Vasectomy question.......?

Just after opinions from men who have had this done. My husband is interested in having it done, but he is only 22. We have had our two kids and he is adamant that he does not want anymore. what are your experiences with getting it done. Hospital stay time? Time in pain? how long till you were able to have sex after ( i know you have to still have some other form of contraception until you are cleared) and how do you feel about it now?Did your sex drive change? any other information on top of this would be apreciated thank you. Also women of husbands who have had it done please feel free to answer with your opinion.

    my hubby had it done. He said it felt like he was being kicked over and over again in the nuts for about the first day. He went in and was done in about an hour. We started having sex i think like 3 weeks later maybe, i don't remember. As far as sex life changing IDK. But everything still works, so no worries there. He had it done in February. Good luck

    it is an outpatient operation usually done in the office, so no hospital stay. it only takes a few minutes. you go in, a nurse comes in shaves you, and then the doc comes in. they use a local to numb you and then do it. they usually do it on friday so you can lie around over the weekend and recover. you just ice things and are back to work monday. i waited like ten days for sex, and then went easy at first as things will be ginger for awhile. until you return a sample and confirm being sterile, you should use protection.

    i was sensitive for a few months, but eventually things returned to normal. now three years down the road, i can tell no difference before and after. sex and everything is the same, maybe better since there is no longer that doubt about your protection coming into play.

    22 is a little young, I think. But I had it done when I was 25 and its the best thing I have ever done. It is done as outpatient surgery(no hospital stay) and is quite uncomfortable. I used a bag of frozen peas that I laid in my lap to ease the pain and swelling. About 10 days later I went back and he took the stitch out (1) Then two weeks later I carried a cup of baby batter to the Dr's office and he told me before I got home, "Dem buggers are swimming fine, just dead". Believe me I have the same amount, taste, actions etc... as I ever had. Just not able to have kids. Which is fine with me. And the wife doesn't have to take birth control.

    1. Day surgery (not overnight stay).

    2. Painful for about a week.

    3. Sex after about a week or 10 days.

    4. No change in sex drive

    5. No change in the experience of sex. Orgasms are the same. Semen appears to be the same.

    I had a vasectomy when I was 21. I have no children at all. They didn’t give me any trouble. It didn’t hurt, but then again, I followed instructions, as most men don’t.

    I never had a problem. That was over twenty years ago.

    The surgery took 15 min. I stayed off my feet for three days, then went back to work. It was as ‘piece of cake’.

    I continued using condoms for almost a year after having the surgery. I get my sperm count re-checked every five years. I don’t take chances with pregnancy.

    I do not know if this will help but I know have a 19 year old son who is a semi pro soccer player. I missed my vasectomy appointment that would have meant he would not exist today. I was also young at the time and did not want anymore kids. After him I had 1 more child a girl who loves her daddy very much. I have often thought about that missed appointment and my two kids after it. I am glad I missed it.
