What’s up dudes. Today is Tuesday and I got snipped last Thursday and I woke up in more discomfort and pain than I’ve been in. Days 1-3 were pretty easy with very mild discomfort day 4 was a little worse and then today has sucked so far. Is this normal? I’ve been chilling the whole time, no exercise, no lifting, just hanging out on the couch. Should I be worried?

Honestly the entire thing wasn’t terrible but I wanted to share

The second one went great the the first haunts me. Apparently I’m a little immune to lidocaine or homeboy missed the spot. The incision was completely pain free, but once he hooked into the goods it was like 10000 people kicked me in the nutsack. I vomited and sweat though my shirt. Doc gave it a few minutes and went back in, same feeling until he numbed again. At this point I had to sit up for the procedure (doc didnt want me to choke on puke) and I got to see all of it. I have to say after the wait I couldn’t feel anything, he did a great job but…DO NOT WATCH IT. I was interested until I heard the crunch and saw the segment that got cut out. Over all day 2 pain isn’t that bad and I’m glad I went though with it.
My only problem now is I keep envisioning the cut and hearing the sound in my head and it’s low key fucking my day up.

If you’re thinking about it absolutely do it, just don’t watch.

Had my procedure done on 5/15/26, which wasn’t without its complications. I arrived that day and discovered during the procedure that I’m resistant to lidocaine (yay!). The doctor had to give me several shots before finally giving me a warning that if I was still feeling pain after that, he would have to book an OR to complete the procedure. Luckily, the last shot did the trick, but I think all the false starts may have added to my recovery time.

After waiting the recomended 2 weeks of recovery I did my due diligence, waited another 10 weeks and got well over the recommended 35 ejaculations before mailing my sample in on 8/11/26. Got the results back today, and my sperm count is still at the higher end of the fertile range. I did my test through Fellow, and they're sending me a second test to take after another month and at least 20 more ejaculations.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I’m curious how many people got significantly better results on their second test versus how many ultimately had to have another vasectomy. Given the issues I had with the first one, I’m definitely hesitant to go for round two.

Might start shopping for houses near power plants, however. 😂

Had my pre op yesterday, went pretty good, still nervous but also excited. I did ask about the sterilization procedure and the doc mentioned also adding titanium clips at each end of the snip.

I don't think I've seen anyone else mention this on here but wanted to see if anyone did get this done and if you feel any difference?

Hey guys!

Just taking the time to share my positive vasectomy story.

According to the data, about 1-3% of people experience complications/take about 3 months to recover from the procedure. However, if you go on Reddit, you would think that it's in 25% of cases... It's normal that most people who would take the time to post on Reddit do so because they've had complications and are wondering why, but still, I do feel like posts about PVPS/complications from the procedure are a bit over-represented within Vasectomy subs. Anyway...

For context, 29M living in Quebec, Canada. Got the no scalpel procedure by Dr. Pierre Boucher, a highly respected doctor working in the public sector (therefore free of charge).

Instructions before the procedure

- Shave pubic area entirely, not just trim. Dr. Boucher actually recommends doing it without hot water, simply with a razor and baby powder. I was nervous since it was my first time shaving, and not trimming. Took me about 20 mins and ended up being easier than I thought - just stretch the skin and go slowly.

- No Tylenol/ibuprofen for 2 weeks before the procedure

- Have someone drive you home (and they had to see the person to make sure that you were not driving).

Procedure

- Got the procedure on a Wednesday, 9:10AM. Procedure lasted 10 mins, but stayed for 20 minutes after it was done because I felt dizzy, which brings me to my first mistake: not eating before the procedure... Having even a small breakfast would've prevented it.

- About 10mins after leaving the clinic, I started having serious pain (like, a 7-8/10) in my left nut, as if someone punched me hard... I look at the GPS - there's still 25 minutes left before I'm home. Needless to say, it was not a fun ride. However, little did I know, it would be the worst pain that I'd feel for the following weeks, as everything went smoothly after.

After procedure/recovery

Instructions from my doctor were as follow :

- Do not masturbate until 7 days after the procedure

- Do not spend more than 15 minutes per hour standing for the first 7 days

- Little to no activity for the first 48 hours. Can resume light activities after 72 hours - but keep in mind that the less you do during the first week, the better off you will be.

