NOT PAINLESS!!!
I have suffered ever since getting mine. 2 bouts of Epydidimitis and I am still not the same since. I guess my case is a bit rare but there is the possibility.
Ack!

Did you have the laser or the old skool snip snippy?
Had the grab and cut method on mine. I almost vomitted from the pain.

Epididymitis after a completed vasectomy makes no sense to me. If the vas deferens in sucessfully divided (piece removed) the route of infection getting into the epididymis is removed.
I have performed hundreds of these and here are the facts: there is a 0.3% failure rate - there are normally 2 vas deferens but some people have an accessroy vas deferens (total of 3) and the third one will still function. Also, even though we look at the vas deferns at the surgery, we still need to have the pathologist look under the microscope since there are some neurvascular bundles that can appear like the vas when seen with the naked eye. There are also cases of the vas reanastamosing or reconnecting and functionign again. These are the reasons we do a semen analysis after the vasectomy. Total complication rate is acceptaed at 5% of cases.
The acepted complications are: bleeding, infection, failure. Shootin' blanks is better than raising too many kids:yup:

One of the outpatient treatments one of my friends had involved a small incision and a laser beam. Apparently, it was painless and he had to uhh, "shoot" about seven times over a few days and go back in for a count.
Would that be representative of what's done these days or are they largely still like the 'shot of scotch' and a dull knife method that desertdog went thru?

That is what the Urologists called it and antibiotics did the trick on the infection part.
I still have constant dull pain on my left side. It also flares up from time to time. Ejaculation is painful, and I don't care what the accepted complications are. I had a very bad experience and I would not recommend it. I kmnow plenty of men that had no trouble at all though. So its your choice in the end.

Pasta.
What would you recommend? (I mean, do you know of any good alternatives? Do you not recommend the exact procedure you had, or ANY vasectomy, period?)

You know what they call guys who use condoms . . . . . . . . daddy
After surgery there is a little pain that some Vicodin and a few beers can fix. The chronic pain and painful ejaculation are extremely uncommon.

My goodness Douglas! You are the funny man tonight.

I would recommend something besides what I got.
Basically it went like this.
Incision in the side of the scrotum, reach in with foreceps. Pull out the Vas defrens, cut a section out of it. codderize (sp?) the ends and repeat on the other side. The toss a couple stiches in you and pack you full of gauze. You go home and sit on ice packs for the next week only to realize that you are still in pain. 3 years later I still have pain, so if there are other methods I would say explore those.
And Doc, don't get my wrong, I am not angry with you or the medical profession. I just had a very bad experience and I would hate to see Ian suffer the same as I do.

I would ask the urologist what can be done about the painful ejaculations. I just reviewed the literature on vasectomies and did not see any reference to painful ejaculations mentioned.

Well, crap you two.
At least tomorrow is just a consult. I'll talk it over with my doc.
(And if anyone can convince seatclutcher to get a hysterectomy or tubal ligation instead, you could save ol' Ian a bunch of trouble!)
