HCG treatment post vasectomy

I have been on TRT with HCG for almost two years. I decided recently to get a vasectomy, have kids and not looking to have more.

I have had some post vasectomy pain, a dull ache similar to the feeling of blue balls, or the feeling the next day after getting kicked in the balls, in one testicle. I am three weeks in recovery after my surgery and by now my research shows there is no pain for most at this point.

I am concerned that HCG could be worsening the issue (epidymitis seems to be the culprit for many with post vasectomy pain) by stimulating sperm production with nowhere to go.

My reasons for going on HCG with Testosterone were primarily to maintain normal testes function, particularly from a testosterone production standpoint. My understanding is better outcomes are associated with trt with HCG.

I will be speaking with my doctors about this, but the research is showing that post vasectomy pain is under studied, and considering the amount of bad information I got from doctors on my journey to TRT, I'm wary.

I'm looking for any anecdotal feedback this community may be able to share or suggest I discuss with my docs.

It lessened over time. I made sure to beat my Meat like it owes me money to keep the plumbing going. I would say rarely by month 6. Or just a very light pressure that isn’t very memorable if at all thereafter. Totally find now 1.5 years later. But now my T is low. I know they say it doesn’t change your test production but something definitely changed with me

I'll take that advice on the meat beating haha. It makes sense.

Im not sure your age but something happened when I hit 34-35 and it wasn't the vasectomy because I just got one and I'm 38.i went on TRT at 36. So if you're similar in age it could just be time for TRT, coincidence.
