Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After vasectomy, 5% to 33% of men experience some form of pain, whether it is acute or chronic, mild or debilitating. I agree that there is a chance for pain when flow in any organ system is blocked, but these numbers seem awfully high.
This may be due to procedural pain, granuloma pain, epididymitis pain, congestive pain, neurogenic pain.
Blockage of any tube can cause pain that leads to pressure in epididimus which eventually leads to pain in abdomen. This is because both testes and abdomen have same dermatomal distribution.
But, pain in the hip is uncommon. You have to consult orthopedician for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
