Will I still ejaculate after a vasectomy? | Everything you need to know before getting a vasectomy

Even if sperm is returned to ejaculation , you may still be infertile due to “ anti- sperm “ antibodies now being created . That’s how sperm “ is re-absorbed “ it’s a constant immune / inflammatory cycle, that doesn’t stop after reversal. So it “ might “ be possible to reverse but it’s expensive, logistically difficult , painful and no better than a coin toss.

Also, in full disclosure, the feel good "tingling" sensation in my testicles during ejaculation stopped after my vasectomy.

Just had mine yesterday. The worst part was hearing the snipping and clamping. My nerves were shot just thinking about it but the doctor did a great job of talking to me to calm me down. No pain at all except for the initial pinch from the needle. Got some ibuprofen and an antibiotic but no swelling or real pain so far.

[@adamx6000]

@@leighbyford635 that’s messed up because you are the exception but my jaw has been dropping when I dig deep and hear actual urologist say things like “some reports say 1 in 6”, “I’ve seen reports that show up to 15%” and I’ve also heard from a urologist that 1 in 10 will have mild discomfort that’s not debilitating indefinitely and 20% will have occasional pain now and then??? This is not the sugar coated 1% you get from the surface by Urologist. I also heard a urologist say, “your testicles don’t know you had a vasectomy”. If they don’t know then why are they sore afterwards?

[@leighbyford635]

@@adamx6000 Well " they don't know " is poor language on the MO side. Testes just keep producing sperm. That's all glands do is make a substance that your body requires. Para-thyroids for example can be removed from your neck and placed into your arm and they will continue making Parathyroid hormone. Medicine uses a term : Differential diagnosis " E.g if you have severe head ache the differential will include High Blood pressure, aneurysm, trauma etc. Then the Dr narrows it down to find the root cause. The differential of chronic pain in vasectomy is raised epidydimal pressure, nerve entrapment, ischaemia, nerve damage, chronic inflammation. Issue is they cannot narrow it down more than that. So treatment is a " crap shoot " so to speak. An expensive one. One issue is epidydimal back pressure. You block the exit and the epididymis pressurises and will usually rupture - multiple times , for ever. Hence the pain can come and go. Or it can never go. 1% is certainly not true. It was quoted as .1% only 8 years ago, then 1% now its 2% but as you say some papers have it at 15%. I suspect its likely 1/10. The entire thing is a bullshit. If you haven't had one, my personal advice is do not! I'm 45 and its the only thing I truly regret, like every day. On top of 20k out of pocket I can no longer enjoy sex, or play sport. It nearly ruined my marriage and has taken a lot of Psychological help for me to get to the point where I feel I can live again. I wish you the very best for your future :)

[@JohnSmith-gi7jw]

Getting a vasectomy was the worst decision of my life. I lost my wife and my man hood. I did it at age 27, a little over 16 years ago, I noticed a big difference in the way ejaculation felt and my overall energy immediately afterwards. I lost all my testosterone and it feels weird and dulled in a uncomfortable way when I ejaculate. I can't explain the feeling. You would have to feel it yourself. The only time I feel normal is when I'm taking testosterone. Which I had to start doing at age 29 because my levels were so low. The wrong feeling I get with ejaculation has never went away and I'm now 43 years old. This happens to other men too. Look it up before you talk trash. Please, please look it up before getting one!

How did you lose your wife?. My wife is like its pointless having sex if you can't have children! We have sex but not as much. Probably gonna get it elsewhere.

[@jimburke9161]

My vasectomy went terrible. It was 30 years ago and I still wince when I think about that day. It was the end of the day and the Doctor seemed a little old to still be doing this. It started with the Doctor taping my unit to my stomach before poking me the nuts with a needle for novocaine. Yes, it was very painful. After going numb the Doctor seemed to be having problems with one of testicles. Then the Doctor says" have you have had any medical problems down here" as I can feel him pulling on my nut sack. I said" No Doc what's going on?" He replies" I can't seem to get this one" as it feels like he is pulling on my tonsils through my nuts. On the way home I asked my wife to stop for a 6 pack. She handed me one and I put it on injury and asked for another then finally cracked the third one. It's about then that the valium finally kicked in.

[@leighbyford635]

Well , the prostate is removed , so no more semen. You are bilaterally vasectomised when having a radical prostatectomy. So, 100 % sterile after surgery. Huge risk of impotence too from nerve damage. The sperm production continues and will be broken down by constant immune / inflammatory cycle but higher up as the vas is cut close to the prostate in prostatectomy.

Had one 3 months ago. The guy I saw was a family doctor and not really a Urologist. Everyone told me "Simple and easy! small pinch and 5 minutes and you are done! Was over 30 minutes beginning to end, nearly passed out from that first injection which was NOT a small poke. Was not an easy 3 days for me. Was out of one job for 2 weeks (Well one week i already had for vacation time setup. Took 8 days before i could walk normally and 12 before i was able to have any kind of sex or start the "Cleansing" period. 3 months later every single ejaculation hurts. Any kind of tugging hurts. and has actually gotten worse over past 3 weeks. Before i would just feel a pain in my testies but now i'm getting a pain of what feels like the Vas Def from the cut all the way to my bladder. Called doc up, wait just ice it, make sure you wearing something to keep them tight (Started wearing Boxer Briefs due to this and my wife loves them on me XD), and some ibuprofen. It helps a little but not a lot. Sex feel better than doing it myself as the skin isn't being tugged on as much but yea. It sucks. Had I know it was going to be like this I wouldn't have gotten it or gone to someone else. My doc just had me go to this guys because all their Urologist are months out due to Covid stuff.

Read through the comments over the years and see if you still think that chronic testicular pain after vasectomy is 1%. There is no way it’s 1%. Some meta studies have it at 15% I have had chronic testicular pain both sides for 7 years. Spent 15k and had 3 more surgery’s. Worst thing I ever did .
