How Long Does The Pain Last?

Even if the man has made the final decision to have a vasectomy he will still be a little nervous about it. Having someone insert a sharp object into your body is going to make you nervous – but having them insert it near one of your most private and precious areas is even worse.

The right doctor will listen to any questions that the man might have before the procedure will begin. Perhaps one of the most popular question that people will ask is what type of pain they will experience once the anesthesia has worn off and they are back at home.

It will be normal to experience some discomfort and pain and soreness in the scrotum and the testicles. People who use the no scalpel surgery will have considerably less soreness because it is non invasive. They might feel something the day of – but two days later feel normal again.

Men who undergo the original scalpel vasectomy may experience soreness and pain for up to a week. The soreness should diminish each day and be gone after a whole week after the procedure has been done.

If the pain continues beyond this point than you should learn to identify how extreme it is and where it is located. If it is moderate than it might just be residual from the surgery. However, if it is extreme and hard for you to touch your scrotum or testicles than you need to visit your doctor immediately. This could be a sign that something went wrong during the surgery.

Some men will continue to experience pain for up to a month because they did not take the right amount of time to allow it to heal. You must refrain from sexual intercourse, sports, and any rigorous activity for at least a week or two.
