The following are general stories, detailing the typical vasectomy experience. Some of the stories contain minor short-term complications.
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

I am 31 days away from undergoing the procedure, so my voyage is not yet complete; however, I wish to share what I have learned so far. (I’m scheduled for … Continue reading

Donut-shaped pillowErgonomic Innovations Orthopaedic SeatHad 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
I read all of the positive posts on this website, and each one helped to calm my nerves a little bit before my procedure. I would like to commend this site on the wealth of information and support is provided for me in the weeks leading up to my procedure. Background I have two beautiful … Continue reading
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
View on Amazon Read our review We only recommend products we think are useful for our readers. If you make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.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
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
