Pain 1 Year After Vasectomy Posted: 01-08-07 09:56am
My husband had a vasectomy last january.
In november, he started having some pain
in his left testicle and some swelling.
The dr gave him antibiotics and upon
giving him the second round of
antibiotics, he did an ultrasound, which
he deemed normal. After more pain
ensued, he decided to go to a urologist,
who found that he had two hernias (the
first doc missed these, as we actually
asked if he had one) and cysts in both
testicles. The pain has gotten almost
unbearable for him. Does anyone know if
a reversal would help in this case, since
this is caused by a backup of sperm? I
am also wondering if the insurance may pay
part of it since it would be a medically
necessary procedure vs. A reversal to
have more children (which we do not want
to do!)
i am so upset for him...He's in almost
constant pain, his personality has
changed, and of course, we are not having
sex. He did this for us and for me so I
wouldn't have to get a tubal, and now I
feel just awful that he is experiencing
such agony.
Thanks....

The "cysts" should diminish as the
backed-up sperm are absorbed. A reversal
will not "fix" the problem. It will only
add to his discomfort. The hernias need
to repaired asap. I had a vas. 9 mos.
Ago and i'm still having pain also. I
have no cysts or hernias. Happens to one
in 10,000 or so. That's why they give you
the "1 in a million have this happen"
speech, in case you are that one. I feel
for your husband but think the hernia fix
will make him much better. The "cysts"
will eventually diminish. The pain may
not.
