I collected a few stories so people who come here will see the similarities. My comments are in a different font. Another unsettling thing was that the...
This man has decrease in pleasure from orgasm, decreased interest in sex, and the now famous "weird contracting feeling in the testicles" during or after...
On the references page in the bottom right-hand box I have linked several articles in pdf format. They open in a new window now and provide the core articles...
Bernie - I concur with Dr. Ellis' recommendation to speak with Dr. Marks. As it turns out, it appears that my original reversal is still in tact, although I...
Brian - I have a question and a recommendation. Question: what follow up surgery did you have related to your pains? Recommendation: Be very suspicious and...
I agree entirely, but why is it that most do not recognise this condition? I don't know and as far as finding a uro that does, I found the pretty tuff and in...
Follow the money, Michael, follow the money. Urologists perform 3-4 vasectomies every Friday afternoon and knock down a cool $5-10k for a few hours work....
I had a spermatocele removed. As for the prostatitis I exhibited none of the symptoms except testicular pain. However when he did the digital exam it was...
Sounds like we had the same digital exam. I had my first ever as part of my initial complaints of post-vasectomy pain. It hurt like he!!. And, not knowing...
No, never a single prostate issue, never any genital pain at all except for the occasional wayward softball or kicks from my kids while I was carrying them....
I agree with Bernie there. The studies that grade pain and talk bout what is a nuisance or not and whether it affects quality of life seem strange to me. ANY...
Hi Guys I suppose I was both crafty and lucky in as much as yes i had prostate symptoms but by this time I had linked them to vasectomy myself. Being a shy...
I put an answer in on that one. Recently, I just put the abstracts of the Leslie and the Manikandan papers as they speak for themselves. That weird guy now...
Selfishly speaking, I like the purpose of the new site but understand why the first site (informing the world about the risk of vasectomy) is necessary. It...
Good to hear that the "neuropathic pain agent", Neurontin, is helping you. It put Mike in the ditch (via sleepiness on the road) and in the drink (via...
Hi it was not dizzyness or sleeplyness that casued the problem, I actually had a complete loss of coordination and could not acurately control my movements. I...
Joe, I continue to be more and more impressed with Dr. Sabanegh at the Cleveland Clinic. Today he sent me an e-mail stating that he had consulted with Dr....
Hi Scott, Wow, that is great that you have such a responsive Uro that is actually being proactive instead of being scared of the situation. I cant imagine...
I think that many here would agree that most urologists cringe when they hear our first words "I'm here because I had a vasectomy and then ....." Dr. Ellis...
Hi Eric, I have actually had 2 uros tell me (after exam) my left epi was detached from the testicle. You can feel that the tail hangs down much more than on...
Dr. Ellis - It sounds like Joe was told post-vasectomy that a detached epi is a possible consequence of vasectomy. Holy $hit. I can't recall reading that...
I guess I never really pushed this issue because the uros said "sometimes its normal" to have the epi be detached like mine is. If you think about it, when you...
I’m afraid I can’t say much about a “detached epididymus” as there is no info on the web I could find about this condition. You can see the anatomy of...
how can something be "sometimes normal" sounds like Dr's crap to me anyway the side effects i had were really wierd after sex i would be ill for about three...
Dr. Ellis - well stated as usual. Thanks so much for the medical explanations that we layman understand but don't have the training to articulate. I read...
Michael said: I had a sperm antibody test done and the result came back at 95% and my uro said he had never seen a reading so high and related it to leakage...
Hi as the soperm antibody test was done prior to my reversal it was done using my blood and donor sperm the reading 95% means that my blood killed 95% of all...
