Medic asking your wife for her permission is outrageous - definitely make a complaint about that.

mrsfry - MemberBecause testosterone is produced in them, mrsfry. It's need for good long term health as well as more obvious reasons.
Chaps who have the testicles removed still manage. Just makes sense and more praticle to get the whole lot chopped off. Get false ones or attachments you can put in a pocket of your under pants if chaps want to make themselves feel like they still have them.
Just a whole lot of fuss over nothing
Assume you're trolling, but I'll bite - thousands of Women live normal lives after an hysterectomy or having their ovaries removed, but it would be barbaric to do that just for contraception - but your point is moot because even if someone decided to have "the lot chopped off" because "it made sense and it's practical" no medic is going to remove healthy testicles because in actual fact it makes no sense and isn't practical. Perhaps you just like the idea of de emasculating Men?
Certainly never heard of a wife having to give permission - I was asked several times over at each stage that we had both agreed we didn't want any more kids ever, even if we lost the ones we had.
Funnily enough, when I was first due to be done we were having a few relationship issues (bike related, iirc!) and she didn't want me to get it done in case I wanted to have kids with someone else in the future, so I delayed it.
HAd mine done to relieve the Ex's medical problems.
Made sense.
GP was the younger brother of a guy I went to school with!
Says "you sure?"
"Yep"
"that's good enough"
2 weeks later - in and sorted.
Irony is that the following year she had to have a full hysterectomy because the polycystic ovary syndrome accelerated and got really nasty so she was off the contraception that caused all the problems then anyway!
Also people that had it done a while ago - any long term complications like reduced libido or more prone to infections / discomfort?
No libido issues (tries hard to keep it mature...) {fails}
No infections as such but the stitches on one side were not as neat as the other so a wee bitty itchy but it went away. Did have some noticeable discomfort from time to time for up to 3 months afterward on one side but it has all settled down now and I don't even think about it anymore.

Nah, all fine. Whipped the stitches out after a week or so cos they weren't dissolving and were a bit itchy. Back on the bike in a fortnight or so. It's a very routine, simple operation, complications are rare.
Worst thing is listening to women's opinions of how pathetic all men are/how we should all just be castrated once you dare to raise the subject... 😉
Booked in for Saturday morning.
They sold this as a positive so I didn't have to miss any work! Gutted.

Nothing to do with [b]'emasculating Men'[/b]. Chaps put too much of a deal their genitalia IMHO. Testicles do get removed for prevenative reasons and many other reasons, and chaps still live a full life. Women also have full/partial hysterectomy or have their ovaries removed/tied and they still carry on.
Or do you think that having testicles removed means you will no longer be a chap 🙄
testicles do get removed - but not for contraception. because its not necessary. Your point is invalid
Nothing to do with 'emasculating Men'.
Bollocks.
strangely, my doctor initially suggested that my wife should be done, as the doc gets lots of female divorcees asking for the morning after pill after a separation from partner, which I found quite an odd thing to say to me. I use a different doctor now.

It will almost certainly lead to no more erections. Most chaps tend to quite like erections.
It will likely lead to gynecomastia (breast growth). The small amount of oestrogen all men produce (yes, really) will see to that.
It will lead to significant muscle loss.
It will likely lead to osteoporosis.
Yeah - they’ll still be chaps, just not very happy ones.

or, as I like to call it, North Korea syndrome.
/me spits tea all over laptop...
I think MrsFry needs to examine her own issues with men and their bits...
I had the doc finishing off the first tube, and chatting away. There was a bit of pain as he found the second tube and then he says, "You're certain about this?"
I had to give the ok for the second chop before he would proceed. Mrs S was asked if she wanted to watch. She went pale, very, very pale and declined.
Results of the second test arrived yesterday: I'm now officially firing blanks.
*FIRE IN THE HOLE*
No. Wait, that's urinary infection.
As you were.

Crikey ... 😯
You are officially a eunuch now ? Ya? 😮
Watch out your voice might change to higher tone.
Much pain after the op?
I wanted to ride my bike straight after mine
I was properly sore for a week almost to the day then absolutely fine after that. Uncomfortable more than sore actually esp day 4 and 5. No infection, just someone been digging around my scrotum with a pair of scissors....
You sure your voice hasn't changed? 😮
You lot do have a worryingly lacking level of knowledge of your own bodies...

I think there should be more observations coz I am not so sure nothing changed. These lot can become rather funny after post-snip you know like "things" starting to shrink and speaking in funny voice or tone with funny gesturing. 😯
Tastes slightly different as a result.
(don't try and tell me you've never tasted it just to see if your other half's complaints are justified)
