摘要

The 2012 American Urological Association (AUA) vasectomy guidelines advise that of those men who undergo vasectomy,1％-2％ will develop chronic scrotal pain that negatively impacts their quality of life.1 These low numbers are contrasted with a study by McMahon et al.2 that characterized the incidence of chronic testicular pain postvasectomy as being about 33％.Of these cases,15％ were described as troublesome while 5％ sought medical attention and 1.7％ underwent attempts at further corrective surgical therapy.Given the large number of vasectomies performed in North America every year,the number of patients potentially affected by postvasectomy pain could be staggering.
