This approach produces very little bleeding, and no stitches are needed to close the punctures, which heal quickly by themselves. The newer method also produces less pain and fewer complications than conventional vasectomy. Afterwards you may be a bit sore for a few days, but should recover fully within a week. Quite a lot of men have a vasectomy on a Friday and are back at work on Monday.

This was epididymitis or orchitis , which causes is a painful, swollen, and tender testis. It most often occurs during the first year after surgery, but is easily treated.
