BiL got a tube cut vasectomy I assume the tubes that connect balls to the pre ejaculated storing sack. Got married again, they did a reversal after 8 years but now they struggle to conceive. Is reversal that touch and go on a guy?

30 in 90 days... man I'd be a different person. Microdosing no-fap. Can't even imagine it as someone who ...tends to things... at minimum twice a day.
I understand there would be tenderness and you really wouldn't want to irritate it for several days. But by week 1 I'd be looking at the least tugging options to get the job done. I remember I once went camping with family. Didn't clean the pipes for like 5 days. The night I got home I took the longest shower of any young mans life. Probably clogged a main drain somewhere. Didn't consume anything but Gatorade and Protien bars for the next 12 hours. It was an event. Doing that to my body for three months.. I'd be fucked, I'd be changed. I would probably have healthier relationships and less ruthless associates. As it is I can only hang with people who live on their own knife's edge. Maybe it's internalized bullying, maybe it's unresolved anger, maybe it's a fight in the guys head between what he know is real and what he wants to believe. But all my friends are fucked in the head too. Probably not from fap addition though. I don't rightly know.

I had mild pain in my scrotum for 9 months after my vasectomy, and it was most painful when I had an erection. I went back to my urologist at about the 6 month mark and all she could offer me was exploratory surgery to see what was up. I decided to just wait and the pain eventually went away.

How common is this and what do you think could have been the problem? I'm fine now, but I still wonder about it.

I've had 9 pregnancies 7 miscarriages. One success and currently pregnant. I'm sure this is going to be my 7th miscarriage in a row cos I'm already bleeding. I'm exhausted and in pain and 40 yrs old. I'm done but my husband doesn't want a vasectomy. Any tips to get him over the line?

How often have you had patients experience recanalization post vasectomy? I am one of the lucky individuals who had an unsuccessful first vasectomy due to this so had to have a second vasectomy that was successful. My doctor said I was his second patient in 30 years after thousands of no scalpel vasectomies.

What is the actual incidence of lasting complications of the procedure, such as pain or decreased libido or sexual satisfaction? We're at the point of deciding who's getting snipped in our marriage for permanent control, and I'm concerned about the possible side effects if my husband gets it done. He has a lower pain tolerance than I do, and a very high libido, and I'd feel awful if he ended up with pain or decreased satisfaction just to avoid condom use. We've already established that hormonal BC for me has side effects we don't want.

My SO, 41m had a vasectomy in 2014. He has said he does have the same complete satisfaction after ejaculation since having the procedure. He also experienced a bloody ejaculation about 4 weeks post-op, and has had episodes of heaviness and pain in one of his testicles. He has seen his provider (USAF with referral to an ultrasound for the pain), but no answers and dismissal when trying to sort it out. My question being, is decreased satisfaction a known thing or is it just a one off kind of occurrence?
