I had a vasectomy last year and am still dealing with the pain on and off. Everyone has their own personal reasons for doing this surgery but I would not personally recommend it because of how unnatural it is and also the risks. They will tell you that the risks are less than 1% but I have a lot of trouble believing this. Anyways, I decided to go with the open-ended vasectomy which in my opinion was a big mistake as most guys develop granulomas which can be painful. Basically one side of the cut is left open and sperm leaks into your sac and your body attacks it by forming granulomas. My choice to go with the open-ended version was to avoid a more serious complication which is called a blowout. A blowout involves a rupture near the epididymis which is some of the most intense pain a man can have. Moreover, my other reason against this surgery is the fact that my orgasms are much less intense then before. Just my own personal experience which I hope others will consider before going through with the surgery.
