Comments on: Hematoma and swelling after a vasectomy reversal http://www.vasectomy-information.com/wordpress/?p=166 Do you have any vasectomy, or vasectomy reversal questions to ask the doctor?

Still a small hematoma lump in my scrotum. It was pretty rough going for the first two weeks. All I can say is keep ice on it and stay off your feet as much as you can. Hydrocodone at night to help with pain and sleep. I recommend sleeping with a pillow between your legs to limit movement. Doc says it could be a couple months before it is gone. Hematomas are to be expected in this procedure. 2-3 hours of trauma will break blood vessels. If you didn't get one, consider yourself lucky. 4 weeks after my reversal.

He had no pain no swelling at all. Only some bruising about 1 inches long where the stitches are. Now it is day 3 without any pain killer he is healing very well. Please choose your surgeon very well before you trust your life. My husband just has a vasovasostomy in Hartelpool by Dr. Dawson. He had no pain no swelling at all.

I too was under the impression everything would be healing and I could get active about the 7th day. Well, it's Christmas and I have only been out of the house 3 times since surgery. Removed the sutures per doctors orders on the 10th day. Tonight I am bleeding from one side that popped open. Swelling and abdominal pain have eased a bit, but not as quickly as I would hope.

I am on the fourth day of post op from a vasovasectomy and my testicles are swollen to the size of a grapefruit. There is no bruising and very little pain, just (what I percieve to be) severe swelling. I only took ibuprofen for pain. This was at the advice of one doctor who suggested it would reduce swelling. Another doctor informs me that this will increase swelling because ibuprofen thins blood and thus prevents natural clotting. I am off the ibuprofen now but the swelling seems to be constant. I was under the impression I would be walking around after 3 days and now it looks like I will be bedridden for a week. I am curious, how did your husbands condition turn out?

My hubby just had his vasovasectomy on March 18th......days later, massive swelling, puss, fever, etc, etc....After 6 days in the hospital, and IV antibiotics (from the "perfect" surgery)we were told this is a hematoma. I know it had to be infected...But like you, unable to get answers, and little info on the internet. Let me know how your situation goes. Hi!
