Are men put to sleep for a Vasectomy?

Or is it just a local.  DH is already having anxiety about it.

  • hahaha...no...just a shot to numb the nuts....get it, numbnuts?

    but I'm sure he could request some xanax or anxiety meds to take that morning so he isn't freaking out.

  • Nope, it's just local.

  • All the men that I know that have had one weren't put to sleep.  It was done the the Drs office with local.  Just tell him the "suck it up buttercup"

  • DH was given the option of 3 choices: sleep (light), doped up, or local only.
  • LOL - love the responses! Thanks! And I totally agree kevs - if we have to give birth while awake, he can have this done with a local.

    Funny side story - for the LONGEST time, he thought it meant getting his balls cut off (like a dog), not just the pipeline snipped. LOL!!!! No wonder he's nervous about it.

  • Tell him that if the wife was given an epidural during the birth of their child, that is what's used for the husband just to even things out.

    Funny!

  • My H had local (of course) and IV relaxers. If they get all anxious, the scrotum bunches up and then the docs have trouble getting at it, lol.
