My husband is thinking about getting a vasectomy now that we're done having kids, but various studies have shown that anywhere from 1-18% of men can suffer from chronic pain and other issues as a result of the procedure.
Anyone have experience with negative side effects from a vasectomy?

Nope, though we have a friend who had a hard time with his. Frankly, I've got so many lasting changes after having two kids that I would expect my husband to suck it up. And he was happy to.

@sarac: yes! Between 9 months pregnant plus a year breastfeeding with each kid, he can deal with some body stuff.

Thanks, guys! DH is definitely willing to deal with pain and other side effects while his body is healing or adjusting, but I wouldn't want him to have anything chronic as a result.

I've hear that if the pain does happen (which is due to a specific issue), the solution is a reversal. Obviously that's counterintuitive, but it's not like it would be forever (without a way to fix it).
I'm pretty sure my husband will be skipping to the doc for a V as soon as our 2nd is born.
