During vasectomy operation, surgeons cut the channel where the flow of sperm from the testicles into the semen. This is done through a small incision in the scrotum; last few years, the surgeons began using "no scalpel" thechnique, where they make a small hole in the scrotum, without the usual incision.
Men usually experience pain in scrotum after vasectomy, but there is no research found whether the pain is normal after that long.
Now a new study revealed that pain in scrotum after vasectomy is 'really happened'; Dr. Thomas A. Leslie and his colleagues reported in medical journal BJU International, on December 2007.
Still, men need not fear the vasectomy because these findings, says Dr. Leslie from the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. Of those who reported pain in scrotum after vasectomy, only four of them who said the pain worse. The rest was "satisfied" and even "very satisfied" with the results of such treatment, despite experiencing a prolonged discomfort.
"I think men do not have to worry about the pain experienced on scrotum after vasectomy; 'says Leslie." But they should be aware that this operation is not without pain, and discomfort after the operation can be continued. "
These types of vasectomy also gives a different effect. In subjects who undergo non-scalpel vasectomy, the risk of prolonged pain tend to be smaller than those who run the traditional way of vasectomy - about 12 percent compared to 19 percent.
According to the research team, there are a number of reasons why men experience prolonged pain after a vasectomy. They note, 60 percent of men who complained of pain were also felt a lump on one point after the operation - which could indicate the presence of swelling or a mass of inflamed tissue.
Long-term studies currently required to know how the pain after a vasectomy can be lost over time, the researchers concluded.
