How much did it hurt? I’m thinking of doing it myself

I laughed at this, and it hurt so bad.

That's the adult version of milk through the nose in the lunchroom. A clowns loftiest goal.

During? Not much. I was on a lot of Valium and the numbing agents worked well. 10 hours later though? Feels like someone is constantly squeezing my balls. 7/10 pain scale for me.

Oof. But that burns doesn’t it? This is like low throbbing pinch

Afterward yeah, there’s a lot of burning when you pee and you feel like you gotta go most of the time. You get drugs tho

I have had both a vasectomy and kidney stones. The kidney stones were much, much worse for me.

With you too. Lost 15 pounds over a kidney stone. Was delighted. Get Rx for chlorthalidone and potassium citrate. Will help you.

I had it done about 10 years ago, and in my experience it was mostly just mildly uncomfortable. There wasn't really any pain during the operation (minus the numbing shots, which wasn't really a big deal)

Oddly enough the shaving of the 'operation area' was more uncomfortable than the actual procedure

Good to know. I didn’t even consider them needing to shave…

They don't shave everything, just the two small areas they need to make the incisions

It's not so bad. You're going to want to buy a couple bags of frozen peas, before the procedure. Do this yourself so you know it got done.
