The incidence of chronic post-vasectomy pain is estimated to be less than 10% depending on the severity of pain that qualifies for the particular study. There is strong evidence of post vasectomy pain (PVP).

A recent study by John Guillebaud on 5000 patients studying the effects of PVP confirmed the evidence quoted above. However, it also showed that the background risk of testicular pain in the general (non vasectomised) population is 10%. All 5000 patients when asked in questionnaires following the procedure said they would have a vasectomy again as benefits outweighed the risks.