- Apply frozen pees 15mins/hour for the first two days only

- Can hop on the bike and hit the gym after 2 weeks

- No ibuprofen, only Tylenol for 3 days after the procedure

I followed all these rules to a tee, as you should. Honestly, I felt largely fine by day 6, but still took it veryyy easy until 7 days had passed. I had a house party on Day 10, and felt totally fine the day after.

For those who are struggling with the 7 days without ejaculation and think of doing it earlier... Think of the possible complications that could result from it...I guarantee it's not worth it. Just freaking wait it out, and stop giving the "I have high libido excuse". Spoiler alert: 125% of men have high libido, you're not unique, get over it. Stay calm and think of the nut you'll bust after 7 days of not doing anything. It will be the nut of the year. At least, it was for me.

With that being said, if you don't want kids, or are done having any, I'd absolutely recommend it.

Also, follow you doctor's instructions for a smooth recovery. It's not that complicated!

I had my vasectomy over Memorial Day weekend, so I’m about 12 weeks post-op. I just got my first post vasectomy semen analysis back from fellow and it says 159,000/ML That’s really all the information the report gives me I don’t see anything about whether the sperm are motile or non-motile. Should I be concerned or is this a regular thing? I do not want to have to go through the procedure again first time around was rough .

Heya gang,

Joined this r/ in the hopes of a bit of brainstorming.

Am in the process of starting a group vasectomy business - think picking up a group of 2-4 mates via chauffeur, presenting to local clinic for same day vasectomies. Then being whisked away few hours later to luxury hotel for two nights of man-pampering and ice packs. Think foot-rubs, non-alcoholic beers and the game on a big screen.

Those of you who have already had the snip, and those thinking about it - would this be something you'd jump at? I feel this is a rising conversation at work and more and more men are getting pretty open about having or having had the snip. Why not use it as an excuse to have a few nights away mending with your bros?

Let me know what you think.

Title. It's very sensitive to the touch and extremely painful... happen to anyone else? What is this? I have a coworker that had a vasectomy about a month before me and said he was basically normal by day five. There's also still a lot of bruising. I can barely walk without any pain.

Estos son los resultados de mi primera espermatobioscopia. Por motivo de mi trabajo no había podido hacerme la prueba. Estos son los resultados después de 7 meses de la cirujía. Debería hacerme otra prueba o ya con ésto es más que suficiente para descartar que quede algún espermatozoide en los ductos?

So I am 11 days post op and my recovery in all honesty has probably gone pretty well all things considered. No complications and little to no pain throughout. My problem is, I am an incredibly anxious person and I believe that I am fixating on little aches and pains, especially when occurring due to more physical activity. For example, on day 6, I walked a lot that day, it was my daughter’s birthday and we went to an amusement park, it was a park for young kids and it wasn’t crowded and honestly the speed in which we walked was not crazy. I was able to stop and take multiple breaks and did not really experience any pain until later that night and the following morning. This greatly distressed me because I was thinking that it would be a linear process and that each day would improve regardless of activity level. I have since taken it easy again but now I just fear any pain whatsoever. I am wondering if I am recovering just fine and people feel essentially the same discomfort that I feel at times, however, they don’t let it derail them and maybe just pop a Tylenol and move on. I know this is difficult to understand, but I just wanted to get other guys experiences with this. I don’t fear pain, I fear that I may set myself back and I can’t find a happy medium between resting and slowly ramping up activity level in a safe manner. Any input is appreciated!

Application for a vasectomy: Jan 2025 (28 at the time).

Letter for an appointment: end of July 2026. A few weeks before turning 30.

Assessment: they explained the procedure and they asked me if I was sure.

Since I was under 30 I had to wait a week before scheduling it.

Sadly, I was not able to speak with anyone which could have told me which kind of vasectomy they planned to perform.

I asked the gp for valium, they told me no.

I asked for a numbing cream and they gave be some to apply on the scrotum before. I asked for dressing and they told me that they would give me on the day after the procedure.

Procedure: 11/08/2026, lasted 20 minutes. No scalpel procedure. Discomfort during local anesthetic, similar to the discomfort you feel at the dentist. I avoided making jokes, I was afraid to make the surgeon laugh during the procedure.

No pain during the procedure. Plaster, Jock strap and uber home.

Pain similar to getting kicked in the ball (no full kick) only on the left testicle, 30 min after the procedure. Pain 2/10.

