Joe, Ultrasound is good for finding cysts, tumors, and blood collections (hematomas). It is not good for determining if the epi is attached along its whole...
Don't be too discouraged about the ultrasound results. I had no less than 5 between my vas and reversal and every one missed the torsion and nerve impingement...
Thanks everyone for your replies. I guess I dont feel so bad about the lack of result anymore. I just figured because the detached epi was so "profound" that...
Joe, Â As you know, several doctors use testosterone (Testim gel daily or monthly shots) to treat PVP, especially when there are sporadic systemic symptoms...
I just had a vasectomy Friday. (March 27) Today is now the first of April and I have no pain in my scrotom. No swelling or bruising. However I am having a pain...
Hi Steve,  Since it has only been a few days, I would say you should just take it easy and ice it for now. Some people take some time to heal. The docs...
Well, I will say that infection was the one warning the urologist did give me during my consulation. (Nothing about chronic pain of course). Too bad for...
Hey Steve, I agree its way too early to panic. Abdominal pain would not be unusual at this early stage. Even my vas uro told me when he had his vasectomy that...
Hi Steve - Like the others mentioned, most of the members here (myself included) are dealing with long-term, chronic pain from vasectomy. I'm not sure I fully...
Some of you may have seen this one, but it was new to me. http://www.malehealth.co.uk/userpage1.cfm?item_id=400 In it, a Urologist calls the open vasectomy...
Any comments on my course of action would be appreciated. I met with my Cleveland Clinic uro today for the 3rd time since starting PVP 2.0 last December. This...
Well well well, what can I say except this is the very man who professed to europes leader in the no scalpal technique and now to be the leader in reversal for...
I thought you might find that one interesting Mike. The name sounded familiar to me. His claim is false. When you review the literature closely, the NSV open...
Thanks for this article. I'm very interested in these articles that point to sources of neuropathic pain. I have been becoming increasingly convinced that my...
Scott, I read your post appointment data. I must say that your doctor is on top of things and I have little to add. The idea that your sperm count could be...
Hi Anthiony I had seen that one before and my brief has a copy, most of the claims coming from that source are false and the consent form he uses only actually...
Two other things: First, the whole open-ended vasectomy concept baffles me. Wouldn't that be asking for auto-immune problems with all that sperm leaking out...
Thanks. Your input means a lot. I was (and still am) freaked out by the low sperm count, and Dr. Sabanegh really didn't bat an eye at, as if it's a fairly...
As you say, the "open" concept only makes sense if you believe that anti-sperm antibodies are absolutely harmless. Either way, up to 70 to 80% of men form...
Vasculitis? That's interesting.  Vasculitis is basically inflammation of blood vessels in one's veins and arteries. My wife gets that condition off and...
Hi Eric as you say converting a closed to open ended is ridiculas, also as biggest majority of men develop sperm anti bodies and some get a bad reaction from...
I had my vasectomy over 6 months ago and I have been in pain ever since. The pain is not constant and is located on the left side, mostly the eppididimus and...
I'm sorry to hear about your pains. This is not a club that anyone wants to belong to, but you'll find good and helpful people here and among the PVP...
Hi jpcsola,  I have similar issues that you have described. For me, the vasectomy felt like torture and I felt like my body was being ripped apart. I had...
Thank you all for your quick response. This is great information and I really appreciate you guys taking the time to answer. I think I can trust Dr. Nangia...
Hi After reading your mails they just ring bells with me as you have the kind of situation that I had at 6 months however I listened to the docs and just kept...
If you haven't yet posted, please go to these "answers" posts an help me hammer keine kindler an california Rose. I think that kindler is backpeddling a...
