Vasectomy Recovery

Most men find that they only experience minor discomfort following a vasectomy.
While we will provide and discuss our detailed post-operative recovery plans and support process with you during your consultation, our patients also find that knowing the support we provide during the vasectomy recovery process ahead of time and when initially considering having the procedure is also very helpful when deciding to have a vasectomy.
After the procedure, recovering from a vasectomy typically requires a few days of rest and limited activity. Immediately following the procedure, it’s common for most men to experience some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the scrotal area – but nothing that should keep you from resuming most of your normal activities within a day or two.
Our years of experience providing post-vasectomy care and helping thousands of men successfully and comfortably recover from vasectomies have shown us that wearing an athletic supporter, taking pain medication, and applying ice packs is all that most men need to alleviate these discomforts during the first few days after surgery.
While most men can return to work and resume light activities one to two days after the vasectomy, we strongly recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least a week to allow the area to completely heal.
Our Purley Vasectomies staff understands that each recovery process is a little different. Knowing this, our team is committed and available to address all of your specific post-vasectomy questions and concerns throughout your recovery process – it’s one more step we take to ensure you experience a complete, successful, and comfortable recovery.