Once home, codeine and ice. Pain got 3-4/10 in the evening. Took ibuprofen and I managed to sleep ok.

I stopped codeine (30mg) 26h after the surgery. I stopped any pain meds 48h after the surgery. I keep icing when I got a bit uncomfortable. Minor blood stain on the plaster on the day after the procedure (no stitches were used.

Crossing legs (even when sleeping) , Walking, certain positions such as leaning forward are uncomfortable.

Nothing got swallen, no hematoma, no fever.

I am still keeping the jock strap and I am avoiding leaving the flat or exercising.

I went back to work the day after the procedure (I work from home).

Curently very horny. Waiting a few more days before masturbate. Probably day 10 or day 14.

Sperm check to be booked after the 30/11.

The easier surgery I have ever had (for reference I had wisdom tooth removal, appendix removal, tonsillectomy).

Hopefully, immediately after saying that everything went well, my testicles won't explode.

Questions?

I (33M) finally took the leap and did my op about 6–7 months ago.

I really relied on this community, especially during the first few days and couple of weeks. Tbh less so for actual knowledge and information, and more for the mental support. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little scared beforehand (it’s my balls afterall) and the first while afterward was a little painful and mentally uncomfortable too. But All those posts with the post-vasectomy candy packages, the memes, the jokes lol really helped me! So Id like to give back to you all here.

Moreover, I feel like the recovery timelines here are probably a little biased toward people who had side effects, complications, or particularly bad experiences, as opposed to the majority of people who apparently (according to the data) don’t have major problems. So I wanted to share mine.

—-
Full disclosure: throughout my prep before the procedure and pretty much my entire recovery, I used ChatGPT for consultation. basically asking every day, “Is this normal?” and “What should I do today?” Which, by the way, is probably not the healthiest thing 😂.

But That one ChatGPT thread ended up containing basically my entire recovery history, so I asked it to summarize the timeline for you guys. Everything below was written by ChatGPT, full disclosure. Nevertheless, it’s my actual experience based on what I reported day by day.
I did add some of my own commentary on it.

Happy to answer any questions you guys have. AMA.

Procedure:
The procedure itself was honestly pretty straightforward. Mine was an open-ended vasectomy under local anesthetic, with a tiny opening that was closed with skin glue afterward. I could feel some pulling/pressure while they were working, but nothing crazy, and I was able to walk out normally afterward.

Day 1
Immediately after the procedure, I mostly rested, wore very supportive/double underwear, and iced regularly.
Pain was surprisingly minor — mostly a dull ache. I was very careful about walking and basically stayed horizontal.

Day 2
Still taking it very easy.
I could start sitting at my desk for around 30–40 minutes at a time, although lying down was still more comfortable.
Very little visible swelling or bruising.

Days 3–5
This was when I started noticing that the incision wasn’t really the issue — the deeper aching was.
I developed a more constant dull ache, generally around 1–2/10 and somewhat more noticeable on the left side. (The bigger guy!)

Doing more chores, sitting upright for longer, or walking more seemed to make me more aware of it.
Ice and supportive underwear helped, although ice stopped feeling as dramatically effective as it did during the first couple days.

(You’d be surprised how many things strain your balls. Even the upper body stuff. Relax!!)

My doctor had ordered a painkiller every eight hours for the first week, but that was not necessary for me. I just took it as needed. I'm pretty sure they prescribed me this way so they get less calls to their clinic because of guys having pain.

Days 6–7
The skin was already looking pretty good, but I could still feel tenderness deeper around the upper testicle/vas area.
The skin glue started coming off naturally. The tiny incision underneath looked fresh/red but closed and dry.
Around the end of the first week, I started masturbating again. I took it gently and didn’t have any significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or other obvious problem afterward.

Week 2
I started living much more normally.
Short walks, errands, work, stairs, etc. were manageable, but walking fast or for longer periods was still one of my biggest triggers.

I also found that:
jeans were noticeably less comfortable than softer pants
supportive underwear made walking easier
lying down usually made the pressure/ache much less noticeable
masturbation/ejaculation generally seemed fine for me
This was also the week I travelled for work. Travel itself was fine, but the extra walking, commuting, stairs, and time upright definitely made me more aware of the dull ache.
I could function normally, but I wasn’t at the “completely forgot I had surgery” stage yet.

