vasectomy

Got snipped today in the Molesworth Clinic. I was very nervous but it was close to painless, the initial anesthetic was the non-injection type and was like a small flick, after that I didn't feel a thing. Over in about ten minutes. Got the bus home and no discomfort yet.
Doc said about 25 ejaculations to clear out the swimmers, so that's my next goal.

In one day:eek:

Sure he'll have 8 or 10 done before the Mrs gets a chance, purely for experimental purposes to make sure its OK!

Thanks for this - have been looking at this clinic too. Was there much pre-consultation and/or psychological questioning or was it simply paying for a service that you wanted once you understood the permanency of it.

Not much, although I have 4 kids and I'm 36, if I was younger and less kids maybe it's more of a deal. I had a quick chat on the phone initially and got booked in, then a chat for about 20 minutes on the day then snip snip.

It's day 4 now and still no pain. I have to say I'd recommend this place, €450 all in. Wish I hadn't been so nervous.

21 ejaculations to go now

Did you get much of a chance to relax and do nothing? I'm in shortly and I won't get any peace after. Missus says she didn't get a break after pushing it out so suck it up!! ðŸ˜

Not really,I was laughing because he says "go home and take it easy, do nothing" but I'm here because I've a stack of kids and anyone who has kids can't go home and do nothing.

Do a bit of a limp and you might get some sympathy. On the plus side, over a week now a I'd say it's completely painless.

I got in the car after and drove back to work. Just for an hour. Then back home. About 4-6 weeks of discomfort. Tracky bottoms and proper cup underwear. Its feckin horrible. Nothing short of horrible. No pain here althiugh they warn you repetitively about post vas pain. Quite a high percentage (maybe 4-5%) get it and have to go back to get sliced again to relieve pressure. Local anaesthetic is best i reckon although being awake and seeing whats going on through reflection of surgeon light overhead wasnt the best thing that ever happened me. Ask for a strong sedative/painkiller beforehand from the surgeon. Itll calm the auld nerves. Rough times

Cheers for that, will take the plunge in the next while. In my 40's and have one kid and that's enough. Will report back when it's done.

Was there much of a waiting list?

ok so I'm fresh meat. Went into Molesworth this morning at 11.30 and was out by 12.15. Painless besides the slight pinch of the local. Walked back down to get the bus from O'Connell St. Only really sitting down now.
I have crohns disease and because of my medication he prescribed anti-biotics, and i've taken some paracetamol.
Jockstrap on.
Will let you know whether the pain kicks in!
But would highly recommend that fella.

I agree about recommending him. Although I only had one vasectomy so I can't compare but it's completely painless and he's sound. Definitely knows what he's doing.

Still no pain. I presume I'm safe at this stage?

No pain here either. Just the discomfort, rawness, rubbing against leg, dressing wound, weeping, antibiotic due to suspected wound infection, loss of manliness, contemplation of getting breast augmentation surgery now that im an elective surgery eunuch!!!! Just weeks of discomfort. Not at all pleasant, and certainly not better than a kick in the nads

Jesus where did you get it done, the local butchers?
You are definitely the in the Minority here regarding issues after surgery...

Nah. Overdramatising. Did take an antibiotic over suspected infection but that can happen any minor cut also. No big deal. I just thought it was a pain in the hoop tbh. Glad its over with. That is all. Just havin the craic is all.

Lads I'm due for the chop in a few weeks. Screwed up my scheduling and I'm due to go away with the lads for a night two days later (no activities outside of a few pints). Don't want to reschedule either event if I can get away with it. All things going well, will it be OK

Hahaha. I would be inclined to say no tbh. Unless you are gonna keep it sensible enough. I wouldnt be getting hatchets or nuffin.

Oakshade; Keep both appointments! Good god; He's snipping through a couple of tiny little tubes. Not smashing ye testicles between two wall bricks!

If I see bricks, I'm running for the door 😀

Thanks Gents, appreciate your perspective.

OK so I'm booked in for next Thursday to have the snip. Just wondering if any of you have had it done with John o keefe at the morhampton clinic donnybrook and if you would recommend it?

I had mine done with Dr. O'Keeffe last year and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. All done in 15 minutes with minimal discomfort. Staff are lovely and he really puts you at ease. The anxiety beforehand was the worst part by far and afterwards you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about. Any other questions just ask.

Thanks just getting nervous now it's getting close . Kinda doubting the place lol. How were you afterwards for work and that if you don't mind me asking.
