Question 1

scrotal hematoma after vasectomy! what is that?

Accepted Answer

Blood: When the scrotum fills with blood...Scrotal hematoma.

Question 2

i have a scrotal hematoma after vasectomy what's the best treatment doesn't hurt just uncomfortable was done on the 14 when can i take anti inflammato?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: The most reasonable course of care at this time after vasectomy is leaving it alone as long as getting better in pain and hardness week by week. Meanwhile applying scrotal support in standing and elevating scrotum in lying position so to ease discomfort and enhance subsiding swelling. More? Ask your doctor timely.

Question 3

what does a post op hematoma from a vasectomy feel like. should it be hard or soft. mine feels hard and size of a pecan. ?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: An uneventful bilateral vasectomy leaves minimally palpable "hardness" in 2-6 months. As to yours, the hardness may just be an occasional post-vasectomy hematoma which may take 1-6 months to resolve and fade. If such hardness persists beyond 6 months, it may represent a sperm or foreign body granuloma related with local sperm leak or stitch reaction depending what was used. To me, I don't use it..

Question 4

i'm a week in post vasectomy with my entire left side of my scrotum having a hematoma.  what can i or should i do to help the situation?

Accepted Answer

See your urologist: Your hematoma is a complication of Vasectomy. It is your urologist;s responsibility to take care of it free of charge. Large hematoma may require incision &amp; drainage of scrotum &amp; placement of a drain, depending upon size. Untreated may take long time to resolve. Good Luck.

Question 5

i had a vasectomy procedure done in early december 22. the large hematoma formed in the right testicle within hours of the procedure. it is about the lemon size and does not feel like getting smaller. shall i be concerned or do i just need more time?

Accepted Answer

: Given the poor blood flow in the area involved I would expect a hematoma in that space to take months to subside, You may want to contact the doc who did the procedure to let them know the issue. They could needle &amp; remove much of the mass of material if it did not form a large clot. You may be better off leaving it alone. I would still contact the doc. They need to know.

Question 6

had hematoma removed from left testicle after having vasectomy, six weeks ago and leaking yellow fluid from tip of incision, is this normal.

Accepted Answer

Needs examination: May not be normal; needs to be examined.

Question 7

scrotal hematoma?  s/p vasectomy 11th day. how large is to large and when should i be worried. right now it's about the size of a pecan there is no pa

Accepted Answer

Keep it up: Best thing to do is to ask the doctor who did the Procedure. In the meantime, put a towel across your thighs so your scrotum is elevated. That will make the swelling go away faster.

Question 8

is it normal for testicle pain 2 weeks after a vasectomy?  could that be associated with a scrotal hematoma?

Accepted Answer

Possible: In general, It is possible to have to testicular pain two weeks after a vasectomy. If it does not seem to be getting better it would seem prudent to follow up with the physician who did the procedure.

Question 9

why can a vasectomy fail?

Accepted Answer

Recanulation: Sometimes, a patient can recanulize, meaning  a tract forms around the procedure.  We don't know why this occurs. This is a rare occurrence, but if you've performed this procedure enough, you've seen it happen.   There is no 100% sure way of permanent sterilization, unfortunately.

Question 10

where do i go for vasectomy?

Accepted Answer

To a local urologist: To a urologist. When no more kids are wanted in the future... meaning, if a parent were to lose his current kids in a tsunami, war, or an earthquake, and then feel he is far enough along in his life not to start over with new babies, then it would be fine to have a vasectomy for "birth control." Vasectomies are permanent and eliminate the need to worry about accidentally getting anybody pregnant.