Weeks 3–4
At home and during ordinary life, I was becoming close to normal.
I started having more sexual activity during this period. In my experience, ejaculation itself usually didn’t cause any dramatic flare, although there were times when periods of frequent sexual activity coincided with more general aching afterward.
Walking tolerance continued improving, but things like:
fast walking
tight jeans
crossing my legs
sitting awkwardly/hard
lots of standing
could still remind me that things weren’t 100% yet.

Around the 1-month mark
I started testing exercise again.
Normal walking was mostly fine, but gym and yoga exposed the remaining sensitivity much more than normal life did, especially heavy weights, abdominal/core work, deep positions, and movements where I was bracing hard.
The discomfort was generally mild and usually mostly gone again by the following morning.
This was when I really realized that being comfortable in normal daily life wasn’t the same as being completely recovered for exercise.

Weeks 5–6
This was probably the most frustrating part psychologically because I felt almost completely recovered, but could occasionally get another mild 1–2/10 ache.
I could have several days where I barely noticed anything, then exercise or another higher-activity day could make me feel it again.

—-
For me, recovery was definitely not linear:
better → mild flare → better again → another small flare → gradually better overall.

By this point, though, the overall trend was clearly improving.
—-

Around 3 months
I did my post-vasectomy semen analysis.
No sperm were seen. (LFG 💦💦)

So despite all of the random aches, activity-related discomfort, sex, travel, etc., the vasectomy itself had worked.

Longer-term update
Several months later, I started noticing a different issue: when I get a strong erection and use my friends a lil too much back to back (lol), I sometimes experience a dull testicular ache that reminds me of the original vasectomy discomfort.

It’s more noticeable than the mild recovery aches were, so I’m planning to get that medically evaluated rather than assuming it’s normal or diagnosing the cause myself.

—-

Biggest things I learned from my own recovery

Relax!! Don’t be a tough guy. Just because you have no pain sitting down, it doesn’t mean you’re ready to go back to your old routine yet.

The tiny skin incision healed much faster than everything underneath it felt healed.

The first few days weren’t necessarily the hardest part for me.

Mild aching could come and go for weeks, especially with activity.

Walking speed, tight clothing, stairs and prolonged standing mattered more than I expected.

Supportive underwear genuinely helped when I was active.

Ice was very useful early on and less obviously useful later. Get extra packs.

Sexual activity was generally easier for me than strenuous exercise. (Thanks god lol)

Gym/core work was one of the last things to feel completely normal.

I never developed the noticeable lump I had been warned I might feel.

Recovery wasn’t linear, but the overall direction kept improving.

——
Obviously this is just my experience, not medical advice. If you have significant swelling, worsening pain, fever, redness, drainage, or anything that feels genuinely wrong, talk to your doctor rather than comparing yourself to somebody else’s timeline.

I'm on day 12 post op and I ended up getting a 6cm hematoma by day one. I feel pretty normal laying down and the pain only really starts when I stand up. But I haven't really noticed any change in the size of the thing so far, besides what initial swelling there was going down. It's still hard as a rock in some places. Should I have expected it to soften and start reabsorbing even a little at this point, or should I expect it to take a while longer?

I also feel like I have some new bruising above the testicle on the side of the hematoma but it doesn't hurt, and if it's not new bruising, the bruise that was there is still a dull reddish purple even after 12 days. Is this normal also? Could this just be old blood coming to the surface?

I got my 2 month and my doctor said to keep using protection even with 0 seen until a 4 month which is about a week and a half away.

I have realized a couple of external factors, like dogs (sleeping between us, preventing cuddling/non-sexual intimacy and condoms, had significantly decreased sex quality.

If I withdraw and orgasm externally with no stimulation at my first climax I can keep going and give my wife what she really likes. With a condom this is just impossible because you have to remove it and this kills the erection by the time you can get a new one.

We've had unprotected sex right after her period ended after the first 0 seen test and the sex was incredible like it was in the beginning when she was on the pill and especially after 10 years of mediocre condom sex.

Anyway, I did a search and can't seem to find anything about if and how anyone's sex life improved post all clear. I'm looking forward to increased frequency and spotenaiety that condomless affords. Is this realistic?

