We Should Grow This Community

I just did a vasectomy, it went great, I was fully knocked out for the surgery, no pain at all.

I just wish there were more active communities about this, I read that in the US alone there are about 500,000 vasectomies a year!

And I wish there were more detailed stories about PVPD (Post Vasectomy Pain Disorder) since most of what I found were medical research and it does seem well researched with a current statistical estimate of 1-2% of cases, I would like to know how many were long lasting, how bad, were there signs and also just personal stories.

Anyway, smell ya later!

why does there need to be a community to discuss it? is this a common thing men want to talk about?

“hi ive had a vasectomy”

“cool, me too”

Maybe to discuss the benefits, pitfalls, experience?

And men looking to get one might want advice. That's the main things that come to mind.

I dunno, but it's not a terrible idea. Probably just a community that will go mostly unused.

One common issue is finding a doctor who will do them. Many doctors won't do the surgery if you're under an arbitrary age, don't have children, are unmarried, etc. So having a network to find/suggest those could be helpful

You can say that about anything...

Sharing information, having a community to ask questions, share information and help each other decide if it's for them and help them with the process.

Mostly to help anyone thinking about it. I was nervous af. Turns out it was no big deal.
