Well, the good news is that I no longer seem to get the sudden twinges when I catch the lower end of my right testicle. Though maybe I'm just getting very good at avoiding knocking it in that way.
The not-so-good part is that, for about a week now, there's been an almost-constant, very low-level, dull ache in the right side of my groin. I can do a TSE with no discomfort - the testes aren't tender to the touch, and don't seem swollen. Both seem their usual size. In fact I'm fairly convinced the ache is actually located above the scrotum, in the right groin area - it's very similar, though much, much milder, to the aching tugging feeling I got when they were working on the right-hand vas, during the op. Someone on the a.s.v. newsgroup suggested it was fairly common to experience tugging during the right-hand vas procedure, since the right testicle usually hangs a bit higher than the left, so the right-hand vas is correspondingly shorter.
Anyway, the literature suggests that in a sizeable minority of cases, some dull aching can persist for a few months, and it's only been 2 months since my op. I hesitated to make this entry, since the discomfor level is really very low-key, but I did promise to record any and all changes as they occurred, so here it is...
