PVPS is disappointingly common and difficult to treat. Although early pain lasting for a few weeks is fairly common after vasectomy (present in up to 30% of men), long-term pain requiring some kind of intervention or surgical therapy occurs in up to one in 1000 vasectomized men [4]. McMahon et al. [5] noted that although half of the patients who reported complications after surgery had long-term discomfort, there was no obvious relationship of pain with immediate haematoma or infection.
