Can I belatedly hi-jack the thread? Looking for a recommendation for a good urologist to do this. My closest hospital is Wilgeheuwel, so Drs Bell, van Graan or van der Walt. But I generally can't stand this hospital and typically use Sandton Mediclinic (Drs Vickers and Steyn). Anybody had any...

Do it, if that is what you & your partner want.
It is minor surgery, the worst thing is that some random guy shaves your balls (awkward, but don't shave before, any small cut you might make is not fresh - the surgeon is unlikely to cut you but it will be in a sterile environment so he can sterilize it)
Don't bother with anesthesia; a local is enough. It is not at all pleasant but it is not hard. It feels a bit like someone is pulling on a tight string in your balls (and.. that is what it is)
Pain afterwards: not too bad, I could have gone to work immediately. It is not nice but it is really manageable, don't ride a horse or bicycle or motorcycle for 2-3 days. I took off 2 days but I was able to walk out of hospital and the 2nd day I used mostly to get "sympathy" from my wife.
Edit to add: the fugly jockstrap they give you is not going to get the "sympathy" you want unless your SO has a really weird medical fetish.
