Vasectomy Recovery: My Experience From Day 11 to Day 17

This is part 2 of my vasectomy recovery records.

To read part 1, visit Vasectomy Recovery: My Experience From Day 0 to Day 10

Intro

In these 7 days, not much has happened vasectomy-wise, so this post will be relatively short, or way shorter than my part 1 post.

Day 11, Tuesday

I woke up early, did my daily morning routine, and went to work.

I still had some pain at work, but this time it was way better than the day before. I could even walk normally. Compared to the day before, this one was easy.

The rest of the day was more or less the same as the days before.

Day 12, Good idea, or? Wednesday

I woke up as usual to go to work, started preparing coffee and breakfast, and then my wife woke up feeling really bad.

She ended up in the hospital, and I ended up running around everywhere, preparing the baby, preparing clothes for my wife, and communicating with work because I wouldn't make it in.

I drove to the hospital and stayed there for almost 4 hours, running after the little one.

After we found out that she was going to stay, we went home and there was more work to be done.

So regarding this day, I can't say much, as I had too many things on my mind and completely forgot about myself.

I did have some small, dull pains from time to time, but nothing serious.

That night, I did masturbate and ejaculated.

I needed to relax a little bit, and to be honest, I also wanted to test how everything was working inside.

All I can say is, I didn't relax.

I couldn't stop thinking about what if.

The end result was a small amount of blood in my semen. The semen also looked more watery and not as thick as before.

I was like, okay, that's normal considering that I had surgery and hadn't ejaculated for almost 2 weeks.

But that wasn't the end.

After a few minutes, my testicles started burning in the lower area of the scrotum.

A few minutes after that, the pain got stronger in my thighs and lower abdomen.

Jesus, I was feeling those pulsating pains all the way down to my toes.

But after a few minutes, I think it was around 15-20 minutes, everything started calming down.

Day 13, Thursday

I woke up with my baby next to me.

Actually, she woke me up 😅

This day was mostly as usual.

I checked my bandages, had some food, and my wife messaged me that she was going to be released from the hospital that day.

So we went to pick her up, came home, prepared something for all of us, and put our baby to sleep.

Basically, that day was like any other day, just with more responsibilities.

Day 14, Friday

Nothing special happened throughout the whole day.

Shopping, cooking, taking care of the baby and my wife.

The only thing that changed was that after the shower, I decided to take off the Pflasters, even though the wounds were still oozing.

I figured that if I kept the wounds closed under waterproof Pflasters, they would always be wet and would never properly dry and close.

So, on day 14, I finally said:

Fuck these Pflasters. I've had enough of them.

Day 15, Saturday

I woke up, did the usual things, food, baby, wife.

This time, I decided to get a bit more active, so I took the baby to a park further away from home so she could play in a different park, and I could test how everything was doing down there without Pflasters.

After the park, I took the baby home.

I had some little pains in my scrotum.

I couldn't tell whether it was irritation from my underwear or actual pain coming from inside.

I walked to the grocery store to do some shopping for the weekend, got back home, vacuumed the house, and cooked dinner for us.

Today was also the first shower where I actually washed my scrotum fully and properly with soap.

So happy to finally be without Pflasters.

Day 16, Sunday

For this day, I really have nothing to say.

The pain was almost nonexistent, and if it did happen, it was just sort of a normal thing when you sit improperly or something like that.

Not really pain from the surgery, I think.

I'm thinking that I will stop writing day by day about my vasectomy and instead move to once-a-month updates, just short updates on what's going on and how everything is progressing.

Today, I also managed to sit for a bit longer while working with Nikola Filipovski on updating my website.

If you'd like to learn more about my website, you can check My Journal App Is Finally Live, Built by My Friend Nikola as well as New Features Update: Smarter Features, Better Editing, and Full Control.

After that, we ate, and my wife went to visit her friend.

I stayed with our daughter, and whenever I had some time, I worked on writing about Website Update #3: New Features, Security Fixes & Google Sources, which my friend Nikola published on my website and made it better than before.

I'm thinking I should masturbate tomorrow.

Rest of the day was usual.

I masturbated that night as I stayed alone.

Again, I got some sharp, poking-like pains and a few traces of blood in my semen.

I went to bed, and the day was finished.

Day 17, Monday

Regarding the vasectomy, literally nothing happened.

Almost as if I hadn't even had it done.

I still have these tiny little pains from time to time.

I'm thinking about trying masturbation again.

At the end of the day, I have to do it anyway, as in 2 weeks I have my spermiogram, and I've only ejaculated twice.

I don't want to end up with a positive sperm count at the end.

My finish line is 0 swimmers.

So, at the end of the day, I did ejaculate.

I still got some short, sharp, poking-like pains, but the semen was a normal color and there was no more blood.

The pain after ejaculation also lasted much less than the previous two times.

Note Regarding Updates on the Vasectomy Topic

From now on, I will write just once a month regarding my vasectomy, as there isn't much significant happening anymore.

The next updates will therefore be shorter and focused on anything that actually changes or is worth documenting during my recovery.
