Vasectomy Procedures Recovery

When the short 15 minute procedure is over your scrotum may be numb for an hour or two from the local anesthesia you will be given. You will be able to leave the office immediately following the vasectomy as long as there are no complications. Wearing tight fitting underwear or a jock strap for a couple days following the vasectomy procedure is suggested since this allows little movement of the point of access of the scrotal sac and Vas deferens.

Dr. Bianco and Dr. Gheiler will give you special instructions to follow after your vasectomy procedure. You can get swelling or bruising which is often created by bleeding under the skin. After the vasectomy procedure an infection on the surgical site of the scrotum can become infected. Infection can also occur under the skin but this is rare. As mentioned before recanalization can occur when the end of the Vas deferens grows back together. Sometimes sperm may leak out of the end of the Vas deferens and accumulate in the scrotum causing a lump to build up. This lump will often dissolve on its own over time and can be treated with pain medication. This lump is called a sperm granuloma and may need to be removed if it becomes too bothersome.
