Vasectomy recovery time
A vasectomy surgery takes less than thirty minutes.
It is a painless procedure while it is performed using a local anesthetic. Because of its simplicity, vasectomy has a
much shorter recovery time than other surgical procedures. On the other hand, vasectomy recovery time depends on how
the surgery is performed. It is known that.the vasectomy recovery time for no scalpel procedure generally requires a
shorter time because there is no wound that takes time to heal.
Normally, no matter the method a man chooses, the vasectomy recovery time will include some swelling for a few days.
The man may also experience some pain that lasts anywhere from a few days to a week. Inspite of this, recovery time
that includes doing day to day activities is quite short. Therefore, unless the man has a too demanding job, he may
be able to return to work almost immediately. However, the recovery time varies from man to man.
What You Should and Shouldn't Do After Vasectomy
- To achieve better results, make the arrangements to have a full rest day after the operation
- You are not allowed to drive usually for one whole week, so make sure you have set up proper transportation
to guarantee smooth traveling.
- Wear comfortable scrotal support garments or jockey shorts immediately after vasectomy. Try wearing those for at
least one week or more.
- Before to leave the hospital, check with your doctor what painkillers, antibiotics, and/or pain relievers you
should take after the surgery. Ask the doctor regarding when you can start taking showers.
- Try staying off your feet and use ice packs occasionally to cool the scrotal area during the first few days right
after vasectomy.
- If any bad symptoms appear, such as swelling, inflammation or unusual pain, contact your doctor immediately,
because they may turn up to be very severe.
Sex After Vasectomy
You should know that sperm may remain in a man's ejaculate following a vasectomy for up to three months, so the man doesn't become infertile right after vasectomy surgery. It is advisable not to have unprotected sex until the doctor confirms your sterility
