I had my vasectomy done on July 24th, I was extremely cautious about my recovery, first three days I slept in a reclining chair and only got up to pee, I was back to work essentially only walking duties on day 11.

around day 8 I had about 2”x2” deep dark bruising above testicle-reaching the shaft slightly.

Since day 14 I’ve had a large lump appear in the sack above the testicle, about the same size as the testicle,

This lump is connected to the upper (body) portion of the vas deferens as opposed to the testicle end of the vasectomy. I’m walking around on ibuprofen feeling like I was kicked in the balls one hour ago, constantly.

I have been told by the clinic this is a sperm granuloma over the phone, and that it could take a year to go away (this was very disheartening to hear)

but the bruising, size (1.5” round) and location (upper deferens) contradicts most information I can find about granulomas.

Does anyone have any info relating to large granulomas that are not connected to the testicle side of the vas? Treatment, timeline, whether or not it even makes sense?

I’m not saying the clinic can’t be right but if I was actually stuck like this for a year it would potentially ruin my life, I’m looking for anything that could point to a different problem with a actual solution.
