vasectomy

Hi everyone, can anyone recommend a clinic in the northwest / north of Ireland. I'm Donegal based but willing to travel. I've tried Ballykelly and was quoted 1800 - 2300 which I thought was expensive seeing as vasectomy are quoted e600 elsewhere. Thanks

Hi lads,

Just sharing my experience for those on the fence about the procedure. I'll update as my recovery continues.

I was massively concerned before going into the procedure and wasn't sure who to go with. Based on the high reviews of Dr John McCormick I decided to choose his clinic in Dublin.

Dr John rang me the day before, explained the risks involved and made sure I was happy to proceed. He was keen to stress that the procedure is virtually painless and I was very surprised how straight forward and painless it was.

Only slightly painful part was the anaesthetic and then I need an extra injection or two which the pain was minimal. Dr John completely put me at ease and the conversation was flowing and helped to make the procedure fly through quickly. There wasn't time to worry about what was happening and it was wonderful to be able to talk sport while going through a worrying and daunting procedure. I was hugely surprised how quick and painless the procedure was.

My advice would be to be careful when trying to buy a jock strap. The one I bought was a cup and there is a difference. Got the jock strap which Dr John recommended from elverys and it's been comfortable so far. It's called LP Athletic Supporter Cup. Dr John said tight boxers do the job too but heard a lot of positive feedback from the jock strap wearers.

I'll add in anything challenging about recovery as it happens but thank you to the advice from past posters which helped ease my concerns.

Hi jj880,

Thanks for responding. I have gone back to query that as I did read somewhere (on here or the website) that it was €600.

3 weeks on from the operation and all feels back to normal thankfully. Went back running after 11 days slowly and have started to build it up. First couple of runs were the acid test but all went well thankfully. Went back playing football yesterday which is great. Felt a twinge when kicking by myself after 2 weeks so left it another week and now all fine. Delighted to be out the other end all going well and hoping to get the all clear in a few months. Fear of the procedure was 100 times worse than the procedure of the recovery. That would be my advice to anyone considering it. I put it off and was worried for months but in truth there was no reason to be. Recommended Dr John McCormick previously and still do. Best of luck to anyone considering the procedure in the future and hope you put your fears to the side like I did in the end.
