2 weeks on and I have not had any response with regards to the sperm tests. I will need to phone the doctor anyway as I have developed a bit of pain in my right testicle.
I am assuming that it is all related to the vasectomy but my right testile has swollen a little, is very tender and sitting higher and more forward than he used to, probably due to the swelling behind it. I am not over worried at the moment but if the tenderness continues then I envisage a trip back to the surgeon to let him have a quick feel. Ibuprofen on standby… Again!
Looking on the internet there are quite a few references to ‘sperm granulomas‘, basically sperm backing up inside the balls. I am guessing its like those Tom and Jerry cartoons with a finger inside a ballooning hosepipe. Apparently this can happen in a large number of men, with the percentage being up to 40%, so this is a real possibility.
I will be calling them by the end of the week to chase results, and hopefully may get a bit of insight into the probably pain in the balls.
