Vasectomy can also cause permanent scrotal pain. /r/postvasectomypain

It would be a good idea to spread the word about Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome (/r/postvasectomypain) so that at least men fully understand what they are signing up for when they get a vasectomy.

It's worse than that. There are only a small number of doctors in the USA who are capable of doing a vasectomy reversal. If you vasectomized every man in the country the population would quickly collapse because there aren't enough microsurgeons available to perform all of the reversals that would be required to keep the birth rate up. And "successful" reversals also tend to fail over time, so good luck having a second child after reversal.

Having chronic scrotal pain can have a significant negative impact on your quality of life. Overall, 67% of patients responded that they felt “unhappy” or “terrible” with their present situation. More than 40% of patients complained of depressive symptoms more than half the days of the month. Normal activities were adversely affected, with 52% reporting limited ability to work, 71% patients reporting decreased physical activity, and 62% reporting decreased sexual activity. https://www.tandfonlin…

Vasectomy does generate anti-sperm antibodies (ASA) but I think the premature death concern is unfounded. Vasectomy increases your risk of prostate cancer by about 1% but studies consistently find that men with vasectomy do not have increased risk of dying from prostate cancer or anything else. If anything, men with vasectomy tend to live longer than men without vasectomy -- possibly because they tend to take better care of themselves and be more willing to visit the doctor. There is currently n…

Vasectomy can cause chronic pain /r/postvasectomypain and prostate cancer: https://www.reddit.com/r/postvasectomypain/wiki/prostatecancer Reversal costs 5-10k and isn't covered by insurance (at least in the USA) 90% of reversals return sperm to the ejaculate but about 40% of men who have a reversal are unable to have kids because the sperm is less healthy. Don't get a vasectomy unless you do your research first.

Thanks for that. I have mixed feelings about working on this project because I do think vasectomy is a reasonable option, and I do think that women -- especially women who do not have a BC method that works well for them -- are in a disadvantaged position relative to men. After all, they are the ones who risk getting pregnant. I just think men should be free to say no to vasectomy and that everyone should acknowledge that that is a valid decision that is 100% his right to make. Violating people'…

I don't know why but vasectomy is like a religion to those who had it or want others to get it. It's practically fact-free zone most of the time 👍 Right. There is definitely a political distortion field acting on the topic. One angle that I don't think proponents of vasectomy would accept as remotely valid, but it seems pretty valid to me, is that if you're going to do a head-to-head comparison of Vasectomy and Salpingectomy, while you might acknowledge that salpingectomy has more risk of seriou…

Correct. There is risk in almost everything you do. To put it in perspective, 1-2% is about the same as the chances of: Dying in a car crash if you drive 1-2 million miles.

You should know beforehand that vasectomy has about a 1-2% chance of chronic scrotal pain, and the treatment options are not great. Stuff like taking Gabapentin, surgery to strip the rest of the nerves off of your spermatic cords, surgery to reverse the vasectomy, which costs about 8-10k and insurance will not cover. None of the treatments will put you back the way you are now. It can also make sex painful and orgasm feel unsatisfying. Lots of stories over at /r/postvasectomypain Of course, some…

Not true. Vasectomies make your balls (and epididydimes) bigger because the sperm have nowhere to go and that increases the pressure. For some guys, the increased pressure makes their balls feel sore all the time.

Vasectomy can set you up for chronic nerve irritation in your groin, including the GF nerve which can make your back hurt. This kind of nerve damage can also lead to pelvic floor dysfunction, which can cause poor ejaculation as you say. Lots of guys report this experience, as well as overall unsatisfying or weak ejaculation sensation. 20 months after my own vasectomy I can still tell that my core muscles and psoas are weak.

Vasectomy has a lot of cheerleaders because it is good for the environment, good for women, and good for most men who get one. Unfortunately, it is not as risk free as most people want to believe. About 1-2% of men get chronic groin pain for which there is no reliable cure. Basically it means feeling like you were slapped in the balls all day every day.

No. My wife wears an IUD and that was working fine. She still has it as a matter of fact. Really depends on your situation. I'd say for most couples, they should use condoms until they are in a committed relationship, the pill until they have kids, and then IUD after kids. That doesn't work for everyone though. Another possibility is switching off male condom/female condom or diaphragm.

I meant 98% of guys who get a vasectomy end up ok. They don't get any long term complications. And I would think Vasalgel would have a similar low rate of complications. The thing that is nice about Vasalgel, is if you are one of the guys who gets chronic pain from being plugged up, you can get the gel flushed out and go back to normal. (Well, probably. This stuff hasn't been tried on millions of guys yet.)
/r/seduction24/07/19 03:09 AM

Thing is, 98% of guys are ok, and I think they would be ok with Vasalgel. It's just so much easier to reverse Vasalgel if you end up being the unlucky guy with chronic pain. Very little tissue is damaged by a needle, compared with cutting the vas, removing a chunk, and cauterizing the ends of the stumps.

Complications from condom use are far more benign than complications from even a routine outpatient surgery. Some men experience constant pain, hampered or even non-existent erections, ejaculatory issues, infections, etc. from botched vasectomies. Not even "botched" vasectomies. Properly done vasectomies leave up to 2% of men with chronic genital pain. It's a very sensitive area of the body, and sperm is an immune system irritant. Check out /r/postvasectomypain

Yes. Semantics. 95% success means return of sperm, not return of babies. It's misleading. Here is another one from 2012: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22221608 Chance of babies is less than 50% without assistance. Less than 60% even with assistance. Also, they have a tendency to scar shut over time.

About 15% of couples fail to get pregnant within 1 year without help. After reversal (in this study) about 41.4% fail after 2 years even WITH assistance. So you are at least 2.7 times more likely to fail. We can disagree about whether that is massive or not. I mean, all things considered maybe I should be saying that about 1/3 of reversals fail. That seems like it conveys the odds better.
/r/askTRP07/04/19 06:30 PM

The only thing I said about it was that it was from 2012. Did I get that wrong? It said post reversal pregnancy rate was 44% without help, or 58.6% overall. In other words, the rates haven't changed much from the earlier studies. Bottom line, vasectomy makes it massively more likely that you will never be able to have a kid. And people should understand that before they get one. If I've made an incorrect statement please poin lt it out and set me straight.

If you have a fellowship trained urologist, rates are at least 90% success if done within 10 years. That's just marketing. They are playing with the definition of "success" by defining it as a return of sperm. Unfortunately the sperm that returns is of a lower quality, meaning that the conception rate is more like 60% https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8501790/

Correct. Just like the vast majority of people who drive 1.3 million miles are not killed in a car accident. But people deserve to hear the actual statistics and not just made up ones that are off by 5 orders of magnitude.
