[QUOTE="keigwin, post: 80191, member: 16350"] On the subject of vasectomy - I had one shortly after our second kid was born. It was easy and sooo convenient because my wife couldn't take oral contraceptives and this solved our problem. Some years later I found a lump on my left testicle and it was tender. Got an ultrasound and the urologist said "I don't know what it is, but we should take it out in case it's cancer." Scared the sh** out of me, so I said by all means, do it. (What he did was remove the epididymis where the lump was.) Turned out to be benign, a sperm granuloma or something like that. These things can result from vasectomy, turns out. Also turns out that, according to a different urologist, the chances of it being cancer of the epididymis were really small. Wish I had known that then. So, because he was concerned about possible cancer, the doctor did a more invasive surgery. This resulted in scar tissue that permanently left my testicle "up". It's not inside me, but it doesn't hang down anymore either. Guess it doesn't matter since it's more of an aesthetic thing, but it bugs the sh** out of me every time I see it in the mirror. Not trying to scare you off of vasectomy, but you should be aware that there can be complications you'll have to deal with down the road. [/QUOTE]
