I have a question for guys that have had vasectomy and lift.
I was reading online that getting vasectomies and saw that you have to basically take 3-4 weeks off of squatting and other heavy lifting. I wanted to know your experience with returning to lifting.

Great question. Don’t listen to doctors, let’s ask random people on the internet!
Ask that to your doctor, not on The Internet.
I think my doctor said something like, “You can do whatever you want, if you’re man enough.”
I wasn’t lifting at the time, but I went for a run during my lunch hour after maybe 10 or 12 days. When I got back, my nuts were bright red. Like BRILLIANT red. I felt a little self conscious in the locker room, but everything seemed fine after a bit.
I waited two weeks and then eased back into it by 4 weeks I was back to normal.
Eight weeks
Listen to your doctor and then listen to your body. I had pain like starting still for like a month after my vasectomy. My recovery was longer than what most people have.
