Vasectomy

[Blackandblue]

After our third child we have decided we don't want anymore. The missus has therefore turned to me and said "So I presume you will be having a vasectomy."

I hadn't really thought about it before.

Anyone else had it done?

What's it like?

Should I do it???

doddle mate, had one after our third kid. In and out in less than 2 hours. weirdest bit was having some strange bloke (the surgeon) holding your meat and two veg.
hardest bit was when they wouldn`t let me go home till I`d had a pee. thinking it was gonna be painful I held it in for as long as possible before letting go in dribs and drabs. didn`t hurt btw.

I had it done 20+ years ago. No problems apart from my nads aching a bit for a day or so.
Couldn't have been that bad because I was back at work the day after.
If you are definite about not wanting any more sprogs then go for it.

My Mrs told me not to have one just in case I wanted to have children elsewhere...erm...

This was my view as well. I waited till I was 40. At that point, I reckoned I could not cope with any more; 2 were quite sufficient. As it has turned out, I am now divorced, remarried and quite happy with the decision I made.

With regard to the op - piece of cake, just do not overdo it in the first couple of weeks. I carried a very heavy rucksack at work for a only a few hundred yards about 5 days after the op and popped the stitches - bit embarrassing.

the doc actually mentioned this when we had the pre op interview thing.

I had mine in my early 30s, after my wife had a scare & we thought she was pregnant If i had kids it would probably restrict the number of bikes I could have
It's a very minor op, but still had 2 weeks off work just to make sure i was fully recovered ;-)

Like above ...

couple of hours, back to work next day but light duties for a week or so.

Best thing I have probably ever done, 18 years ago. It felt like I had been kicked in the goolies for a day, then a little bruising but no bad after effects. I only took a day off work, no problems.

You may find your username rather apt

So what happens to all the sperm that are still being produced in your testes? Where do they go? Or do they come out dead. Or what.

And you said I do not wish to have any with any one else all I wish is the three we have and you!

SAY YES please!!!

Each morning you sick them up. You soon get used to it.

LOL!!

Maz, the sperm get re absorbed into the body.

I was a bit 'delicate' for a few days and as has been said only light duties for a week or two.

I had it done under a local anaesthetic and was in and out in a matter of hours. *snigger*

Wasn't there a French Doctor who took out his own appendix under local?

Wonder if anyone has given themself the snip?
