The worst part of mine was the initial numbing shot. I could only feel a little tugging during the procedure. I was sore for a few days after but I was able to take it easy and keep ice on my balls; I never had any significant swelling. All things considered it was a very easy thing to undergo and I encourage anyone that is hesitant to do it.
Absolutely. After my wife and I had our third kid we knew we were done with having kids, and having me get a vasectomy is much easier/cheaper/less invasive than having my wife have her tubes tied, and the recovery period is much shorter.
From experience, the worst part was the initial numbing, because not only do you feel the needle on the sac, you also feel it prick your nut.
One thing I can highly, highly advise is to make sure you do a little as possible during the recovery. First couple days I think I moved around a bit too much, and had some pretty big swelling around the incision area. Not to the point of pain, but noticeable enough that I did kind of worry for a bit. Thankfully it wasn't to the point of reopening the incision, but definitely only move around when necessary, and keep a bag of frozen peas on hand.
Also, a little bonus for my procedure. That day my doctor had a student doctor shadowing him, he asked if it would be ok for them to be in there to observe the procedure. I reluctantly said yes, and in comes this attractive 20-something female student doctor to observe the procedure. So by the time cold ass iodine was put all over my junk, I can imagine how well I was looking down there lol. The entire time I just stared at the ceiling half smiling/laughing to myself based on the whole situation.
Nothing about the procedure was as bad as I envisioned, so if you are hesitant about getting the procedure, man up and do it. It is no where near as bad as you may be imagining, and it is much better than having her ger her tubes tied.
