Anyone had the snip?

OP if you're going to have it done have a general anaesthetic.

I had a local and wasn't expecting a needle being pushed into both testicles.

Not a pleasant surprise.
 
Had it done a couple of months ago.

30 mins per plum, local anesthetic, not much pain during the op though weird pulling sensations were uncomfortable to say the least. Later that night (and for 3/4 days) they felt proper sore, and bruised up something awful. Walked like John Wayne for a few days too.

Fast forward a month later everything's ok-ish, albeit I got some lingering pain/ache near the cut area, nothing major. Hard to describe, kind of sore to the touch or during a quick movement such as a jog or running up stairs. Couple of sperm samples confirmed I was neutered :D

Fast forward again to today, don't feel a thing, and glad I did it.

Why? 3 Kids (8,5 and 5 months) was enough for me and the Wife.

ps - Take Pain Killers and Ice Packs in the area for the first few days.

They put the needle into the balls themselves?!!!!! Did you get it done at Lidl?

With mine they injected the outer bit of the sack, hardly any pain, small incision then tubes cut and sealed, no pain.
 
Does having the snip affect testosterone levels and stuff?

This is what I wanted to ask too. I'm sure its not the case but have this thought that after the snip, I'd completely lose interest.

As it happens, GF has a coil (which is horrendous when you catch it - for both parties!!) and is due for a tube cut soon. We have 5 between us so not keen on another.
 
My face just scrunched up so hard just then.

So did mine when I had the op :D

My nuts have never been the same since, for some reason I've got a lump of bunched up 'tubes' (been checked out ok). It's almost as big as a nad :eek:

And when I ejaculate I sometimes get a shooting pain up my thigh.

If I could have my time again I wouldn't have it done again.
 
Hi all,

Considering having this done and I was wondeirng.... will I need time off work? (desk job) Will I be able to drive myself home? Do they knock you out or is it just a local?

thanks,

Alex

Basically, they sit you down in a chair, they put something over you to cover your clothes etc. so they don't get messy. Then they ask if you just want a trim or maybe a no. 1 this time. They get the scissors or clippers out and get to work. Then typically you go home the same day unless the cut is particularly good in which case they may take photos to put in the window. You won't normally be knocked out unless they accidentally cut your ear in which case you might faint. Preferably the place will be local to you for convenience.
You will be able to drive yourself home if you have a driving license. Otherwise you could consider taking the bus.
If it's particularly embarassing you may need time off work, unless you are allowed to wear a hat at work.

AHHHHH, why am I getting this uncomfortable feeling in my lower region!

I would never get the snip, ever ever ever ever!

Condoms / the Pill have worked for me and the other half so far and it'll stay that way!
 
Had it done last year.

They offered me a choice of staying awake with a local or getting knocked out. I decided to get knocked out as I hate the idea of being awake and having to make small talk while someone is slicing me up.

For me there was very little pain afterwards, just a dull ache. As for driving yourself home, I would not recommend it, just ask friend to come with you.
 
contemplating having this done also, reading this thread is making my testies tingle but interesting to hear from those whos had it done.

just had our 2nd child not wanting to have any more.
