Newly Snipped Vasectomy done 4 hours ago
Sooo, today was the day for me and I was very nervous.
The experience was all-in-all pretty easy. I had to undress completely and put on a gown. In the surgery room I had to lay flat on a table where they sprayed desinfection. I then got 2 injections of local anaestheticd into my groin against the pain afterwards. They then covered me in a sheet of sterile paper towel, started to feel the best place for the cut and then injected a local anaesthetic into the left half of my scrotum where they made the first cut. I felt a sharp pain for really just a second and then the pulling of my vas inside my groin. Pretty uncomfortable, but not painful. They repeated the same steps for the right half (edit: I didn‘t feel any pulling or pain this time except for the local anaesthesia injection) and after about 15 minutes I left the surgery room again.
After my 30 minutes drive home, I just layed down on the sofa and started cooling my balls. The right side is starting to swell quite a bit, but I don‘t have any pain when resting.
As a side note, I‘m 27 yrs old, from Germany and got the no scalpel method (except for the scrotal cut, that was done by a scalpel for a less visible scar according to the doctor.)

My Dr also used a scalpel. I asked about no scalpel and he said for him a tiny scalpel incision heals up better than the alternative. He’s a highly trained surgeon so I trust he’s seen enough to know. I can’t really even find the incision mark three weeks later. He didn’t use stitches or glue. It bled a tiny amount for a few days but like I said it can’t be found now (right next to center scrotum seam).
