This section is a mixture of stories. Most of them are routine complications that were easily resolved, some are longer-term problems that presented more difficulty. Whilst there are risks and complications associated with vasectomy, please be aware we have no way of verifying the accuracy of the information within the stories – please exercise your own judgment! Although all the stories have some form of post-vasectomy problem, not all of the men regretted the vasectomy.
I had a vasectomy two days ago. It did not go well, and I still am not entirely sure what to make of what happened. The doctor was an older urologist who has done thousands of them. He was a very kind man, who seemed intelligent and had a good sense of humor. During the … Continue reading
Hi! Thanks for putting up a great site. Here’s my story: First of all, I am childfree, and perhaps it seems as odd to others as it does to me that most vasectomy literature uses words like “when your family is complete,” etc. I suppose we are a minority! This is one reason I wanted … Continue reading
Here is my story so far… October 15, 2002 I am 37 years old and have two kids. I have a varicocele on my left side and was assured that would not affect the operation which would be straightforward. I had my vasectomy 12 days ago. Initially, after the operation, I felt okay because the … Continue reading

Many thanks to the Webmaster and all of the other men who have shared their stories and provided important information to others considering a vasectomy! I am 31 days away from undergoing the procedure, so my voyage is not yet complete; however, I wish to share what I have learned so far. (I’m scheduled for … Continue reading
8 December Last Friday my number finally came up and I went under the knife. A couple of days later one side swelled up, which I figured was just normal. However, I had to take a trip to the emergency doctors this morning as the swollen side had reached football like proportions. It was causing … Continue reading
Steve’s Story I’m a guy who views himself as always “doing the right thing.” I agreed to have a vasectomy in July of 1999, and share my story in the spirit of the fact that I wish I had this information before making an almost irreversible decision. My wife’s current opinion of vasectomies can be … Continue reading
I’d give you a good story if I had one, but this will have to do. 🙂 Hardly any resistance along the way. I talked to my G.P. first and hit him with my laundry list of reasons. He gave me the names of a few urologists, and I went to the one down the … Continue reading
A while ago on my web page, I told of how our daughter Nicole was born, the last paragraph being “I wonder if I’ll scream as loud as Bev when I go for ‘the chop’ in a short while”. At long last, I have the answer for you (as if you REALLY want to know)! … Continue reading
The Road to My Vasectomy – Leading Up to The Decision My wife and I had been married for 6 years without children when we decided that it was time to do something about our hassles with contraception (we were 29 years of age at the time). We had tried just about every possible contraceptive … Continue reading
Well, I just got the big snip done 4 hours ago on 11/10/2000. I made the call for my first appointment a month ago. I was scheduled for the first visit on 11/07/2000. I went and the usual happened. They got all my information and the doctor asked me to drop my pants to check … Continue reading
At 37 and with three children, I thought enough was enough. We were not in a position to have a fourth, as the flat was bursting at its seams! Condoms always seemed a bother and disrupted the rhythm of things. The decision to have a vasectomy was mainly mine. My GP is Catholic, with 5 … Continue reading
