Suggest Effects Of Vasectomy Procedure

I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon to have a vasectomy performed. After reviewing numerous sites outlining the side effects of this procedure, specifically epididymal congestion, I want to postpone the operation and talk further with my urologist to learn more about the side effects. Am I being overly concerned?

Urologist 's  Response
Hi,
Some mild pain in the epididymis can be expected due to the congestion, but you can speak to your Urologist and see if he can avoid clipping the epididymis end of Vas which dies reduce discomfort in many patients.
After having done many vasectomies, and having an incidence of 1-2% of infection, with lasting pain less than 5%, I would recommend that this is a much simpler safer procedures than tubectomy for your wife.