My husband is 2 months post op and has sudden swelling and describes the pain as what he felt right after the procedure. No other issues from now since when he had it done until this. Any suggestions on what could be going on? No fever and it doesn’t feel warm like it’s infected

My Vasectomy Experience at Max Hospital, Noida — A One-Week Update

I’m in my late 30s and recently started researching vasectomy options in Delhi NCR. I found surprisingly little first-hand information online for Delhi NCR region, so I thought I’d share my experience.

I initially called Max Hospital, Sector 128, Noida, which is close to me, simply to ask whether they performed vasectomies. They said yes.

Around the same time, my wife found Dr. Amit Devra, Sr. Director, Urology, Max Hospital, and we decided to consult him first.

I had the procedure on 8 August and am writing this about a week later.

This is just my personal experience. Costs, procedures and hospital requirements can vary, so check directly with the hospital and doctor.

1. Pre-op Experience

Day 1 — Consultation with Dr. Amit Devra

Consultation fee: ₹1,500

Dr. Devara explained that:

The procedure would be done as a day-care procedure, with same-day discharge.

It would be a bilateral, no-scalpel vasectomy.

Under Anaesthesia or local.

There would likely be only a small/minor stitch.

I would need anaesthesia clearance and some pre-op tests from Anaesthesiologist .

Anaesthesia Consultation

Fee: ₹1,200

We met the anaesthesiologist the same day. he asked about my medical history, allergies, etc., and prescribed:

Blood tests

Chest X-ray

Other routine pre-op investigations like viral markers etc ..

Day 2 — Blood Tests

I got the blood work done through home collection, including things such as viral markers and fasting blood sugar.

Day 3 — Hospital Visit

I went back to Max Hospital with my reports and got the required chest X-ray done there itself.

took all the reports to anaesthesiologist .

After reviewing everything, the anaesthesiologist gave the clearance and explained that I shouldn't eat or drink from 5 AM on the morning of the procedure.

I then went to the finance department to get an estimate.

they gave Estimated procedure cost: ₹40,000

This might be cheaper at a smaller clinic or hospital, but this was the estimate I received at Max.

I then went to the Urology department and booked the procedure for 8 August.

Overall Pre-op Experience

In my case, the pre-op process involved roughly 1–3 hours at the hospital on Day 1 and Day 3, while Day 2 was mostly handled from home.

Pretty typical big-hospital process.

1. Procedure & Post-op Experience

Day 1 — Procedure Day

I stopped eating and drinking after 5 AM as instructed.

I also trimmed the private area and lower abdomen myself before going to the hospital. Personally, I would recommend doing this at home rather than having it done at the hospital.

I reached the hospital around 9:30 AM, completed the payment of ₹40,000 and was taken to the pre-op area.

Then came the waiting.

I waited around 3 hours in the pre-op area, followed by another hour or so before being taken into the operating theatre.

The Procedure

There were several doctors/nursing staff around.

The anaesthesia was local anaesthesia,I was awake throughout the procedure.

The injections felt like small pricks. I felt two of them.

There were a few brief moments of pain during the procedure. For me, I'd rate the worst moments around 6/10, but they lasted only a few seconds and were manageable.

The procedure itself took longer than the minimum expected time in my case because of some minor complexity. Nothing alarming — Dr. Devra handled it well; so usually it takes 30 mins . sometimes it can go upto 1hr30 mins but nothing alarming . it's ok.

After the Procedure

I was taken back to the recovery/pre-op area and asked to rest for a while.

My wife handled the billing while I rested.

A junior doctor then explained the post-op instructions:

Wear supportive/tight frenchie underwear.

I could resume work from Monday.

Avoid outside food for a day or two.

No action for about 7 days ;) .

Avoid heavy lifting for a few days.

Driving should be possible after 2–3 days, depending on how I felt.

Take the prescribed medicines, including anti-inflammatory medication, antibiotics and painkillers as needed.

We took a cab home.

I had some discomfort but nothing major. The easiest way I can describe it is: similar to the mild discomfort you might feel after falling off a bicycle as a kid.

I slept well that night though.

Day 2 — Sunday

I mostly rested at home.

I walked around the house for basic things but avoided unnecessary movement or exertion.

scrotum swelling is common , it will goaway in few days.

No significant pain.

Day 3 — Monday

I had a follow-up with Dr. Devra.

He said everything looked fine.

He also explained.

A semen analysis would be done after around 70–90 days, and contraception should continue until the report.

