Vascectomy and cycling.

[bullet77]

Apologies if a thread already exists. I had the snip yesterday and my doc said no cycling for 10 days. Any hubbers have the snip and how long for recovery. 10 days is a long time off the bike, for me anyway.

Why you asking hubbers if your Dr told you what he wants?

Would you allow them to perform the procedure too?

And V12man is so tough he would have expected you to be out on the road now rather than being on the hub.

Tough but sage advice KC

So , what we really want to know is :

 

Does it hurt  ?

[Guest DieBees]

Wait it out!

Had it done 2 months ago & was also instructed to stay off bike for 10-12 days which I did as I didn't want any issues, did gym work for the duration. Play it safe

Take a few days off - at least till your wounds are closed And scab free.

 

I played golf the day after mine... probably not the best idea. ... hindsight being 30/20 in this case

10 days is not that long considering it's a once-off thing. After that you never have to worry about it again.

I had no pain whatsoever with mine. The cut that the doctor made was so small that it didn't even need a stitch. All done under local anaesthetic.

And V12man is so tough he would have expected you to be out on the road now rather than being on the hub.

in this case I am on record as saying he should take advantage. .. breakfast in bed. Etc etc... milk it... you only got one chance... once you are on the bike your opportunity is gone. .. even if you land up in pain after the ride... you are NOT going to be believed. ..

The other thing about a vasectomy (see the spelling?) that doctors generally lie about is how long before you are safe from making babies.  I think they base the month time frame on the infrequency of their own sex lives rather than an actual number of squirts....you can bring down the time until safe significantly by actively engaging with your partner rather than waiting out the month.

I was back on the IDT 7 days after, low intensity.

I heard is was 20 odd shots before you are out of ammo.

 

Kind of like saying your base training should be 500km - for some that is 2 months - others, 1 week.

 

Always ask why and then apply it to your situation!

[DirtyDan]

Don't be silly. Just chill out for 10 days. Why try complicate something you've done to simplify your life?

Besides, the off time isn't that long and you'll probably feel fresher and stronger when you hop up onto that saddle again.

I was in and out in 2 hours, went to the pub for lunch with the wife, and 2 days later I grabbed her!!! 

 

Did a sperm count 3 weeks later, and the buggers were gone!!!
