneventful.
The most amusing thing I discovered from a guy I know, is that the clinic he went to to have it done was, ironically, located on Balls Road!
I was done on a friday afternoon, sent home straight after with two little sample jars for future use and advise to take paracetamol etc as and when needed..
When the injections wore off just dull pain and a lot of swelling...would advise getting some tight pants. I was back at work on the Monday.
Plus it's a money saver! No more buying condoms haha
I have a friend who had it done and him and his wife spilt shortly after which was a pity. He had a new GF which he hadnt told for fear of loosing her ,if she wanted kids . One day she announced she was preganant and that was the end of that relationship as she had cheated on him and trying to palm the new kid as his.
I had it done and no regrets , whereas my mate does regret it.
Aside from that, yes its sore for a few days, they advise you take it easy. Don't forget that its not instant and will take a few weeks before you are safe to have unprotected sex. Can't remember if you can / want to go back for a check to see if the procedure has worked.
In theory they are reversible but don't count on it and the longer you leave it the less chance of it working.
General means no needle in the gonads.
Very few men have any serious issues arising (ha!) from it and, as long as you're sure you've finished your family, then I couldn't recommend it more highly.
There are MUCH higher risks involved with general rather then local.
Yes, you still ejaculate, just no sperm in there
The snip is far less likely to fail than the female sterilisation apparently. In fact the odds we were given of it failing we would more likely win the jackpot on the lottery!
Don't do it!
Do you know how many stories there have been of men who have undergone the vasectomy, at the insistence of their wives, only for their wives to end up divorcing them. The wives then go on to marry and have more kids with another man, while the man is left infertile.
The vasectomy is an anti-male tool used to oppress men and weaken them of their masculinity. How old are you, by the way? If you are under 40, take my advice even more strongly.
If your wife doesn't want to have any more kids, why doesn't she have the female equivalent of the procedure?
What a load of rubbish.
The female equivalent is much more invasive, greater risks attached and a higher failure rate.
If a couple is done having babies then it's a no brainer for the man to have it rather than the woman.
Friday evening op about 20 minutes could have done with a little more anaesthetic on one side, felt it a bit when they burnt the end of one of the tubes before tieing it off. Went back to work the following Tuesday which coincided with the prescription painkillers and anti inflammatorys ending. They swelled up to the size of tennis balls Saw my GP more prescription anti inflammatorys signed on the sick for the rest of the week with instructions to literally lie on the sofa with my feet up.
42" TV, Sky and being waited on for days, best sick leave ever!!!
The idea of a man having his genitals surgically altered so that they don't function as nature intended them to is the ultimate insult to man. It puts the man in an automatic disadvantage in a relationship, especially if he and his wife are young. It means that his wife is able to leave him at any point, and be able to go on to have another family with some other man. But he will not have the same option.
There have even been cases of women deliberately pressuring their husbands to have the procedure, while at the same time planning to leave them, all because they don't like the idea of their husbands setting up home with another woman and starting another family after a divorce.
