I just had a vasectomy two days ago. I did a lot of reading and web-surfing beforehand, so I was ready. My doctor insisted that I take 5mg of Valium an hour before the procedure – great advice. I was only mildly agitated beforehand. Not really nervous. The Novocain injection was only mildly uncomfortable. On … Continue reading
Hi, Just a short story about my experience yesterday. Unbeknownst to my old lady (aka the wife), I scheduled a vasectomy. I scheduled the procedure without her knowledge because I figured she didn’t care. After the initial visit and before the actual procedure, I asked her if she could pick me up on the day … Continue reading
Hi! Thanks for putting up a great site. Here’s my story: First of all, I am childfree, and perhaps it seems as odd to others as it does to me that most vasectomy literature uses words like “when your family is complete,” etc. I suppose we are a minority! This is one reason I wanted … Continue reading

Here is my story so far… October 15, 2002 I am 37 years old and have two kids. I have a varicocele on my left side and was assured that would not affect the operation which would be straightforward. I had my vasectomy 12 days ago. Initially, after the operation, I felt okay because the … Continue reading
Having been married for 13 years and childless and getting ready to turn 40 my wife and I made the decision that one of us had to do something to take the anxiety out of maybe getting pregnant. I brought having a vasectomy because it was easier for me to go through sterilization than to … Continue reading
I first learned about vasectomy in an article in Prevention Magazine when I was a teenager. The story as about a family who had had their four children two girls and two boys the oldest in their teens and the mother had decided that she did not risk having any more children. She went to … Continue reading
First, I have to say that this site, and the personal experiences listed here, have been a big help to me. The procedure itself was nothing at all, aside from the mental distress and anxiety that I felt that day (and the days leading up to it), it would have been much like an easy … Continue reading
As I found this site very comforting when I was doing research I thought I would relate my experiences for those now considering doing the deed. Some background to start – I am a 38 y/o, recently re-married, an overweight professional who works too much and exercises too little; a normal guy. I recently married … Continue reading
I had a vasectomy 23 years ago and it’s the best thing we have ever done! After reviewing a few of the stories here, we thought I should provide comments on my experience to calm the fears of any who might be contemplating this procedure. We decided to have a vasectomy before we got married. That … Continue reading
Here’s my story if you’d like to add it. First, of a bit of background, I am 30 years old and have been married for 7 years with 2 kids (3 1/2-year-old son & 6-month-old daughter). I am a stay at home dad and have been since my son was born. Before that, I was … Continue reading
At 34 with two children, we decided a vasectomy was the best way to enjoy each other and prevent adding headcount to our family. My wife is a nurse and set me up with a urologist she works with in the operating room. A consultation was required, so we discussed the permanent nature of the … Continue reading
Many thanks to the Webmaster and all of the other men who have shared their stories and provided important information to others considering a vasectomy!

Had my vasectomy performed yesterday. No stitches, very gentle, all in all. What goes on inside your head is far worse than the actual experience, at least up to this point – I haven’t even used all that much ice, and there’s very little swelling or discomfort. I am taking it quite easy, though. For … Continue reading
Got to say that reading this website put most of my fears to rest. The surgery I had my operation on Monday 25th March 2002. Arrived at my hospital at 09:00 as an outpatient and was taken straight in to see the doctor. After a chat about what was going to happen, I swapped rooms … Continue reading
