Hematoma-related swelling/bruising after vasectomy reversal
These pictures show extreme hematoma-related swelling and bruising after a vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy)
Vasectomy pictures
This section contains post-surgery pictures of vasectomies and reversals. Over the years we have collected a wide range of images showing swelling and bruising at various stages of the healing process, as well as pictures of more severe complications.
Many thanks to our contributors for submitting their pictures and allowing us to use them. If you are having a vasectomy, please consider the idea of taking some pictures during your recovery for us to post, as we feel that it will help men know what is, and isn’t normal. We aren’t looking for just extreme bruising and swelling pictures as shown on some pages, but also pictures of straightforward vasectomy with normal recovery.
