medical question about Vasectomy
of course, talking to the doctor is best, and we're waiting for our follow up appt in 2 weeks (thanks, HMO) but in the meantime i was wondering if anyone here knows anyone or has had experience like this:
my husband had a vasectomy last year- it was painful (of course) but it healed. however, now he's suffering from severe pain at "specific" times... (um, don't want to be too graphic and overstep the boundaries of the forum)
anyway, it's called Post Vasectomy Pain Syndrome and it's uncommon, but recognized... i've read that the best and most effective treatment is to have a vasectomy reversal, but more babies is NOT supposed to be in my future
... there are other treatment options available, but for the pain he's in, i'd rather just fix it right the first time- we've been getting the runaround from the "specialist" for months now. he's tried anti-inflammatory meds, wearing special undergarments, and abstinence (oooh fun!) and nothing's helped. we've heard about injections and corrective surgeries. just wondering if anyone here has had or knows someone who has had PVPS or a vasectomy reversal and what the results were like?
i know sometimes i'm the queen of tmi, but sometimes it helps to talk about things...
thanks guys
