I had a vascectomy about 10 weeks ago. I noticed yesterday that I have a small hard spot, like a little ball or lump floating around now. Could this be scab tissue? Will it go away on it's own, or should I call the doctor?
Is there a urologist in the house?

I'm not a urologist but I have had a vasectomy. I noticed a similar small lump - basically it's where the tube (the vas defrens) has been cut and the ends tied or sealed. It will get smaller after a while and you'll hardly notice it.
If it gets larger or becomes tender to the touch then get back to the Doc - otherwise no need to panic!

I'm not a urologist but i have had an abundance of medical training and there is nothing to worry about. It is scar tissue it happened to me after my vascectomy as well. It should go away in time. No worries enjoy your new found sterility.

Its probably the Vas-Deferance which is the tube that was cut. The ends get scar tissue on them and they harden. So its no issue but ask your doc at your next appointment for re-assurance.

Its probably best to get it checked out by a Doctor. It probably is just scar tissue but err on the side of caution.

The lump is nothing to be concerned about at the moment. If it becomes painful or if it begins to leak fluid get to a doctor fast.

You should consult your family doctor first for the problem as it had been 10 weeks. May be something wrong.

I had mine done years ago. Nothing to worry about give it time and the severed ends will settle. Yes it initially feels weird.

Could be scar tissue, especially if it doesn't hurt.
If you are worried, see a doc. If not, wait another couple of months.

They put in a clip to seal off the vas deferens. That is probably what you are feeling.
