Are there any horror stories/side effects I should consider before getting a vasectomy? I'm a 22 year old who just graduated from uni, and I now have a job in engineering that I absolutely love.  I've never wanted children and I certainly don't want my life ruined now when it's coming together so nicely.  A vasectomy is something that appeals greatly to me, but I thought I would gather as much information on the risks as possible before fully commiting to it.
