My wife and I talked for a few years about vasectomy, but she’d been on the pill, and later on IUD and it had been working fine, so we decided she’d use an IUD one more time (the particular one she was using lasts ~5 years). About 5 months ago she went in for the … Continue reading

My doctor, who is by far the most heavily recommended in the area for a vasectomy, took out about 1.5 inches of vas from each side, folded, and cauterized the ends. He warns verbally … Continue reading
Here is my male surgical sterilization experience. I wanted to record something other than the generic, “I worried, it didn’t hurt, it turned black and blue, we tried it out and it still worked, my balls ache a bit, I am childfree, whee!” story. Repeating the mistake of Polonius, “Brevity is the soul of wit, … Continue reading
I had a no-scalpel vasectomy in the fall of 2008. At the initial appointment, the doctor told me I had a varicocele on my left side, but that it was common and I could still have the procedure. A week or so later, the procedure was quick (10-15 mins) and virtually painless. The doctor and … Continue reading

My name is Nick. I am 25 and child-free. I had an open-ended no-scalpel vasectomy, with the upper ends of my vasa deferentia sealed with vas-clips, on June 20th, 2008, when I was still 24 years old. That was about 3 months ago. At 3 months post-op, I can state that I feel I have … Continue reading
Your website is the first place where I have seen this subject explored. My husband was adamant about not having more children (we have three), and although I kind of wanted one more, I decided that my desire was unreasonable and that he was right. However, after years of IUDs, condoms, and other pesky forms … Continue reading
The idea of vasectomy had been kicking around in my head for some time, about as long as could remember, probably as long as I had known about the procedure.

I’m the kind of person that believes that the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is just a pile of nonsense. Prevention is everything! And especially when it comes to procreating, when you’re a guy who just has no interest at all in it! Thus begins my odyssey. I’ve been … Continue reading
First, let me introduce myself briefly. I got divorced three years ago, and I have three kids. 10, 8 and 4 years old. Before we got divorced, I thought about getting a vasectomy done, so my wife wouldn’t need to use the pill anymore (and to be honest, the pill has never been really good … Continue reading
