Hi Here is my two cents worth if you were having a vasectomy would you only do one side ? no the reason is because you would still be fertile , now back...
We feel that some of the long lasting mild pain/discomfort after vasectomy reversal is because of the nerve hypersensitivity – that is why neurolysis may...
Need to Stand, Your last sentence is why I chose to reverse both sides. In addition, I believe vasectomy can lead to testicular damage over time (fibrosis) and...
Marty, I must say that over this past few months, I am beginning to agree with your approach. I had a reversal and am still on meds daily and still have some...
I agree with Mike and Dr. P that postional changes can affect PVPS pain in a variety of ways. So can compression (like in bike shorts)Â and activity. A....
Again, I agree with Mike on the bilateral issue. Leaving one side blocked, when you have already shown yourself to be in the 10% with pain issues, doesn't make...
Sorry for all these posts, but I can only get on here about once a week. Another doctor at my work quit the call schedule, so it seems I'm on call damn near...
I would not be surprised if what you are experiencing is congestion problems. I took Amitriptyline for 4 months and it did not do much for me you except as in...
I had the same decision to make when I had my reversal a year ago. Both my PVP doctor (Dr. Nangia) and my reversal doctor recommended doing my painful side...
I agree that both options have merit - neurolysis or reversal. I still do number of reversals in select pts with good results. But the path and cadaver studies...
Anthony - Very interesting to hear about your new position regarding reversal and Dr. P's neurolysis. I have two questions about this - one for you and one...
Cully, re: #1 - that is why I chose reversal, but my hypothesis that anti-sperm antibodies really are a problem in the development of PVPS has never been...

I hate to confuse things for you. I have a vericocele that was identified on my left testicle. However, it is my right side that has all the pain. The right...
Thanks for all the responses everyone. I think doing both sides seems reasonable and will talk to the doc about it. Also, one thing that sticks in my mind is a...
So I started to feel better for like the 10th time and then subsequently over do it for the 20th. I went on a bike ride for a couple hours, then did some yard...
Todd, three months post reversal I still could not do much. If you can stay pain free as long as you take it easy I think that's great progress and need to...
Dr. P, I have sent an email to the webmaster of www.vasectomy-information.com asking him to refer cases of persistent pain to this group. He has the largest...
Thank you very much Dr.Ellis Sijo J. Parekattil, M.D University of Florida Co-Director of Robotic Surgery Director of Male Infertility and Microsurgery ...
Dear Toddhas3balls, You are doing well - I know that the waiting is frustrating. We still do not have a good understanding of why some men get instant relief...

Thanks Juan and Dr. Parekattil, that is really what I needed to hear. Hope that it will heal and a plan B. Swimming is really a good idea, as I find the...
After 6 months of congestive-type pains at the top of my left testicle, I finally scheduled a neurolysis procedure on that side. My surgeon was Dr. Richard...
Dear Ron, Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. Here are my answers to your questions: 1. Since I am feeling pain in the same spot as before does that mean...
I am down to 900 mg of Gabapentin per day and I have cut off the Tramadol to see where I am at. As a result, the burn at the cut ends of the vas is returning...
Sorry about the confuion you are experiencing. You should try to just contact the surgeon who is doing your procedure to get details. Sometimes, the mid-level...
Vonic, Â Don't have any procedure that has not been explained in detail by the doctor. You should not proceed blindly. You are due "informed consent" and an...
