Any males out there that had a nut removed?

[Splitshift]

The Dr. and my wife says I have too many man berries. You can PM if you don't want to discus your medical condition. I am serious I need to know when can I drive again? The Dr. said avoid driving my car for a couple of weeks. :eek: He has no advice about driving a truck.

[Rev.Vassago]

Are you referring to a vasectomy? If so, I had it done about 10 years ago. They are correct about driving. In fact, you'll find walking, and even sitting difficult.

I believe I was down for the count about a week before I was back in the truck.

[golfhobo]

I don't think he's talking about snipping, Rev. I think his "splitshifter" has one two many options.

I believe there was a thread about this once before, but I'm too lazy to search for it.

Never had it done myself.... but, if the Dr. cautioned against drving a CAR, I can assure you a truck would be more uncomfortable. However, with a strategically placed pillow, or one of those hemhorroid cushions, it might not be too bad.

Out of curiosity though, is there a medical reason why the surplus is a problem?

Testicular cancer is cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system.

In the United States, between 7,500 and 8,000 diagnoses of testicular cancer are made each year.[1][2] Over his lifetime, a man's risk of testicular cancer is roughly 1 in 250 (four tenths of one percent, or 0.4%). It is most common among males aged 15-35 years, particularly those in their mid-twenties. Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers: in excess of 90%; essentially 100% if it has not metastasized. Even for the relatively few cases in which malignant cancer has spread widely, chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 85% today. Not all lumps on the testicles are tumors, and not all tumors are malignant; there are many other conditions such as Epididymal cysts, Hydatid of Morgagni, and so on which may be painful but are non-cancerous. All unusual lumps or pain in the testicles should be checked by a physician.

Sorry to hear about this, Splitshift. The thread I referred to was about someone who had one too many "buddies," not a tumor. Whole different story... thanks for clarifying. (However, the recovery time might be similar. See if you can find that thread for more info.)

The GOOD news seems to be what you posted about the cure rate. I know you are only looking for info on downtime, but all I can say is.... whatever it takes! The alternative is worse than any economical setback. Do you have short-term disability insurance?

Anyway, I wish you the best. Just as they say no load is worth going into a ditch for.... same goes for your LIFE! If necessary, perhaps you could do some other work for a few weeks. Keep us posted.

Splitshifter, my father-in-law had the same problem many years ago...he had one testicle removed as well, he was restricted for about a week from a car, and from what I have heard from my male counterparts that I know from work, I would give it at least three weeks before you attempt a truck, as hobo suggested a soft pillow will likely provide some relief, but I was told you should go back gradually, keep your trips short for the first month, get out lots, walk around alot to keep the blood circulating properly, wear loose fitting clothing, etc.

They don't know if it is cancerous yet they have to do a Biopsy. The Dr. says it is common But the key is to catch it early.

That, too, is good news for now. But, you can't put something like this off! I don't know how old you are, or what family plans you have, but.... IF I wanted to have more/some children, I would seriously consider "banking" some of the swimmers before having either surgery OR treatment. Even a biopsy could go wrong in that department.

BOL!

Should I write cut here (..) with a big arrow and and do not cut above this line? I know this is serious but why cry about spilt milk laughter best medicine.

Probably a small arrow will do! In fact, if you NEED an arrow, you're already in trouble!

Good attitude.... but, the milk isn't spilt yet. Just saying that regardless of the results, the procedure could inhibit your future plans. Visiting the "bank" was just a suggestion. Could even be interesting.

In fact, now that I think of it..... I think I'll make an appointment! I have no male children, and it would be a shame not to carry on my family name! Someday, when I'm old and rich like Hef, I MIGHT be able to seduce a young wench into having my male child.... as long as she doesn't have to have sex with me!

Okay.... so I'll have to PAY her..... big deal!

I was going to offer the same advice. A friend of mine had testicular cancer 20 years ago. One of his nuts was cut out, plus I think he had chemo/radiation treatments or something. Anyway, it left him sterile. Ask your doctor.

[Splitshift]

One of his nuts was cut out, plus I think he had chemo/radiation treatments.

The Dr. got the ok for nut removal but the chemo/radiation treatments I have not gone that far yet. The Dr. said I caught it early and not to worry too much. Trying to think positive. Don't take it as a personal attack. We cool?

Well, not meaning to speak for anyone else, but we are ALL on your side, man! I didn't see anything to get upset about.

Who did the doctor have to get this approval from? Is it possible that you can avoid chemo/radiation? That would be good. I take it they couldn't just remove the tumor.... they had to remove the whole "buddy?" That's okay, too. Once you go to the dark side..... [talking about the tumor and it's ability to regenerate. Get it ALL out....now.]

But, if chemo is recommended, don't take a chance. Get it done! I guess what I am saying is, don't try to take any shortcuts!

[Slimland]

Splitshift, I also had my left friend removed Back in Jan.. Though I am not sure when you will get back into the swing of things, but I think it all depends on which one they take..

The inguinial nerve goes to the left, and usualy most have no prob, but sometimes the nerve grows back even though there is nothing to grow too..

I lost mine due to mesh problems, and the inguinial artery, and nerv's where intrapped.. Still in lots of pain, but just a removal like your talking about.. I wouldn't think it would be too long before your back into the game..

Just make sure the doc "surgeon" is a specialist.

Can you do it cheap? I will be out of work for a little bit and every bit helps.

I have to cross the removal bridge first. Then they see if it is cancerous. The approval is most important my wife and the INS. CO. Me they are not vital they just hang there.
