I’m going in to get one this afternoon and I’m wondering if there are folks with experience who will tell me whether I can expect to workout this weekend.
Good luck with that procedure. I’m not sure what to say about that other than to follow doctor’s orders.
From what I have read and heard it takes at least one week to recover. After a week you can return to normal activities, although the healing process itself may take upto 2 months. I think that going back to training this weekend is a bad idea. But I am not a doctor. Well I am but not in medicine.
Good luck brother!! I am afraid Im right behind you, my wife says two kids is enough, and if I want to get some I have to do it.
Any affects from the procedure?
Your desire for sex will be reduced, the hormone level of testosterone will decrease and as a result your voice pitch will be higher, and your beard etc will become thinner. The advantage is that you may have fewer hairs on your legs to shave. You may also develop breasts like Mr Tibbs (D cup), which could be fun. Possibly, you may be allowed to race in the female group and you may have a higher rank as a result.
The above is complete crap - you will most likely to be absolutely fine – it is a very safe operation. Just some pain and discomfort. The main risk is a third child, but the medical checks will confirm that the operation was successful.
But thniking what your wife had to go through, it is not only nothing, but it is only fair that you will have to do it.
Had it done the week of thanksgiving last year on that monday. I rode 30 miles by Sunday.
Make sure you lay around for at least 2 days, and cool the boys down. I suggest frozen corn or peas. In the bag of course. Watch plenty of movies. Then slowly start training again around the third or fourth day.
DO NOT SWIM FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. The stitches have to heal up and it coudl get infected in the pool.
Have fun with it. My training hasn’t suffered at all. I’m still slow as ever. Sex is a lot better though. no more worries.
I had one day of pain, 2 days of mild pain, and then within another week I was back on the bike. Get yourself a few bags of frozen peas, they will provide great relief in the day following, while one bag is freezing, the other can be put in use.
Everything, and I mean everything, is exactly the same as it was before. I notice no difference at all, save for the uncontrollable itching, and the strange urge to have my hair done.
Surgery on Friday, on the bike Wednesday (no aerobars), swimming the next day, running the day after that. Wear support undies on the bike.
Believe me, you won’t want to work out this weekend, nor should you. Do everything you can to reduce swelling: elevate, ice, and rest. I wouldn’t try compression…
As for this weekend, no. Next weekend, maybe but probably not. The week after that should be much better.
Internal bleeding can destroy nerves. There is a major nerve group right there (he said pointing). Do you really want to damage that particular nerve grouping by exercising before it is healed?
I was about a week or so to run, 2 weeks to bike and back in the pool. Just grab a couple bags of peas and sit back and watch tv all weekend - good luck!!
To answer your question…not this weekend!! It is not too painfull, but you dont want the boys jiggling, bouncing or pressed on a bike seat. Best bet is to keep them on ice (unless doc says otherwise), and a bag of frozen peas works great for this, just keep an extra on e in the freezer to switch out.
Good Luck…

Apparently in some male species this is the area with the highest concentration of neurons. Some studies have found that a second brain can be developed in this anatomical region with a larger Cerebral Cortex than the one found in the frontal lobe region.
Took me a good 6-7 weeks to get “any” workout in. The Doc said that there is a possibility of chronic pain in the left jewel - needless to say I was worried because I had read of others working out within a week after. But the pain just subsided bit by bit until it was gone.
Good news - by 3 months I was training like nothing had happened.
Yow. I have first hand experience, and not a good one at that. Had my surgery a couple years ago, and waited the minimum time to get back on the bike, may have even stretched it one day less than recommended. In either case, I did about 40K on my Computrainer after 6 or 7 days and didn’t feel too bad. Later that night, I went to a dinner and movie with my wife, one of our few outings alone since my twins had been born about 18 mos earlier. Through the entire movie, I felt like I was gonna hurl, upset stomach, the works. Got home and began to get ready for bed when I noticed my “boys” had turned an amazing color. Let’s just say that if you know what color egg plant purple is, then that describes it exactly. Needless to say, I took several more days off. But in the end, I was no worse for the ride.
I had mine done on a friday a few years ago. Lay around on the sofa all weekend and make your wife bring you beer, frozen peas & frozen corn. Seriously, don’t even walk around the house for the first 2 days no matter how good you feel or you will be sorry. On tuesday I was in the pool and I was running and riding by the end of the week. Enjoy your new freedom.

Training after vasectomy? No problem!! I did four vasectomies last Friday and rode four and a half hours Saturday. I hope the guys I operated on didn’t do the same.
I think you’re crazy to get one; common sense would say to listen to your doctor’s advice and not post it here for all of us isiots to reply to.
I’m afraid to get one!
After my wife’s dad told me the story of his testicles (PLURAL) falling out of his scrotum and having to get his friend to replace them (ie: put them in his scrotum), well that pretty much covers that issue.
No I’m not kidding!
Yes, he ignored his doctors advise, but i dont care…
I would buy a couple three pairs of Bike lycra support briefs. Wear tthem all the time and to bed for the first couple weeks. I agree with the peas and corn and malt beverage therapy this weekend. I wouldn’t be in a big hurry to get back to exercising. Especially power squats or big gear pushing. Take a week or two of ez swimming or light spinning and see how it goes. DO NOT OVERSTRAIN for the first few days. I work with Urologists and have had a vas myself. They all restrict exercise from one to four weeks depending how conservative they are. Hope that helps. G
