This. Follow the doctor's orders, keep your fellas cool, and manage the pain. I imagine that there are horror stories out there (seen above) but that's not always the case. Use it as an excuse to skip out of the things you don't really like to do over the holidays ("I'd love to go with you to your staff party tonight but my boys are just really sore..." or "Honestly, I really want to help you finish with the Christmas shopping but it aches so much...").
She was very sympathetic, said it looked painful. I told her I wished she could have seen it under different circumstances. Just kidding, I didn't say that, I'm married. Turned out I had developed epididymitis as a result of the operation. Thankfully after a couple of weeks of strong anti-inflammatories and antibiotics things were back to normal. Two years later all is well, love the kids I have and glad I'm not having more.
No don't do it, first of all now your wife won't want sex anymore and second if she does get pregnant now the pool boy did it, then you'll end up killing him. It's all bad just back out
Not bad at all. I put a bag of frozen peas on my nutsack to make the swelling go down, but I wouldnt try working out for at least a couple of weeks.
All I can say is; start your antibiotic regiment NOW!!! By Friday the medicine will have taken foothold and it'll make a huge difference as far as recover goes stemming off infection and soreness.
Mine was a cake walk (two years ago). Worst part was getting the local anesthetic (that or the God awful family planning movie I had to watch!!). Lots of horror stories but for me post-op wasn’t bad at all. I never took a single one of the Vicodin prescribed. Wear something supportive after, and then ice (frozen peas trick is handy) and rest as prescribed, and you’ll be fine. Never had to take a pre or post antibiotic.
Heard of a guy whose wife insisted he get one. After he did, she divorced him. She just wanted to make sure he didn't have more kids with the next wife.
If you plan those 3 days right it can be a lot of fun. I did mine on Thursday morning of first round (ok technically the second if you count play in games) of March madness. 3 days of basketball and a fourth to make sure everything was healing well
There is another/better way, IMO. Been charting wife's fertility for 19 years. Simple. Takes about 2 hours to learn how. No pills and nobody getting spayed or neutered at our house. Did I mention it is free?
