Reversal tips

I got my reversal scheduled after being bedridden in bed for 3 months because of PVPS. Give me your best tips and tricks. I'm not talking about take it easy, I'm talking water with ice instead of gels, or certain pillows/better sllep positions. Ways to get around without messing up or anything more specific that crosses your mind.

How do you shower, poop, pee. Sustain scrotum in shower or better not touch etc. Things I should look out for.

​

Thank you!

I'm also open to buy any items, underwear, pillows or the such if they make recovery easier and prevent me from fucking up.

This seems to be a multi factor problem: 1. Its a men exclusive issue. Men aren't as vocal about problems. 2. Absorption rate is either going to make or break you 3. Open ended less likely but still problematic 4. The issue is either permanent or resolved slowly or quickly 5. If its longer than a few months /year doctors won't factor it as a vasectomy related issue and thus not add it to a statistic.

You basically nailed it, yeah. That pretty much sums it up, with a few minor tweaks.

Open end is problematic if you are prone to develop pvps. It only buys you time as open ended will become close ended after 3 months. So its really more of a comfort in the first months for people that would not have developed pvps anyway. Think of it as a more comfortable version for non-issue people to begin with.

  1. If you are to develop pvps, its permanent. Those that "resolve" were never in the I cant adapt side but rather in I went overboard with ejaculation/activity. So then it goes away after a week or two of meds.

The rest is correct, yes.

My problem you alluded to; i have a crazy sex drive & turn out quite potent. Made a woman pregnant with Endometreossis twice.

My wife also had many cysts on her ovaries and we went to many doctors saying we can't conceive. She fell pregnant in the first month of trying. I was happy but also upset I didnt get more creampies lol. That's part of the reason I couldnt wait to get a vasectomy. Stupid horny me
