Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome
Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome (PVPS), genital pain of varying intensity that may last for a lifetime following vasectomy, is estimated to appear in between 5% and 35% of vasectomized men, depending on the severity of pain that qualifies for the particular study[1][2][3][4] The pain can be orchialgia, pain with intercourse, ejaculation, or physical exertion, or tender epididymides.[5] In one study, vasectomy reversal was found to be effective for 9 out of 13 patients in reducing the symptoms of chronic post-vasectomy pain. Treatment options for the 4 patients whose pain did not respond to vasectomy reversal were limited. The limited size of the study makes it difficult to draw solid conclusions.[6] In severe cases castration has been resorted to.[7]
