Thanks for having this group. My PVP nightmare began with a vasectomy in March, 2005 and culminated with a reversal in June, 2006. My 2+ years post-reversal...
After posting my 1st message, I started reading through the site and found MY story in post #382 copied probably from vasectomy- information.com. Too funny to...
Hi Scott I had a reversal a couple of months ago and was warned at the time that it is possible for the tubes to re-block at a later date perhaps this is what...
The patients in the two published reversal series (the Nangia and Myers papers) both noted an incidence of return of symptoms or incomplete resolution in some...
It never ceases to amaze me how crass and discompassionate the majority in the medical (especially urological) community are with respect to PVP. I've chosen...
Hi Anthony The post you recieved is just typical of an upstart administrator, who by their own admission is not a doctor but also goes on to say that the...
I had my second vasectomy on the 12 December 2008 and it took the doctor 1 hour to do, as i had a lot of what the doctor called tissue around the tube and he...
Justin, I will be happy to help if I can. You can email me directly at thetaorunner@... and I will have you call me to discuss your situation. I need...
" I have yet to see an informed consent form that does not make mention of PVPS"  I should show them the one I signed. Absolutely no mention of PVP. ...
Hi Michael - Are you doing anything proactive to prevent a blockage from occurring. My hunch is that I'm going to be presented with re- reversal as the best...
Hi Scott I am on T rpl therapy but not really for the reasons you think what has actually happened is that the back pressure from the vasectomy has damaged my...
Hello to all. I wonder if any of you might be able to help me on Yahoo! Answers. It is an area of Yahoo! that allows people from all walks of life to answer...
I sure tell everyone about it! All of my friends and several co-workers (male & female) have heard about the misery PVP can cause. Of course all of them...
Hi I have had a look and registerd but how the hell do you get the recent questions , they all seem old to me 2yrs plus! Anthony Ellis <thetaorunner@...>...
Hello Mike, When you get to the main screen you have to do a search with the word vasectomy in the search box and hit the tab marked "advanced" (meaning...
Eric, I agree with you that screaming loudly about PVPS in an attempt to imply vasectomy should be illegal makes one look like a crackpot. There are a few...
To all suffering from PVP: My name is John and I had complications from vasectomy as well. I did have a reversal which helped greatly. Based on deep reflection...
Hi John that just about sums it up and as I am sure all will agree the crime is that the urologists do know what can go wrong but find it just too much of a...
I have received a reply from the British Medical Journal on the PVPS paper, part of which follows: "We have considered your article for publication....
Well that strikes me as "typically British" do it our way! " some of the papers you mention are too small" is it really yours or anyone leses fault that the...
Sorry to hear about your suffering, John. I had mine 5 years ago and have had flareups of pain ever since. Just about two weeks ago, however, I was doing VERY...
(first off, I apologize for essentially posting twice: I realized I should have started a new post after i posted.)I had my vasectomy 5 years ago and have had...
Mike, When I say that there are no papers on the sexual effects, I mean, none with that focus. There are many that list individual sexual symptoms like pain on...
Hello Ryan - I'm sorry to hear about your plight. I started suffering PVP back in October, 2005, 8 months after my vasectomy, with similar symptoms to the...
Dr. Ellis - thanks for persevering on behalf of every man you may prevent from having a vasectomy. I'm not surprised by the BMJ's response....PVP is the real...
Ryan, The symptoms you describe are suggestive of an effort induced worsening of a nerve entrapment type of PVP. Of course, a hernia would need to be ruled out...
Hello to all the fellow PVP sufferers out there. My name is Joe, and I am here to confirm that PVP is real, disturbing and life altering. I had my vasectomy on...
I had the nerve-stripping surgery about 8 months ago. Unfortunately, it didn't provide any relief at all. I am at a lose to understand why. Before the...
