I was awake for the entire procedure, which is standard for a vasectomy. In my case, the local anesthetic did not seem to provide equal coverage on both sides. I experienced significant discomfort at one point during the procedure. I would encourage anyone considering this to have a detailed conversation with their surgeon beforehand about pain management expectations. 2.

I am not discouraging anyone from seeking care here, but I hope sharing my experience helps others know what questions to ask beforehand.
