HNT 10 - "X" marks the spot----> I TOLD u I won't get u pregnant! Now lay back & relax! LOL





THIS, young ladies, is what a vas-ectomy scar looks like on THIS side of a scrotum. It has an adorable twin on the other side. It is left when the surgeon cuts one's scrotum open to find the vas deferens (spermatic cord), mash one piece of it in a hemostat and cut it out, cauterize the cut vas, and suture the scrotum shut. Sterilization is simpler & safer by far in a man than in the major surgery of a woman's hysterectomy. (I presume you know it does NOT interfere with the functioning of organs or testosterone because the man's testes are not removed as with your OTHER pets.)
Of course, my physician team worked only on one side at a time. The surgical understudy, Dr (Capt) Joann Angstad, must have made me her first guinea pig for this procedure. At least, she had an old head full Colonel urologist guiding her around MY crotch! I don't think he got her to put the anesthetic injection in the correct place in either vas though 'cause when she mangled the vas in her hemostat, it felt like the proverbial jackass had just kicked me BIGTIME in the gonads!

"JE-SUS CHRIST!" I exclaimed! That was the left side! "GOD!!!!!!!!" was my right-side response! Her clinical notes that I saw when I retired from the AF a few years later said, "Pt tolerated procedure well." Right, Doc... like u knew WTF it was all about as u gained experience for your rich, general practice in civilian life!
PS: I need help learning how to post the 2 fotos above as click-throughs for each other. If you can straighten me out (so to speak), please send me an eMail with explanation, steps, or a relevant reference. Thanks & HHNT!

Welcome back anytime, Snow! (AND others.) Not sure when my next Doctor's Clinic will be offered. LOL. I surprised even myself with this ballsy post, but enquiring minds LONG for enlightenment, don't they? This is definitely one for a Happier New Year!!! HHNT, too! OXO

Now that is interesting!
You got neutered. LOL

That should be the start of an interesting new year ;)

Oh, Tricia -- you just THINK I got neutered. They only snipped 2 pieces of cord 1/8" long, and left balls & all to still make male testosterone for our mutual benefit! I still shoot -- I just shoot BLANKS! ;-)

Zoely, you're largely right except no one tells us they might miss with the anesthesia (Guys don't confer about this like girls would.) I think guys fear the idea of anything sharp cutting so close to their penises. But I needed this since my then-wife kept getting pregnant through her extreme deception to me about birth control. In all candor, I haven't taken advantage of the obvious benefits it offers a bachelor. Dammit!

Most men tolerate the "procedure" quite well, though there are horror stories out there. It's still better than having your abdomen cut open, the doctor fishes around till he finds a fallopian tube, slices it, cauterizes the ends, repeats on the other side, and sews you up. Still not as bad a hysterectomy, but you can't have it done in the office with a local like a vasectomy!

Good for you for taking a hit for the team and sharing with us!

Oh dear GOD!!! I am so sorry. When male friends talk about getting this done, I just cringe as if a baseball smacked the boys square on. Ain't now way I'm letting anything that sharp down there!

You, sir, are a stronger man than I.

HAPPY HNT....I guess....

Hmmm... having labia piercings, I know what you mean by "Jesus-Christ" for the first one... and just praying for the the other side to not hurt that bad!
I sincerely empathize!!
