Yup...getting the baby maker shut down. I have two healthy kids and don't want any more. I have to have a procedure tomorrow to check out my urinary track. Their going to pump dye into me and take an X-ray to see how everything is doing AND he said he's going in through the uritha (sp?) to take a look around  . I did a standard blood test a month ago and the test results said i had blood in my urine. I ask the DR. if he could do the big V while he was down there and I'm asleep. He said sure.Any tips for AFTER the surgury? Should I wear boxers, briefs, comando? Thanks |

Boxers with an ice pack for the remainder of the 1st day. NO heavy lifting or strenious activity for 3. Move back into normal life style gradually as the black and blue goes away. You will feel a dull ache for a day or so. I took it easy for 3 to 4 days followed the DRs orders and had ZERO problems. Good Luck my friend  Edited to add

| 2 bags of frozen peas one in the frezer one on the nuts rotate when thawed! DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT even think of having sex till you are healed! Mine went fine I have not had any problems. but a buddy of mine could not wait he had balls the size of soft balls he almost lost them! His wife called me and asked if I could help take him to the hospital but when I got there I just called 911 BUT HE IS OK NOW |

Frozen peas are your friend indeed. Avoid blood thinning pain killers (like aspirin). Take it easy for a few days. I scheduled mine for a Friday. I drove myself home. For once I was glad I took the car with the auto transmission in it and I didn't ride the motorcycle!!! I was fully awake and frankly it wasn't what I would call....fun. The problem for me was the shots of the pain killer. "I am going to shove this needle into your nutsack" just doesn't sound like a good plan, you dig? Seriously, no big deal. I hope the other condition you outlined proves to be nothing serious. Get some videos, chill out, and let the wife have her laughs. |
| Tighty whities are your friend along with the frozen peas. Your boys will feel like they have 10 pound weights attached to them if they are not secured properly. Tighty whities, boxer-briefs/jock strap fixes that. Mine wasn't bad at all. Did mine on a Friday morning and I was back at work on Monday and I do physical labor for a living. I took it easy though and didn't do any heavy lifting. |
Wait until you have two kids and one day your wife says, "I think I want to try for a girl." I was signed up the next day. Done a week later. My wife thanks me, now and then for that. |

I had it done the Friday before Labor Day. I was in the doctor's office at 10AM and was home by 11:30AM. The actual procedure only took about 15 minutes. I laid around and took it easy for the weekend. When I went back to work Tuesday, the soreness was pretty much over. It's really no big deal, just do exactly what the doc tells you. +1 on the peas. |

I had it done 6-7 weeks ago.... those that claim it hurts like hell have not had it done! pain is minumal, but there is some tugging sensations... and the next few days it does feel like they tried to pull your belly button out of your nut sack, not pain, just a bit achy. AND above all make sure those stiches get out as soon as possible. my nuts didnt heal for about three weeks.... finaly I was convinced it was the stiches, I got them out and bingo.... they healed right up.. |

Vas's isn't something that you forget quickly. I had mine done in 85 in an Air Force doctors office. could have been 65 degrees, but during the procedure I was sweating like it was over 100 degrees. Strange feeling the operation. Ya the numbing shot stung like a bummble bee. Went home and wife kept the ice bag full at all times. Be sure to use a towel between the ice bag or peas. Do this to the point that you feel like your nuts are going to freeze off for the rest of the day. This will keep down the swelling and thus reduce the pain.. I also agree with getting the stiches out as soon as as possible, but too soon and you will be in big trouble with a ripped incision. For me, the worse part was when the hair on the sack started to grow back in. Talk about wisker burns!!! That had to be the worse part of the whole deal.. |
Got snipped next day was deer hunting up and down hills. Moved a little slow - little to no pain and I killed many kittens emptying the "reservoir" of survivors. After you pass the "test" hit mama like a screen door in hurricane. No more pearl necklaces for the her UNLESS I wanted to give her some new jewellery.
