how long does it take to heal from a vasectomy?

Forever. Dude you just had your manhood sliced ... you can't ever recover from that. In fact have a vasectomy practically makes you a woman. It's true. Men can produce sperm, you know who can't? Women - and guys who've had a vasectomy.

Here's some important considerations:\n\nVasectomy reversal is associated with a pregnancy rate of 70-80% over a two year period when performed within 3 years of the vasectomy.\n\nCumulative pregnancy rates decline to less than 30% after 10 years of the initial vasectomy procedure.\n\nAbout 1 in 6 men over 35 have had a vasectomy.\n\nThere is term called "vasectomy regret".  Some factors are: age under 30, childless marriage, unstable relationship, pressure by partner to perform vasectomy, partner is unaware about vasectomy\n\n\nIt is not recommended for men under 25, but not for medical reasons.

it depends on the protocol, any surgical interventions that you've had, how torn it was....\nI would expect AT LEAST 3x/wk for 6-8 weeks.

After the surgery, recovery varies depending on the person.  Of course an older person would have more time recovering than someone younger.  Complete recovery to where you can walk with any aids would take about three weeks to a month and a half.

No this is perfectly normal with a vasectomy. Those sperm are the "dead" ones that are just clumped togther, his sperm will probably be like this, but just to make sure get it check out by a urologist.

Occasionally vasectomy fails to achieve sterility and the operation may need to be redone. One urologist explains that "failures can occur because the cut ends of the vas deferens spontaneously rejoin or recanalise while healing, so that fertility isn't halted. The likelihood of recanalization depends partly on the surgical technique and is least likely after occlusion (coagulation), although this method is also least likely to offer the chance of later reversal. Rarely, vasectomy fails because there is an extra vas that hasn't been cut." Failure rates among well-practiced surgeons average 2 to 4 per thousand vasectomies, higher with inexperienced operators. In one British study, vasectomies performed by 19 highly experienced surgeons - who had performed more than 1,000 vasectomies - failed at a rate of 0. 14 per cent to 0.41 per cent, compared to less experienced surgeons, who had performed fewer than 200 vasectomies, failing 1.40 per cent of the time.\n\nPregnancies occur in the partners of vasectomized men at an average rate of one in 400 - usually because of unprotected intercourse too soon after the operation. Sperm may linger for weeks in the "nozzle" end of the vas deferens and lead to pregnancy from unprotected sex during the immediate post-surgical weeks. Rarely, even years later, one of the severed tubes spontaneously re-connects and pregnancy occurs. For example, in one case in England, a woman whose husband was vasectomized five years earlier stopped having periods. Thinking the halted periods were due to early menopause, by the time she realized she was pregnant she was already into the fifth month of gestation. Late failures are extremely rare, occurring in about 0.1 per cent of cases. However, pregnancy as a cause of missed periods in the partner of a vasectomized man must not be entirely ruled out.\n\nAny possible long-term health effects?\n\nWhile vasectomy is highly effective, safe and reliable, no surgical procedure is entirely risk-free and there remains slight uncertainty about its long-term health effects. Unsettling reports have surfaced suggesting that, over the long haul, vasectomy might contribute to atherosclerosis, heart disease and, most recently, prostate cancer. After thorough investigation, earlier concerns that vasectomy might contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases are now considered unfounded. Research at Oxford University and at Harvard Medical School found that coronary artery disease was in fact slightly below average in vasectomized men. Similarly, suggestions that vasectomy might be related to testicular cancer have been overturned. The formation of anti-sperm antibodies after the surgery has so far shown no ill effects.\n\nThe remaining concern is a possible link between vasectomy and prostate cancer. Some studies find a correlation, most do not. One 1993 Harvard study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported a slight increase in prostate cancer among vasectomized men. Experts who have examined these and other studies conclude that, although it is possible that vasectomy contributes to prostate cancer, the relationship may arise from bias in the studies. For example, vasectomized men tend to visit urologists more frequently for check-ups and are therefore more likely to have prostate cancer detected early than non-vasectomized men who consult urologists less often. It will be many years before the issue is entirely settled. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization and other authorities maintain that there is no cause for concern, and no reason why vasectomized men should worry about prostate cancer any more than non-sterilized males.\n\nVasectomy reversal - tricky, but sometimes works\n\nOccasionally, owing to unanticipated circumstances - such as divorce, remarriage, the death of a child or other changes - men wish to have their vasectomy reversed. As vasectomy is increasingly popular, so too are demands for rev

Neither is 100% gauranteed.  My aunt got pregnant 10 years after having her tubes tied.  And I have heard of males still getting woman pregnant after vasectomy.  If you really don't want any more, I would say yes, you should both "get fixed" for the best protection :)

I had it done years back. Went in to the Doc. First of all I got shaved. Then the doc traced the outline of my left ball and found the tube just below the surface. Made a minor incision, then went thru the incision - found the tube and snipped thru it, cut a small section of tube off, then sealed both tube ends. Came out the incision & put 1 stich in to seal it. Job done! Took about 6 mins. Laid down for half an hour & then taken home.\nOnly very minor problem being (as the doc told me) about 3/4 hrs later felt as though I'd been kicked in the balls by a horse! Didn't  last long, up and running about like a spring chicken hours later. A week later went back to the hospital for a check and test. Doc examined his work, removed the stich, declared everything fine & sent me off for a test! This required jacking off into a small glass jar - like peaing for a urine test. Given a number to call the next day.  Called - declared negative, no more sperm will be fired.\n\nDon't know what they do today. However, understand they can now fit a tap & just turn the sperm flow off? When U want children, U nip in & they turn it back on. Sounds more like an auto check and sevice.

depends on what kind of vasectomy has been done - sometimes it can be reversed ok - I read of a couple who had a baby, when the husband had had a vasectomy and the wife had been sterilised - so don't give up hope yet!

Some swelling of the penis is normal after a circumcision. A clear crust will probably form over the area. It normally takes 7 to 10 days for the penis to heal after a circumcision.

In a vasectomy, the vas deferens (tubes carrying sperm out of the testes) are cut and tied off therefore preventing the sperm reaching the semen.  The sperm are reabsorbed.  Semen is produced by the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and Cowper's gland all of which are NOT effected by a vasectomy.  There is no change in the amount of ejaculate as sperm counts for only about 1% of the volume.  Orgasm is not effected since sperm play no role in this.  It is the brain...sensory nerves in the penis which, as we know when stimulated will result in orgasm.  Finally secondary sex characteristics are not effected since testosterone (also produced by the testes) is still continued to be produced after a vasectomy.  Of course the use of condoms is still recommended as a vasectomy does not prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.

2 weeks for a calous to form. 6-8 weeks to heal. 6 months to a year depending on your age and health for maxium integrity.

It can take up to six months for the entire hole to heal up...very normal.

Give your eyes some time to heal!!! LASIK isn't like getting a freaking haircut. LASIK is a surgery and it can take up to 6 months to get your best vision. Also, don't expect your eyes to heal at the same rate. Each eye will heal independently and most patients notice one eye is always better than the other. Also normal.Just remember, no one walks around with only one eye opened.
