Post vasectomy; vas deferns attached to incision site

hello,
     I recently had a vasectomy and the top half of my left vas defens ( the one that enters the body) appears to attached to my healed incision site. its not really noticeable unless you pull the incision site up since the cord is basically running straight back behind the incision. I feel it pulling constantly.
     I tried to show my doctor but he was extremely rude and barely felt at it and said its fine. and when i tried to pull up the skin to show him where it is blatantly obvious he yelled at me and said you're just pulling skin, you're fine!
     I am working on seeing another doctor but it will be two months until i get in. I am assuming if he gives me the same answer i will try another, than another if needed.
     Did anyone who experienced the same issue have any problems with your prostate during this time? i feel like the cord is pulling my insides extremely tight and i am having issues with urination, ejaculation etc.
    The fact that I have read a few people went through what I'm experiencing and eventually got it released is reassuring, as i have had to give up many of my active hobbies because it irritates it and causes prostate inflammation.
    Any advice, words of encouragement, possibly doctor referrals who have dealt with this problem and realize it can happen would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you so much

I have the same thing happen. The vesectomy was done just yesterday, so I went in to have the doctor look at it today.  The doctor told me that yes the Vas deferens felt is attached and to said as they won't cut it open again until it heals up first.

Maybe it will unattach, but maybe not.  If it doesn't they just have to do Surgery and cut the vas deferans from the scrotum.  Then let it heal again to see how it heals.  If it attachs again, they will do Surgery again.

It is frustrating, but I guess this is apart of the complications that can occur.

Just stay on it and keep asking/ go see a different doctor if your doctor is not listening.  It can and does happen even if not very often.  It is a real thing and can be fixed.  Don't let the doctors pride or whatever reason they won't listen to you leave you living with a life long pain.

I am pretty sure mine happened because he was in a hurry to close me up because he was behind for his schedule.  The vesectomy lasted 1.5 hours but was only scheduled for 45 minutes.   So hurried and made a human mistake.  Now it is my problem to deal with it long term.

My advice though is to just stay with it and keep asking and having it looked at to get it corrected.  I know it is annoying and spending extra money for doctor visits is not ideal, but this is unfortunately how it does sometimes.  Be your own advocate because if you don't care enough to no one else will.
