Ah! Two weeks; I thought you said three. Nevertheless, the stitches should have done their job
by now, with little risk of pulling out unless there is infection, in which case it will pull apart anyway,
stitches or no.> didn't your balls swell up and need a release?
Technically, your balls don't care either way. Otherwise they would swell up and explode when a
vasectomy ties the duct shut. Studies have shown nothing so dramatic.This is part of the common delusion that during orgasm, sperm or semen are/ is pumped up from the
testicles. In fact, they make the sperm but not the semen, and while sperm are pumped up some twice as
fast during or before orgasm as any other time, the rate is still something in the order of a few
millimetres per hour.Some feeling of a need to ejaculate comes from build-up of semen in the reservoirs behind the
bladder and prostate, but if they are not emptied, the excess simply leaks out, generally during a bowel
action and/ or straining.> there is another drug which is a female hormone that reduces desire, but I am scared to take it and he

offenders is actually quite effective for suppression of erections as I understand it but has negligible
side effects and its action is promptly reversed when it is ceased. I'm frankly somewhat suspicious
about your doctor's expertise in this field from what you say. (;-)
