A member asked:

What is the recovery like after a vasectomy? complications? how successful?

A few days of pain: A vasectomy involves cutting the tube that transports sperm from the testicles to the outside, preventing fertilization. Recovery is generally fairly rapid, with a few days of pain. Complications can include swelling and infection. Success is typically well over 90%. I would recommend the no-scalpel procedure, which heals quicker.

Vasectomy recovery: Usually done friday...Back to work monday....But no big workouts first week back.....Scapel or no scapel is a marketing tool....Bottom line is a small hole is made in the scrotum to get to the vas and cut it....Very common procedure.
