Pictures of normal vasectomy recovery with minor infection

Home > Index of photographs > This page

These pictures were added July 23, 2009. Many thanks to our contributor for submitting these pictures and allowing us to use them. I'm hoping he will continue to send in updates as the healing progresses. He says:- "I've attached some pictures of my vasectomy. I would have liked to have found this site prior to my 4 days post vasectomy, but I'll continue to add pictures on a daily basis. The prime reason I've decided to share is not that anything untoward has occured, but I'm having a marvelous recovery. Very little bruising that I can see, and I would like others to see what a good recovery can look like and how good their recovery can be."

	This picture was taken on day 4. Note there is a small red area just below and right of the midline incision. This area can be seen a little better by clicking the picture for the enlarged version.
	Again, this picture was taken on day 4, and shows the incision and red patch from another angle.
	Close up of the incision - day 4.
	"I've enclosed a few more pictures of my vasectomy as I've developed a small infection on my stitches. This is exactly at 1 Week."
	This is day 7 - close up of the incision.

If you are having a vasectomy, please consider the idea of taking some pictures during your recovery for us to post, as we feel that it will help men know what is, and isn't normal. We aren't looking for just extreme bruising and swelling picture as above, but also pictures of straightforward vasectomy with normal recovery. 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.
