I just did a vasectomy, it went great, I was fully knocked out for the surgery, no pain at all.

I just wish there were more active communities about this, I read that in the US alone there are about 500,000 vasectomies a year!

And I wish there were more detailed stories about PVPD (Post Vasectomy Pain Disorder) since most of what I found were medical research and it does seem well researched with a current statistical estimate of 1-2% of cases, I would like to know how many were long lasting, how bad, were there signs and also just personal stories.

Anyway, smell ya later!

    One common issue is finding a doctor who will do them. Many doctors won’t do the surgery if you’re under an arbitrary age, don’t have children, are unmarried, etc. So having a network to find/suggest those could be helpful
