A Look at Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome

Have you recently had a vasectomy in Sarasota and are struggling with post-surgery pain? Unfortunately, countless men who have a vasectomy experience serious side effects. Indeed, vasectomy pain can make it uncomfortable and even impossible to have sexual intercourse—or even maintain a normal daily life. Vasectomy reversal has been proven to be effective in combating vasectomy pain. Continue reading for a brief look at post-vasectomy pain syndrome, including general symptoms, substantial problems, and available treatments.

General Symptoms

After a vasectomy, men may experience many different kinds of painful or uncomfortable symptoms. Post-vasectomy pain syndrome refers to a broad set of symptoms that account for individual differences but are all still attributable to having a surgical vasectomy. Men will experience pain in their testicles and may also experience pain during erection, in the groin or abdomen, during or after intercourse or orgasm, decreased libido, or decrease in erection. Fortunately, vasectomy reversals can alleviate these symptoms.

Substantial Problems

As Dr. Joshua Green will explain, post-vasectomy pain syndrome is not an uncommon problem. In fact, post-vasectomy pain affects up to 33% of men who have recently undergone a vasectomy. Some men report experiencing pain that is severe enough to substantially impact their quality of life, while others experience more mild symptoms. However, because so many men are affected, it is important to consult with your surgeon at the first sign of trouble.

Available Treatments

Whether chronic or acute, PVPS has been treated with vasectomy reversal. Vasectomy reversal is not successful in completely eliminating all symptoms of PVPS in every case, so it is important to speak with vasectomy reversal surgeons to determine if you are a good candidate for surgery. Vasectomy reversal surgery has proven to be highly effective in reducing or completely eliminating problems associated with PVPS.
