Think you couldn’t possibly endure the pain of a vasectomy? No-scalpel vasectomies are remarkably quick and only cause mild discomfort. If you think a vasectomy could be right for you but believe the procedure could be agonizing, here are five relatively minor things that are, in fact, far more painful than a no-scalpel vasectomy.

Stubbing your toe. While no one is deliberately going to stub their toe, it’s nonetheless really painful – particularly if a bone is broken. A no-scalpel vasectomy is nowhere near as painful.

Charley horse. Muscle spasms in the legs can be excruciating, and the pain can last up to several minutes. No-scalpel vasectomies don’t even come close to meeting that pain threshold.

A bad hangover. Not only painful, but can reduce your energy for an entire day. The sting of a no-scalpel vasectomy only lasts as long as the procedure, which can be less than 20 minutes.

A football to the nose. If you’ve ever been hit in the nose – by a football or, heaven forbid, a fist – you know that’s a pain that can come close to blinding you.

A manual pore extraction. Okay – most men probably haven’t had the pores on their faces extracted at a spa, but if you have had an esthetician extract the pores on your nose, you know it’s like having your nose broken for five straight minutes. A no-scalpel vasectomy is nothing in comparison.

If you aren’t convinced, here are a few bonus procedures that are also worse than a no-scalpel vasectomy:

Wisdom teeth extraction
Back/chest waxing
Slamming a finger in a door
Bee/wasp sting
Watching the video of Joe Theismann’s career-ending injury

A no-scalpel vasectomy doesn’t require sutures or significant recovery time, and can be completed in as few as 20 minutes. If the only concern you have about having a vasectomy is about the potential for pain, then rest assured – you’ve already experienced worse, and probably didn’t consider it all that bad!
