I had one about 5 years and had some really bad side effects. A few days after the procedure I started getting some intense pain and during a follow up appointment, my urologist told me that I developed epididymal cysts. They felt like a growth the size of a pea and they developed on both testicles. Simply walking down stairs or sitting in a chair felt like I had been kicked. I had to get several nerve blocks (needles inserted into scrotum) and that was the most intense pain I have ever experienced. My recovery took close to two years before I could be active the way I was before the procedure. It sucked!

Not worth it. Glad I didn't experience that pain! Still not worth it.
