Who’s had? Or a partner/friend who did? The fall of Roe convinced us to finally stop being lazy and get one. Seems like a pretty simple procedure. Took 10 minutes to get a consultation for 16 hours from now, snip snip in 30 minutes or less (post-consultation that is - a week or two later), couple days of pain.
Compared to how I hear men talk of colonoscopies (which are annoying at worst nearly all the time) it seems extremely simple. Worst part of a colonoscopy is either scheduling it or being hungry for a day.
No experience with a vasectomy, but I didn’t have pain at all after colonoscopy. Worst part was drinking the prep, even more so than the reaction to the prep.
Funny story regarding vasectomy. Friend who bikes a lot went to get it done. Chit chat with doc about stuff led to biking, which led to doc asking “So are you one of the dudes who rides up and down [xxx] street?”, which is a bit of traffic bottleneck. Friend says, “Seeing where you’ll be cutting me, I decline to answer”
Probably been a decade or so for me. It was simple enough I really don’t remember much. It was an outpatient procedure on a Friday morning and I hung out on the couch the rest of the weekend but feel like it was more rest that I necessarily needed.
Was done in hospital (reasons I will not post here).
Actually drove to FL (from NY) the day after (ok, a mistake, I was only person bringing grapefruit into FL)
For the most part, no big deal. Makes sex less inhibited and more spontaneous.
So, my doctor actually told me he tried to do his own vasectomy, and in realized after he started that he wasn’t as limber as he thought, so he had to call in another MD to finish.
Husband did it maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Some pain, maybe a few days, really not too bad. The annoying part was the post-procedure testing, took a few months before we got the all clear.
Snipped and echo the not bad at all experiences here.
They just gave us a sealable cup and had to provide a sample produced at home and then dropped off at the lab within some reasonable timeframe (an hour? don’t remember). Not a hassle at all.
