Feeling of back pressure. Will testosterone injections help?

From David:- I had my vasectomy on March 16 and I am still experiencing a constant feeling of backpressure and soreness that is impossible to not think about, disrupts my sleep, and makes daily life very difficult.

Taking a long time to heal. Is this a sign of potential complications?

From Linda:- My husband had a vasectomy 16 days ago.  He had no significant pain, swelling, or bleeding and the incisions both healed nicely.  However, his left testicle is tender and aches increasingly throughout the day, particularly if he walks around or spends a long time standing.  The aching decreases after lying down to sleep [...]

Can I get pregnant when my boyfriend has a vasclip?

From Sheena:- Can I get pregnant when my boyfriend has a vasclip? The VasClip procedure has been shown to be an unreliable form of birth control.

Wound dehiscence after vasectomy

Is one sample enough?

From Kristen:- My husband had his vasectomy in July of this year (and it is now October). He has, since the vasectomy, ejaculated well over 30 times. His semen analysis yesterday resulted in a “zero sperm” result, so we had unprotected sex pretty immediately. The doctor’s office didn’t tell him he would need to bring [...]

Are diabetes, acid reflux or high cholesterol reasons to decline to perform vasectomy?

From Tony:- Have you ever refused to do a vasectomy based on other diseases an individual has? I have Diabetes, Acid Reflux, and High Cholesterol. There are very few instances where a patient’s co-morbidities would preclude a vasectomy. Diabetes, acid reflux or high cholesterol are definitely not the case in which we would recommend not [...]
