scro·tum (skrtm)
n. pl. scro·ta (-t) or scro·tums
What can I say… I was a member of the “Look it up club” as a kid.
I don’t recall that much swelling, although my idiot father made me take a Polaroid picture of his quite swollen scrota when I was a teenager, but that was a long time ago. I think major swelling is pretty rare these days.
I don’t think any one man has more than one scrotum, so if your father had scrota,, well, he’s more of a man than I am.
Re: swelling… I’ve always been told that the twins themselves usually grow to impressive size following the surgery. If they don’t, that’s good to hear.
There have been several threads related to this, but I’ll throw out my story once again.
My vasectomy was performed by the good Dr. The Marquis de Sade. He specifically used the extra dull tin snips and the rusty scalpel.
I’ve never hurt like that before (yes, he used lidocaine - too much, in fact).
Long story short - I had a systemic reaction to the lidocaine and nerves and have never been so sick in my life.
I could have done an equally effective job with two bricks.
I know this is a bump… but this made me laugh so hard I just had to let plnnr know.
And, to reiterate my story told earlier in the thread… I had no problems, little pain, and only moderate swelling in my one scrotum and two testicles (~grin~).
