Dorino's experience - added 28th February 2001
South African NSV experience - watchout if you've hairy legs guys!
Day 1
Due to the fact that my wife is allergic to the PILL, and condoms have been the main contraception, my wife and myself decided on a vasectomy. The big day was at 14:00 on the 26 February 2001. Dr. Botha, a leading Urologist, said that he could do the procedure with his eyes closed. (I told him to close his eyes for the next guy, and keep his eyes open).
I have had a NSV done, and in the whole procedure I felt no pain whatsoever. (Not even the local anasthetic needle - oh maybe a slight prick). The entire procedure took about 20 minutes. I must add, I have a phobia of doctors, and the pain they can administer and stuff. Basically after the anesthetic was injected in the skin, I felt nothing. It felt as if I someone was playing with my nuts. The VAS was tied into a "U" and heat sealed, (both ends).
The nurse stuck a grounding pad on my thigh, and the most painful of the whole procedure was to remove this pad. (I have quite a bit of hair on my legs). The nurses tried to remove it without hurting me. I grabbed the pad, and ripped it off. (It felt as if I was removing a giant band-aid, and leg hair came off with it. (Just like a woman waxing her legs). The doctor said I must not shave, as the scent in the soap or foam, (in his experience) causes infection.
The doctor prescribed some pain killers, and I must say that the pain on the 1st day is a dull (slight) pain in the nuts, as if someone squeezed them. I used an ice pack, not because I felt pain, but because everyone on the internet said that I should. Even though my wife came to the clinic as to drive me home after the procedure, I was ok to drive myself home.
Please guys, a vasectomy should be considered permanent, BE ABSOLUTELY SURE it is what u want. I have 2 kids and I am 36 ( I do not want more kids).
Day 2
I still feel no pain. My wife said that she needs some gravel to decorate the garden, which I collected, and off loaded it myself from a pick-up (Sweat was pouring down my face). Who said that you shouldn't do any physical work after a vasectomy ?? I still felt no pain, and no pain killers were needed. (Oh there was a bit of bruising on the base of the penis... but I felt nothing).
I will go through a vasectomy operation 100 times, before I go to a dentist for a simple filling.
