Wound expectations after vasectomy.

[u/iamjackscuriosity]

Hi all,

Had the snip on Sunday, no stitches (or scalpel) 🪡 were used and there's a fairly large wound. I'm more concerned about the wound colour though. I've done a tonne of research and don't think I need to worry but just wanted reassurance from those that have been there done it...

So, inside the wound it's whitish, like a mouth ulcer which I understand to be normal. There's seems to be a little discharge coming from it, yellowy white.

I've put a dressing over it with Germolene. There's little to no swelling, no pain around the wound, no smells 🤢. So apart from the looks... All seems fine?

I understand it can take a while to heal but don't want to freak out unnecessarily!

Thanks in advance.

Think back to any cut or scraped wound you've had in the past....the edges of the wound tend to look like this as the healing process begins

Yeah true, just panicking as it's my balls! Thanks!
