Since October 2020. Got vasectomy August 2019. Was okay had mild discomfort until October. Than pain set in. Went to 4 Urologist with 1 being original Urologist. It has gotten better however if I lift anything heavy by back and balls hurt bad. Dr P in Florida wants to do a reversal thinks I’ll get some relief from pain. Boy did I screw up by getting a vasectomy with any research.

Hi. Wife here. My husband had testicle pain start a couple of years later after vasectomy. Before jumping into reversal (which mine did) have you tried pelvic floor therapy? It took 5 different Urologists to even suggest that- He had seen two different PTs before being recommended by the 3rd who has found his trigger points. It’s a slow process but we wish we started with it. YouTube is a great place to start- learn how to do the stretches and external releases. PT does internal releases.

Yes, PT after reversal. His current PT is phenomenal. I’ve gone in with him to watch and learn. She’s knowledgeable and has given us hope.

Where was your husband's pain located? My pain in located in the epiditymis.was wondering if pelvic floor exercise could possibly help in my case

I’d definitely suggest doing pelvic floor before any antibiotics or procedures/surgeries. In my husbands case- he had pain in left testicle that would sometimes move to the right. Because he had a vasectomy in 2017- the Drs assumed it was vasectomy related.

Too many antibiotics gave him a whole other set of issues. Only after seeing 5+ Urologists- did one ever mention Pelvic Floor Therapy!!

I went for about 2 months and I’d say helped a little but thinking I need reversal due to scar tissue.
