I'm 7 weeks post vasectomy. I started having a burning sensation during urination and constant dull testicular pain. 10 days cipro. How common is this

The question about the burning on urination is common however a vasectomy causing voiding symptoms is not. The urethra, prostate and bladder are not affected by a vasectomy. The vas deferens are in the scrotum and as a rule are isolated to perform the procedure well away from the penis and the urethra. The vas deferens does travel up the inguinal canal and then connects to the seminal vesicle and prostate so sometimes blood is seen in the ejaculate which is short lasting and not of consequence. One last note: I use a Madaject no needle device and one time I had a patient complain of burning on urination and I felt that possibly the device somehow allowed the lidocaine to come in contact with the urethra and hence cause the pain.
