I have seen two doctors. One gives you a shot of valium int he vain,
one gives you a valium pill. I asked the doctor about the valium pill.
He said it was 10 mg and mainly "to keep you from puking on my shoes".
(He did say most people tolerate it well).

Does the surgery make you sick to the stomach? Is it painful. Are these
reports about deminished sensation during orgasm true?

Bothe doctors give two shots of xylocane. One with (ephinephrin.)Two
incisions are made.

One doctor said to plan on an hour. The other doctor says is is just
him and the patient and takes less than that.

Many people get queasy at the sight of blood or when they observe surgery.
It is psychological. It isn't the surgery that makes people sick, it is the
way the think about it that causes problems. A common example is people
fainting while donating blood or students fainting while observing surgery.
How many men have you heard of fainting while observing their wives give
birth? The valium will reduce anxiety and reduce the probability that you
will get so worked-up that you will pass out or vomit. Your doctor isn't
very diplomatic. It doesn't make any sense to speak in these term to a
patient who may be anxious.

I can assure you that the IV valium will be far more effective than a 10mg
pill. The IV drug will last between 20 - 30 minutes and give you
significant sedation and will reduce your memories of the procedure. The
general recommendations for stress reduction prior to outpatient surgery
involve getting a good night's rest and scheduling the procedure in the
morning. For dental surgeries, we often prescribe 10mg of valium a bedtime
the night before the surgery to assure the patient is well rested. For oral
pre-medication, 20mg of valium an hour before treatment is pretty effective.
By scheduling the treatment in the morning, you will be well rested and
won't have all day to build anxiety. If you are really concerned about the
treatment, I would go with the IV sedation. If the physician administers
the medication though an IV line that stays in place during the treatment,
he/she will be able to titrate the sedation by giving more medication if
necessary. A combination of a benzodiazapene and a narcotic is usually
given for sedation during dental surgeries. Valium and Demerol is a classic
combination. Versed and Fentanyl is the combination that I like for shorter
procedures. In any case, the local injection of lidocaine will be necessary
to block pain. There should be no pain during the surgery and the IV
medication has an amnestic effect that erases your short-term memory of the
procedure so you shouldn't recall much, if anything, afterwards.

No, no and no. The only reason for the valium is to take your mind off the
procedure and what's going on with the family jewels.

There are several methods used - the one you described is what I had, although I
don't recall the doc using any numbing agent. All you feel is a prick (pun
intended) and a couple of tugs.

The actual procedure takes all of 15 minutes. Drop the drawers, lay back on the
table and snip, snip. Ice it up when you get home to control any swelling and
don't use the equipment unprotected until you get the all clear in a few weeks.

Keep in mind that the procedure does not proect against STDs or HIV. The feeling
of freedom can induce risky behavior...

A root canal is much worse.
