Anyone ever get a vasectomy?

[flyingillini]

Well I had my biopsy today. It wasn't bad at all.

For the squeamish, don't continue reading.

They stuck a ultrasound probe up my ass so they could tell where to take the 12 samples from my prostate. I expected to feel a needle prick like the Novacaine at the dentist but I didn't feel anything.

So the doc points the sample collector at the location to take the sample and the medical assistant pulls the trigger on the gun. To be quite honest, all but one kind of tickled. One kind of stung but it wasn't too bad. All in all, it was almost a painless experience.

I was told to take it easy this weekend and be a couch potato. I told the doc I wouldn't do any yard work. The doc also said there may be blood in my urine for a few days and in my semen for a few weeks. I also have to take antibiotics for 3 days total.

Oh, the doc also said my prostate was enlarged which I knew from a CT scan a few months ago. He said typically a large prostate means the PSA numbers aren't cancer.

There's also a condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) which can cause an enlarged prostate. I'm hoping that's the case because of the first word in the phrase: benign.

I hope everything goes well for you. I actually have had 10-15 Prostate massages in my life. They feel incredible during the release.

I've had a couple myself, and you're right.

Well, I got the results back yesterday and everything is benign. My doc said about 2/3rds of all prostate biopsies are benign.

It's quite a trip facing one's mortality, wondering if this could be it. However, prostate cancer is highly survivable if caught in time.

Guys, go to your doctor if you haven't been recently. Get a PSA test. You can get that included in your regular blood tests.

Now I just have to reschedule the vasectomy.

I’m glad everything is kosher down there lol & good luck with the procedure. Definitely well worth it as I expressed earlier in this thread.
