Vasectomy

[3narf]

I've no problem with not cycling until everything is healed, that's the least of my worries!

 

[Downward]

Appointment 12pm, Eventually go under the knife at about 3.10pm. 30-40 mins the op took.

I decided to go Local rather than general but the other 2 cases were general so I had to wait till last.

A lot of waiting bought the anxiety levels up to maximum. Hooked up to the HRM and Blood Monitor I can hear my heart beating away at 120-140 ish

Didn't shave the knackers and they didn't. Brand new theatre brand new hospital but they chose the old scalpel method rather than the non invasive method.

I get covered with various objects and they begin. Kings of Leon on the radio so I just try to chill as the injection goes in with the anesthetic. Just a small scratch not too bad. Couldn't really feel it going numb.
Surgeon then gets the scalpel and makes the 1st cut, Pain bearable. Then roots around for tubes and a bit of pulling. Now this hurts and I let them know

Another injection of anesthetic goes in and the fiddling carries on.
Ooo ouch wince grr somethings not right here I can feel excruciating pain so they give me another injection.

Anesthetic person to my right seems concerned and whispers something to the other nurse about anesthetic given and no wonder it hurts.
Surgeon says something like "It's my theatre in a holby city type moment !
15 mins has gone now and I'm mega stressed but a couple of minutes later they are sowing up opening one.

Now onto Number 2

Pretty much as per one.
15 minutes of covering my eyes with my arm while holding the nurses hand and it was all over.

Off to recovery shaking and freezing cold (I had been told to gown up at 1pm and it was freezing so nearly 3 hours in the nude in Air conditioned area)

Nice Warm blankets given to me out of the warming cover, 20 mins waiting in recovery and back to the ward for a cup of tea and a sandwich.

20 mins later and off to the toilet for a wee, All seems ok.
7 mins to walk to the entrance though to get picked up about 1/4 mile and no wheelchairs !

Back home now since 6pm last night. Pain is a dull ache,pulling on stitches is uncomfortable but took 1 x Co-whatever last night and 1 this morning and just chilling now.

Would I have it done under Local - Erm probably not, Maybe mine was a one off but 6 injections in total to relieve the pain.

I had to have a couple extra deep injections which made me howl for a couple of seconds, but a few mins after that all was pain free.
Didn't have stiches as the holes were tiny.
had I not had an infection afterwards the recovery period would have been really quite pain-free. The worst bit about 'local' was the smell of the quarterizing!

Masturbatory samples need to be done in the next few weeks...

Been through loads of them and I never have any problems on the bike afterwards. It is recommended to let the swelling go down before any exercise and stop at the first sign of discomfort.

What kind of a wimp are you?

I walked into a local Hospital, sat outside a non-discipt room for about 20 mins. Time to go in, kit off gown on, lie on table. Nurse has a quick look and commends me on my shaving. Quick injection each side, knife out, snip snip all done in about 20-30mins.

Pulled my trousers up and walked out. Nothing to it, no pain no discomfort.

A bit of a dull ache im my nuts for a couple of days.

 

[Downward]

Meh - Doesn't actually hurt now but did at the time !

Not wimpy enough to need a General tbf !

If they had done the non invasive method I'm sure the pain would have been way way less

Had mine done in 1981....................penknife sharpened on the stone step, shot of whisky and a spoon between the teeth.......................wimps

Penknife sharpened you were lucky!

Mine was done with a spoon

Just how many vasectomies can you have?

Wonder if he meant Verukas ??

Thread resurection

My time is up !

Saw Doc last week, booked in second week of October. Newer 'no scalpel' technique (yeh right, they still cut you, but once).

Anyone had the newer procedure recently ? More bothered about time off the pedal bike (careful words there). The Doc specialises in them for the PCT Area, so I assume he will be a dab hand ! (flippin hope so) .

Hate injections, but I suppose I should be OK given the number of the ruddy things I had with my shoulder problems (and they were BIG needles).

Tea and sympathy this way please !

 

[fossyant]

Oh PS - Will I have enough time to drive the 3 miles home before the local wears off - should cycle there really .

 

[glasgowcyclist]

Had the normal one done 28 years ago! In a dentists chair.

Blimey, the doc must have had long arms!

I've had the no scalpel job. Hurts like fe.. but heals less painfully, less chance of infection. It's kind of odd when you get the letter proudly proclaiming you sterile!

Should do, but get somebody else to drive you. You've earned it.
