Vasectomy and sensitive balls

So.
I've procreated enough now (5 healthy boys) and my partner and I decided that the snip was the best way forward.
Obviously a bit worried about it, this was made worse by the urologist noting that my scrotum is particularly sensitive, was told to cut all caffeine out (was a coffeeholic to be honest) but am having 2nd thoughts about going through with it.
The other half has said were they more sensitive because you (I) got lucky that morning less than a couple of hours before I got examined.
Help chaps, anyone faced this scenario?

Glad you've got a nice ,big family.  Have you ever heard of post vasectomy pain syndrome?  It's a thing that CAN happen.  It's actually pretty common. Heat and cold therapy can help and I'd try an NSaid to see if inflammation could be less which may be part of the issue of your sensitivity and pain.  Here's an article that looks at other treatment options. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5503923/  Sometimes a physical therapist that is trained in pelvic floor strengthening can help especially early in the situation.