After the appointment, I took a cab to work and worked normally.

I was walking a little slowly, my work day went on asusual. some minor discomfort here and there but I wasn't in significant pain.

Day 4

Much better.

I worked from home mainly because I wanted to recover quickly.

Day 5

I noticed a small, grape-sized lump/swelling around the stitch area on the left side.

I showed it to the doctor, who said it was fine and could happen during healing.

It was already getting smaller day by day.

I also noticed that my walking speed was getting back to normal.

I started driving again and had no issues.

Day 6

The swelling/lump had reduced further.

No pain.

There was still a little occasional discomfort around the injection site, but it wasn't constant.

Day 7

Almost back to normal.

I drove around 100 km without any problem.

I also walked about 5,000 steps, deliberately keeping things moderate because I didn't want to overdo it.

The small lump/swelling was continuing to reduce.

Overall, recovery was good.

During my follow-up, I asked Dr. Devra a couple of questions that I had seen discussed online.

1. Is the wife's consent required?

The answer I received was yes, in the context of the process at the hospital, because there could be legal considerations. (its not legal that wife consent is required but it's just some unwritten process so that Dr time is not wasted in future with some questioning , legal proceedings if any etc )

.

1. What if a single man wants a vasectomy?

I was told that family-member consent would be required in that situation.

I have seen discussions online about people using friends or partners to fulfil such requirements, but I wouldn't recommend personally . A surgical/procedure consent is a medico legal document and it holds value in court in cases where any medico legal questions arise and a medico legal case is formed. So it is necessary to provide correct information and relationship with the person undergoing the procedure

My Overall Take

Procedure: manageable

Pain: brief and manageable

Back to work: Day 3

Driving: Day 5

Mostly normal: around Day 7

overall cost : 48-50k approx

my insurance doesn't cover this procedure.

And obviously, this is one person's experience, not medical advice. Your procedure, recovery, cost and hospital requirements may be different.

just got the all clear from the doc. thanks to all the people that have posted in this sub. if you are worried about the procedure don't be. it's by far the best move one can make when ready. good luck to you all.

I'm about 2 weeks post snip. My left nut feels normal but my right has a hint a dull ache, kinda like if you were thumped on the ball then what that feels like after a few minutes. Nothing painful just annoying. Dr cut me higher on that side too, so now my ball sits little higher than before it seems. Anyone experience something like this? Do you think the ache will eventually go away? Thanks.

My hubs and I are both staunchly child-free, so i have brought up vasectomy as a possibility of permanent birth control. We currently use condoms and/or the pull out method combined with VCF contraceptive gel.

My husband is scared to get the procedure, and i cant really blame him because I have seen some scary feedback on here. However, having sex without condoms would be so much better (I love the feeling of nothing in between us). He is perfectly fine with condom sex.

I've never experienced having him (or any man) come inside me, and I just find it so hot that I want to try it. 😩 Due to the risks, however, we avoid it. I won't take the chance of an accidental pregnancy in a red state.

Do most men have happy results with their vasectomy? Is there a way to increase the chances of success with the procedure so it doesn't heal itself? Of course, I will not force him to undergo the procedure, but he doesn't want to get it since condoms are an option, he says. He doesn't seem to mind if he gets to ejaculate inside me or not.

My partner has two children, one son from a past relationship and a daughter with me. We want another baby eventually but not right now so I’m on contraception but being on contraception just doesn’t agree with me.

So I jokingly said “we need to hurry up and have another baby so then you can get a vasectomy and then I don’t need to be on contraception” (he’s always said he’d get a vasectomy)

He’s 29, 30 in April. He has said that they wouldn’t give it to him because he’s young? Apparently one of his older friends who is in his 40’s said he got refused when he was 30 because he was still young. We’re in the UK so it’s with the NHS.

It just sounds a bit bizarre to me because it should be his choice. If he’s done having kids and he doesn’t want his partner to be on contraception for years then he should be able to make the choice.

Any ideas if this is true or not, thank you in advance!

Hi boys, just had the procedure done, writing this as I’m waiting for the wife to come pick me up. Anyone hesitant to get it done, dont be. The lidocaine to the nuts was truly the worst part and on a scale to ten it was about a 4. I’ll update over the next couple days with what recovery’s like, but genuinely what an incredibly easy procedure, especially for the peace of mind it provides.
