Be careful, gents. I had one 29 years ago and it has been 29 years of testicular pain. During the procedure, the pain got so bad it made me pass out cold. When I came to, there were two nurses monitoring me. They had my shirt open and would not tell me what had happened. When I asked the nurses, they said they couldn't say; they told me to ask the doctor. Afterwards, the pain in my left nut started immediately and did not decrease for around 5 . When I confronted my doctor, he said the pain was in my head. He then walked out of the room and would not talk to me again.

Since then, any time I ride a bike too long, work out too hard, lift weights, or just play too hard, the pain comes back. Sometimes it is bad enough to make me feel nautious. It definitely reduced my sex drive and sex was never the same, NEVER. This ruined not just my sex life but my overall life and marriage.

I wouldn't listen to the negative comments on here. I personally know over twenty close friends that have had the procedure, and literally every one of them has the same story to tell. Absolutely nothing changes, soreness for a few days and back to normal. Some men have complications, I'm sure.. maybe those are who are commenting.. but it's EXTREMELY rare

standard Aussie, he sounded more like a sales man than a doctor

What is the research that support what you said? Dr need to use research to support what they say. We can't believe what drs say just because they are Dr

[tobydude]

He's severely downplaying the risks involved. Don't be fooled. This procedure can ruin your life.

Actually this dr. Is dead wrong....

My dad had one after I was born, and he has ZERO sex drive... does he still love my mom YES but that is the 100% full extent of his mental sexual

He sees something that would make most men feel arousal for instance.... at MOST he will find it FUNNY because it is so ABSURDLY RIDICULOUS to

From what I can gather there are men who say that the vasectomy was the most well spent $ they've ever spent because they absolutely LOVE there sex drive being gone for good....

The way it was explained to me is that the brain knows that the Tube has been clipped and then goes "oh i... I can't do that no well then I guess I dont need this sex drive" normally with the sex drive gone men think MUCH more clearly, better/ easier time Focusing, And just all around smarter... PLUS they NEVER want to go back...

Yeah, I made a mistake having this one. Developed inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's) a few weeks after having the vasectomy, and while I cannot show definitive proof of a link, the timing is highly suspect. Note articles say that the inflammatory response from the procedure "PROBABLY" does not cause IBD and rheumatoid arthritis, not DEFINITELY does not cause. Your choice, boys. I say skip it if there's even a tiny risk of you PERMANENTLY ruining your health.

95% of doctors will never tell you the truth, they choose money over health. Unlike mechanics if they ruin something else on your car, you can't sue back

What about the 2% that get post vasectomy pain syndrome? The majority of men have no problems after a vasectomy but saying no one has complications afterwards is irresponsible. Here in the USA if a doctor said what he just said, he could have a serious malpractice suit on his hands from the 2% that do from this video. I’ve Evan heard the reality is a little higher than 2% and one doctor I’ve heard say 1 in 6 have complications but I’ve yet to back that up with a double opinion. This video should be taken down. It’s small but there is risk of long term problems.

Vasectomy lowers DHT levels in the body, DHT is the most important sexual hormone for a man.. My vasectomy destroyed my sex life.

[myfreedom]

He’s lying. Listen to people who have it done.

[jimmykelly]

Quack! there is and I can attest to chronic pain like every single day for over a decade. DO NOT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET IT DONE! Imagine having that squeeze ball feeling and slight nauseous pain forever. Wish I could go back and stop myself from doing it

Getting a vasectomy was the worst decision of my life! I lost my wife and my man hood. I did it a little over 16 years ago at age 27 and I noticed a big difference in the way ejaculation felt and my overall energy immediately afterwards. I lost all my testosterone and it feels weird and dulled in a uncomfortable way when I ejaculate. I can't explain the feeling. You would have to feel it yourself. The only time I feel normal is when I'm taking testosterone. Which I had to start doing at age 29 because my levels were so low. The wrong feeling I get with ejaculation has never went away and I'm now 43 years old. This happens to other men too. Look it up before you talk trash! Please, please look it up before getting one!

Biggest mistake of my life--don't do it.

[sandeep]

Don't believe doctors, new business prospective 🎥

[alisolkanu]

why listen to someone who has a financial interest in performing such procedure. vasectomy is the most barbaric surgery. why cut off something that works

[jimbock]

Over 50, 000 men a year suffer from this crap. It should be outlawed

[hugoanson]

DON'T BELIEVE HIM. IT MAY WORK FOR SOME, BUT SOME ARE LIARS. GET FIT & GUARD YOUR POTENCY WHICH IS PART OF YOUR PERFORMANCE. IT CERTAINLY WILL NOT BOOST IT. HOW CAN IT? YOU ARE HAVING A FUNCTION TAKEN AWAY?

[MrEOM]

Guess I won’t get one… I don’t know what other options I have as a man… 🤷🏽‍♂️

[brandenburg]

This botak makes money from the procedure. Do you think he will say negative things about it?
