Vas Deferens the size of testicle, 24 yrs after my vasectomy
by CharlyJ, Aug 19, 2006 12:00AM
When I was 28 I had a vasectomy, and I am 52 now. After I had the vasectomy, I can remember the left tube being the most tender and sore, it took longer to stop being sore. And for the past 23 years, the tube(Vas Deferens i believe its called). Had always been somewhat tender if squeezed and larger than the right tube, at least twice the size as the right side's tube. Somewhere around 1/8-1/4 " dia. or larger it felt like. And it always felt a little hard or stiff, not soft like the right tube.
My problem is this. Sometime ago, I noticed the left tube was almost as large as my left testy. It probably been 6-10 months now since I noticed it. And its still the same size, not smaller or larger. I was told if it was cancel, it would keep growing. Anyone ever heard of this happening to anyone else. If so, what is it or caused it.
Its not sore if i put pressure on it, so it must not be inflamed. I feel what may happened is some how the end of the tube got shut/closed and the back up of sperm died causing some kind of growth.
Also, I have always wondered what happens to the sperm after a vasectomy. Do they just flow into my scrotum and die or what?
