Where did you get your degree in urology? When did you talk to a real doctor about vasectomies?<BR/><BR/>The term "granuloma" is generic, much like the english word "lump." Sperm granulomas associated with vasectomy have NOTHING to do with granulomas involved in lung or other diseases. They are harmless, almost always resolve on their own, rarely cause any discomfort whatsoever, and in the tiny proportion of cases where they do, they are easily removed. That's fact, that's my experience, and if you were to go to a reliable site like pubmed and search for "sperm granuloma" and "vasectomy" you would find that this is the case. I'll take a doctor's advice over some random crap spewed on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821427985313163676.post-26760276624581302342008-04-16T05:43:00.000-07:002008-04-16T05:43:00.000-07:00WTF are you, the Vasectomy Fairy?Granulomas are li...WTF are you, the Vasectomy Fairy?<BR/><BR/>Granulomas are little nodules. They're associated with a lot of diseases, most commonly TB: a lung disease, unless you're in the habit of whistlin' out your winkie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821427985313163676.post-73740818000043977842008-04-15T13:30:00.000-07:002008-04-15T13:30:00.000-07:00Yes, they probably will be able to schedule the pr...Yes, they probably will be able to schedule the procedure within the next couple weeks. It takes all of ten minutes, if that, and it's a trivial outpatient procedure that even many GPs perform (although I would certainly recommend a urologist).<BR/><BR/>Don't listen to the two idiots above. I had the snip over a year ago and it was fine, I was back in business in no time at all. I do recommend the "no-scalpel" procedure if your doc provides it; it is a piece of cake and heals invisibly within a couple weeks. No serious pain, just a slight ache that I took a total of two Tylenol for.<BR/><BR/>As for "granulomas" (ooh, scarrry), no it has nothing to do with the lungs. I briefly developed a tiny sperm granuloma on my tubes that went away on its own. That's not unusual, it's barely noticable unless you are feeling for it, and painless.<BR/><BR/>Your wife has the right idea and more men should be stepping up to this. Vasectomy is simple and foolproof if you can follow basic instructions. Just wank a lot before your first sample and it will be clear.

Somehow, they can always find resources for sterilization.<BR/><BR/>I had a granuloma (three, in fact) in my lung.
