Walt’s experience: A big surprise

I had my vasectomy last night at 6:30 pm. I know at least 5 other guys who had the procedure. All of whom said it was a painless no big thing. I of course was nervous all day, 6:30 in the evening was a long wait. So, there were the 5 of us my two … Continue reading

Paul’s experience: Plenty of practical advice

Once we decided to have a vasectomy, I asked my primary doctor for a list of urologists when I went to him for a regular physical. I studied the list, tried to check the doctors’ background on the web, and picked one who was board certified in urology and who had been a doctor for … Continue reading

Bruce’s experience: Nervous Canadian’s story

I was glad to find the vasectomy-information.com website when I was preparing for my vasectomy. I especially appreciated the personal stories and thought I would add my own. I’m a 36 year old Canadian, married with two kids. I don’t want any more children and my wife half-agreed with me. We also discussed how we … Continue reading

My wife’s current opinion of vasectomies can be … Continue reading

Pat’s experience: My vasectomy story

This story was written 7 hours after the procedure, (2 p.m., Aug. 31, 2001) with an ice pack snug firmly between my thighs to help ease the discomfort – and not necessarily pain of my vasectomy. My doctor conducted the hour-long procedure alone, and during the time he made short work of my tubing, he … Continue reading

Scott’s experience: Back to work

Hi folks, Well, it’s done. Last Friday at 8 am. The traditional procedure went pretty smoothly. To prep, the doc asked me to shave, and wash with Hibiclens soap (the same kinda soap surgeons use to scrub). He also prescribed me a Valium to take beforehand. My fiancee and her (13-year-old) daughter drove me and … Continue reading

Jon’s experience: No big deal

I’m a 46-year-old male who just had a vasectomy (no-scalpel variety) on August 3, 2001. I had done quite a bit of research on this procedure beforehand, so I pretty much knew what to expect. The “consultation” therefore was quite brief and we pretty much just got on with it. I had downloaded all my … Continue reading
