Vasectomy. Non-transferable.

Though it is rare, vas deferens can heal afterwards, the process is called spontaneous recanalization or just recanalization...

And people do reverse them sometimes

I got a vasectomy two weeks ago. It still hurts and I'm kind of panicking now, thinking what if it stays like this for the rest of my life. So I need to call the doctor back soon to check what's up, but I've been holding it off for fear that they'll need to open me up again.

So yeah, can confirm. I'm worrying at this very moment that I'll get a second one for free.

Call and check with your doctor if it feels wrong, but it was a full month before I didn't hurt just day to day, and another full month before sports were fully comfortable again.

Everyone is different, and I couldn't tell you if it's really normal or not, but it really does take a while for everything to go back to truly pain free.

Thanks for these comments. I'm going in to get cut in a month, and knowing these expectations will help me understand what's going on.

Yup, sounds like the worst.
