Not bad at all.
For the first week doc said no erections- turns out not getting hard was the hardest part. After that, it was like a month or so of no unprotected sex. It's been a few years so I might not remember correctly, but I think he recommended like 15 to 20 ejaculations in that time frame. And I'm going to humble brag here- I've been blessed with a wife whose libido is way higher than mine. But that month, knowing that each orgasm was one step closer to her not having kids again- she made it her mission in life to knock those orgasms out as fast as I could get it up.
I didn't really have any swelling that I can remember- I iced my scrotum for a few hours but it didn't hurt too bad so I stopped after that. Some acetaminophen helped with the residual pain, and I think I had to take it easy for a couple of weeks- don't lift anything heavy to strain your groin muscles.
All in all, I don't regret it and highly recommend anyone who is done having children to get one.
How the hell is one supposed to avoid getting any erections? Morning wood isn't exactly something people have any degree of control over...
