Vasectomy recovery

[007fair]

Hi.. not too much of a sensitive subject I hope!

Have any of you guys had 'the snip' and if so how long was it before you were able to cycle again afterwards
Do any of you swim ? were you able to do that earlier?
Guidelines for this sort of thing are vague Is the determining factor your own comfort (or lack of)

Cheers!

I think I left it 2 weeks, just to be on the safe side. I was walking about etc obv before then, but didnt want to cycle too soon.
Someone else will come along now and say they cycled 30 miles home after snippage and parachuted to the start of a triathlon the day after.

2 weeks here as well. You will know when the time is right as soon as you sit on the saddle

cant remember, was definitely a few weeks but I had a hydrocele operation at the same time which left a 3" scar down my sack as well as the tiny 'snip-scar'...

Same here - 2 weeks break, helps when the weathers not the best as you feel that you're not missing out too much - (2 year anniversary here!)

About two weeks for me as well.



When I worked for Caterpiller in Bury St Edmunds, one of the production supervisers cycled 5 miles or so to the clinic to have the snip, and then cycled back to work afterwards to complete his shift.

That man has balls of steel (pardon the pun....)

Yes but I wasn't cycling then, I was running. I gave it two weeks to be on the safe side, it was uncomfortable to have em banging around

Eek! even if there is no pain.. psychologically, how can you ignore whats been done to you and where!

Thanks for the replies all 2 weeks it is but may try a swim after 10 days

I was told to erm... have a "quick shuffle" daily to "clear things out" , so to speak... so that meant cutting down a bit

I intend to remain a 'complete man' thank you very much.

I cycled 30 miles home after snippage and parachuted to the start of an triathlon Ironman the day after

Then I remembered all the above was a dream and I actually left it about 2 weeks as well {whimper}

Nothing incomplete about us Jaffas matey, and no worries either

About two weeks for me too, trying to remember that far back.
