Q: What percentage of patient suffer from post vasectomy syndrome? Many reports say that it varies from 10% to 33%, is it true? I would like to undergo this surgery so please help.
A:Vasectomy is a simple procedure. It can be performed as an outpatient procedure. Immediately following vasectomy there may be mild pain locally for a couple of days. Late complications like local granulomas causing pain are very rare with incidence of less than 1%.
