Pictures of normal bruising after a vasectomy at day 6

Home > Index of photographs > This page

These pictures were added on October 10, 2009, and they show normal bruising after a vasectomy. Our contributor says:- "You asked for post-op photos of vasectomies. These pictures were taken on day 6. My husband and I can rest easy knowing this bruising is normal, having looked at other pictures on the site. Since your site was so incredibly helpful, we wanted to contribute to your work and help others rest easy."

Day 6

"This picture was taken on day 6. My husband stated that he didn't notice the bruising till the morning of day 6. By the time he got home for lunch and had me look, he said it was much reduced, and had been somewhat worse that morning. It may be interesting to note that for two days before the procedure, and for the three days that followed, I had him take Arnica Montana 30X HPUS tablets under the tongue every three hours. Arnica Montana is a homeopathic remedy that is extremely effective on bruising and other body trauma which we have perviously used and had good results with."

Incision

This is the incision, also taken on day 6. The image to the left has been cropped to maximise the detail of the incision. Please click on the picture for the full image. "The incisions are barely noticeable. The bruising was only on one side (his left), so it is not noticeable in the incision photos. We think the doctor did an excellent job!"

Incision

Again, the incision. This is the right testicle with no apparent bruising. As above, the picture on the left is a cropped version to show the incision. Click on the picture for the full version.

"As far as pain went, along with general aching and acute sharp pains when moving wrong or being bumped by our toddler or our infant, my husband complained of pain in his upper groin /lower abdomen region (where a woman would feel menstrual cramps, I imagine). We assume that is because the vas were tugged on slightly to extend them out of the scrotum for severing and tying. I watched the whole procedure (the doctor set me up with a front row seat) from start to finish and I was quite impressed with the dexterity and finesse he displayed."

Many thanks to our contributor for submitting these pictures and allowing us to use them. We are looking for similar photo's for the website. Specifically pictures of post vasectomy bruising and swelling as we feel that it will help men know what is, and isn't normal. If you are having a vasectomy, please consider the idea of taking some pictures during your recovery for us to post. As with the above pictures, complete anonymity is guaranteed, and for the purposes of taste and decency, photo's will be edited to be shown in a clinical context. If you are happy to participate, please visit the section index page for photographer's tips and the email address to send your pictures to.
