Hi, there I am Gary from Northumberland in the UK. Just had mine done on the 18th of March 2002. I had thought about it for a long time “even though” everybody you know seems to be saying “So when are you going to have some kids”! I was so surprised how easy the whole … Continue reading
The consultation was basically the doctor telling me what I had already heard from friends and read on the web. The procedure was even easier than what I had been brought to expect. The shots were very light, regardless of how you might think they would feel down there. My Dr. used one incision technique. … Continue reading
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

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
I just got back from my bilateral conventional vasectomy. Overall, it was a positive experience. The pain was a bit more than I thought it would be, but it wasn’t unbearable. Right now, I have a slight ache in both testicles, but it’s not too bad. I did a lot of research on vasectomy before … Continue reading
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
8 December Last Friday my number finally came up and I went under the knife. A couple of days later one side swelled up, which I figured was just normal. However, I had to take a trip to the emergency doctors this morning as the swollen side had reached football like proportions. It was causing … Continue reading
I had a vasectomy about a year ago. I have always had an awful phobia for anything medical. Even the smell of antiseptic brings on an immediate u-turn. My wife and I have three great kids, all born by somewhat troublesome cesarean. Along with a family history of thrombosis, my wife had no realistic option … Continue reading
Just had it done and figured I better put in my two cents. Zero trouble! The procedure took a whole of 25 minutes total clinic time 45 from check-in to check-out. The only thing I can figure why some folk would have trouble would be perhaps the procedure used by the doctor and the skill … Continue reading
Steve’s Story I’m a guy who views himself as always “doing the right thing.” I agreed to have a vasectomy in July of 1999, and share my story in the spirit of the fact that I wish I had this information before making an almost irreversible decision. My wife’s current opinion of vasectomies can be … Continue reading
I’d give you a good story if I had one, but this will have to do. 🙂 Hardly any resistance along the way. I talked to my G.P. first and hit him with my laundry list of reasons. He gave me the names of a few urologists, and I went to the one down the … Continue reading
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

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
I was 35 years old when I got the surgery. I’m single and have not been married. I’m clear about how I want to live my life and I conveyed that to the doctor with enough certainty that he didn’t try to second guess me. My doctor is a Urologist in private practice – Robert … Continue reading
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
