to require any time off to recover but if doctors say you need time off (I doubt it), than of course I fully support it.

Vasectomy is a little bit more painful and I fully support same recovery time for it as women get after abortion.

Edited to add: Both vasectomies and surgical sperm removal should be covered by NHS, time off after the procedures should be fully covered by sick leave, for as long as doctor will sign one off.
