Yep.

Over in a flash.
No pain.
The worst bit was the cutting sound.
Didn't have to shave.
No after effects whatsoever and I was back riding a bike in a few days.

I have to, well I hope I do, or I'll be looking a bit silly tomorrow afternoon at my appointment.

My Mrs is putting the pressure on me.
I keep saying no way.
The thought of it freaks me right out.

Me.
Not too much pain.
Yes, had to shave.
Had a bit of an issue with stitches going manky. Not good. Other than that - one of the best things I've done.

Make sure you go for the procedure where they make one incision and draw both pipes through the same side. This way you only have one one cut to heal. Other than that quick job and sorted in minutes with no real after effects. Just do it.

Im still firing full fat for now but a friend had it done twice cos it didn't work first time and another spent 18 months ****ing until he got the all clear. Other than that the others I know seem it have had no ill effects.

Its totally fine - 15 mins, bit of weird feeling tugging on the tubes and that's it. Apart from swollen purple balls for a few days and same few days wearing a couple of pairs of very supportive 'tightpants'.

Back riding after a week. Just don't bash 'em!

Just tell her it is not fair for your next missus.

Had it done, most painful thing was trying to get out of the car after parking in a narrow garage after driving home afterwards, that and having to stare at the Mordillo poster on the ceiling during the procedure.

Had mine done on a Mon lunchtime, worked from home Tue, drove in Wed and the m/c Thu. No problems at all.

Just have it done, far easier for us than for the ladies.

My wife wasn't involved at all, that sounds bizzare. What happens if you're single?

Does your Mom have to sign?

No, she had to consent to it with our GP - 12 years ago.

Rest plenty, make sure healing happens, the consequences of not doing as you are advised can be horrific! All this talk of being back on the bike in a week! 'Act in haste, repent at leisure' could end up as 'act in haste repent in agony'!

Actual op is a doddle!

I've had it done. Firstly I had to go and see the consultant only to be left in a room on my own for half an hour to 'contemplate'. Survived thattest and went ahead and had the op. THE strangest feeling with a bloke in a white smock and a mask fiddling with my bits and bobs. I could see the whole procedure in the reflection of the op theatre lights. I think the most awkward moment was handing my 'sample' to the girl in the clinic for analysis post-op.Hardly any pain afterwards and I was playing in my band the same night. Get it done!!

It was okkkkkkk......

Doc was good settled me down with a scotch and coke.

Started talking about twitching which indeed I was.

Strange feeling having a bloke fondle your balls but hey I'm here so do it to me muddyfunster!!

Informed me that I have a node on left 1 which kyboshed my "man not going to Doctors for nad problem" cancer fears. Result!

A couple of "injectiones" and I was comfortably numb. A small slice and some slight tugging (Quiet at the back) while the executioner pinpointed the corterising.

And then this:

" You may smell somtheing like cooking bacon as I do this. " And the proceadure began.

SSSSsssssssshhh - Smoke rising - SSSSHhhhhSSS - More smoke rising - "Ooooooooooohhhhhh I can smell bacon......"

Lovely:

Left 1 fine - Right 1 not fine. Multiple tugs and pulls, even with the anaesthetic Ouch.

"All done now" says Hannibal. "Here you go!"

Hannibal shows me a good inch of each Vas Deferentia that has been severed.

I ran home as fast as I can.

- This may or may not be true -

Pretty sore but after a couple of days rest it all settled down.

Absolutely love it now, nothing to worry about (Wife and two kidiwinks)and I haven't lost my mojo!!

Had it done in July , the guy in front of me (I deliver his mail) was drip white when he went in and nearly passed out when putting his shoes back on.

I signed the form in one room walked into the surgery over the corridor, lay on the slab where they put a paper napkin with a hole for the meat n 2 veg to go through over me then painted everything yellow with iodine.No shaving.

The surgeon felt my nuts for a bit and numbed me up, chopped 2 holes pulled the pipes through chopped a bit out and put a stitch in the ends then another stitch for each hole.

Everything went bruise purple 😯 and it was sore for a week(about the same as your nuts ache 15 minutes after you got kicked in them) they were just about right after 2.One stitch started to go a bit manky after the 1st week and the doc snipped it out.

I left bikes alone for nearly 3 weeks but haven't had any problems apart from the stitch.

A bit of an ache when the cutting happened, like the after effects of a hard knee to the crotch. Otherwise no problems, 2 days off work as at that time it involved lots of stairs over 5 floors. It's the environmentally friendly option as there's less pollution from female hormones in the sewage outfall.

