My DH is going to have a vasectomy(sp) this next tuesday. I wanted to ask you ladies if there are any extra precautions we should take? I know we can't be intimate for a few weeks but when we can be I just want to be careful. I'm a little worried about this.

TIA,

Shelby

P.S. I hope nobody was offended by my question!! :(

They told my husband to take pain meds about an hour before and to wear a jock strap and rest a bunch over the weekend. He was back to normal in about 3 hours after a nap. As for sex everything went back to normal not long after. The only thing he complains about is that he feels a pinch where he thinks the clips are. We had to do it 2 times due to the fact that they did not clip one side. I am sure you will due fine!!!! Good Luck!!!!

My Dh has his done when my DD was about 5 months. (she is almost 2). He went to work the next day they told him not to work but he was fine. He did say it was sore the next day and used an ice pack on it for the drive home but other than that he was fine. And things returned to normal farily soon. My mom tried to scare us and keept telling him to take the day off cause he was going to hurt really bad but if your DH is not a big baby (which some guys are when it deals with that area) he should be fine.
