I want to approach this with my "nurse hat" on.
Yeah I'm a critical care nurse, with no direct experience in the actual performance of vasectomies.
Read this and if you take nothing else from this.
Like any medical procedure there can be complications. It is up to you to find a competent surgeon. Notice I said surgeon. yeah Doc Smith the family practice Doc can do it. Hell, I could do since the advent of google and you tube. Next best and the same thing would be urology/urologist.
Most important, no two dudes experience pain or anxiety the same. I had it done, close to 20 years ago and it was no big deal! My ex brother in law got put to sleep for his! Talk about possible complications and wasting a whole day in the hospital! I was on the ex the next morning
The traditional procedure has you shaving your nuts, (which I do anyway
) or maybe the staff doing it. You may or may not be offered a sedative, (I was not and looking back did not need it.) Doc grabs your sack and pulls it. Why? takes you mind off the "shot". Speaking of lidocaine the typical numbing agent. It does burn if you get some A hole hammering you with it. Trick is, warm, slow admin and if possible buffered with sodium bicarb. This last part is rare though. All you back country magnum shooters can handle a little lidocaine!
There's some cauterization which for me was the worst, the smell and that pad was cold as hell they stick on you. I felt nothing else. Half hour I was done.
Then from there its "rubbing off a sample" monthly til your pipes are clear.
Me? I was such a brute it took close to a year!
Surgeon was actually concerned enough he went to speak with urology. I hate kids so bad I asked if if the next one was on the house? His silence told me it was coming out of his pocket.
Post procedure-
Get a jock and some tightie whiteys, wear said jock over the tighties so you don't have to wash it daily. Frozen peas are the best!
Try out the narcotics they give you!
It was fun!
Best sleep I had in a long time.
Follow orders! No doing dumb things, have this done on a Friday so you can lay around all week end.
Seriously, married guys, you love your wife right? Think off all the suffering she goes through to bare your soul sucking, money draining, hunting season killing spawn.
Married dudes in their 30s, 40's 50s. When your wife decides to have pity on you and offer herself up as a sacrifice to your 3 minutes of fury. Your not thinking children.
Your saying to yourself in your sweaty, shortness of breath induced trance....... Yes! Finally!!!
When in all actuality as the clock winds down to 2:59 you have been time traveled back to a 15 year old with zero common sense that can barley tie his shoes, and has zero "self control".
All joking aside, it is a surgical procedure that carries risks. 99% of them are risk free. You have to ask yourself, do you want to be a dad? Do you want children? No birth control is 100%.
But so far, twice a year I have been batting zero!!!!!!!!