Very bad experience in theatre which I won't go into.

After-effects, fine. No bruising, massive pain etc. Quite straightforward really. Barring theatre, which I won't go into.

This. After this degree of humiliation they can do anything they like as long as a/ it's quick and b/ they don't attempt to make eye contact or conversation.

Had mine done 11 years ago after the birth of my 2nd child, so with no desire to add anymore to the population count I was sent to along by my GP to another GP's practice 15 miles away. Entered the aging GP's surgery and asked to lay down on a bed where by he inspected my prepared bits and with a few word of explanation proceeded to apply the aesthetic to my nether regions and waited a few minutes before making the incision which I could feel yet he carried on until my murmurs got more vocal, he then turned to me with a surprised expression on his face and asked if I could feel that, in rather higher pitched and rather annoyed tone to my voice I confirmed that is indeed the case. He then bent down towards my nether regions again peering over his half moon specs with an even bigger syringe than before and successfully numbed the area in question and before I knew it job done. I walked rather gingerly down the stairs (Stupid if you ask me, last thing you want to do after an op like that is walk down stairs) Got into my car (why did I drive myself) and drove home. And after plenty of hot baths in seasalt I was soon back up to speed. I stupidly did not return to get a sample of my wriggly sacred ones to see if they were still live, presuming there have not been any more babies I have made the assumption that the op was a success.

I could do it for you when you are in Edinburgh. I'd just use two bricks.

I've been told that it won't hurt - as long as I don't get my thumbs caught between the bricks.

Its great fun, I was able to announce to the missus that I [i]must[/i] go for a ****. Dunno if she believed the twice a day bit, but hey....... 😀

Easy op, no pain, purple baws for a week or so, nice jockstrap momento. 😆

yes, and tried to watch it too, that miffed the surgeon, who seemed to want to talk about football.
quite painless really apart from that strange feeling of having what feels like your insides being dragged out through your ball sack.
Oh and the smell of burning bag skin, not as nice as Bacon..
I gained a pair resembling a Victoria plum which were a touch tender for a few days, especially during rude stuff.

I happened to buy my first mtb 5mins after getting snipped.

i was done 12 months ago. all fine.
4 days after the op i had a water gushing from the dishwasher emergency in the kitchen, and had to wrestle it from under the worksurface. i am fairly sure that contributed to the 6 months of achy gonads i suffered. you need proper rest and no picking up heavy things

also the sample has to be fresh, and delivered at a certain time, in my case logistically i had to have a tug whilst my wife was doing the kids breakfast / school preparation. this led to one of my Wifes favourite rants of mine culminating in me shouting down the stairs -"for christs sake will you try to keep the noise down I am trying to have a ****!"

Done about 10 years ago, as an outpatient visit. The right nut, no problem, I think the Senior Registrar was doing it. No after pain at all, just the odd tugging feeling while they were snipping.

The left nut... I reckon they must have got some oik off the street, or more likely it was a brand new shiny Junior House Officer. They had to go and get the consultant to QUOTE rummage around UNQUOTE 😯 for the vas def which had retreated into my scrotum.

As the (male) nurse wheeled me into the ward he had a quiet word with the sister, and said I'd had a fair bit of trauma 😐 So for about 10 days I had one nut doing a good impression of Buster Gonad, the other perfectly fine. Very frustrating as most people seem to have no worries. Missed Mayhem too!

But it did give me the perfect excuse to go and get a full susser 😀

as part of the deal, I insisted that the wife assisted with every single one of the 64 recommended pipe clearance manoeuvres before sending the specimen for checking.

Oddly, she never got to see the literature where 64 was recommended.

Would consider having it done however being fairly medically ignorant and at the risk of sounding very stupid, once you've had the snip . . . . .

How can the other stuff (the stuff apart from the sperm) still get out if the tubes have been sealed? Surely it can't just keep building up in there?

Same with the sperm, does that just keep building up and start going off in there, or does the body just stop making it?

Any impact on testosterone levels, sex drive, or being able to 'get it up'?

Google is your friend, but:

You still produce semen, just no sperm in there
The sperm produced is dissolved by the body
No impact on 'getting it up'

Ha, everyone on here only recommends their own bike. No way would anyone say if their old chap failed after the snip or any other reason.

Most of the ejaculate is produced by the prostate which continues to do its job. As Paulosoxo says all its missing are the swimmers!
