Post Vasectomy Bladder Issues

I had a vasectomy about 12 days ago. Since about day 6 post vasectomy, I’ve been dealing with pressure in my upper groin near where the bladder is and I’ve been urinating a lot more. The pain also moves to the lower right part of the groin. Urine color is normal- no visible blood but a weaker urine stream than normal. Pain in the lower back as well. 41 year old male. I’ve never smoked and I don’t drink alcohol. I try drinking plenty of water. I had a kidney stone about a year ago. Is any of this related to the vasectomy? Could it be something like bladder cancer?

The groin pain is due to the vasectomy but not the bladder issues. It is not bladder cancer either. I would have you take 600mg of Motrin ice the groin and scrotum and slow down your activity over the weekend. Also, elevate your scrotum with a towel balled up underneath it. The pain may be the cause of the urinary issues.
