I'm in the same position as your husband. Still looking.

When I was 22, young, healthy, keen and sexually active, I had a vasectomy done. A year following my procedure I experienced hot flashes, loss of memory, hair loss and sexua| dysfunction leading to a loss of libido completely. I never did drugs, worked out 6 days a week, always had an urge to learn and was always optimistic in my approach.

Given my lack of experience and education in dealing with these types of reactions, I set out to get a reversal done in hopes of having the symptoms reversed and getting my body back to equilibrium. It has now been a year and a half since my reversal and I have yet to see any signs of getting my health back. I’ve been to many doctors and had a lot of blood work done but have yet to find a correlation.


My speculation is something neuropathically is lacking. There are so many others out there with these same symptoms caused from having a vasectomy but general rule of thumb is say it’s all in the patients head. If you haven’t already, you should visit http://dontfixit.org/
, it may give you some insight to what we already know.


If I can be of any other assistance feel free to send me a reply.

i am now 67 and had my vasectomy 13 years ago. i did not experience any loss of interest in sex; however, it my belief that there is a psychological component, after the procedure has been accomplished. while someone may think about the impact of a vasectomy, it is only after it's done that reality sets in," i am out of the gene pool, i'll never make another child.' i believe that there is a very primitive, non-rational mind set that is active here. Can that bring on depression? Does Depression surpress libido? yep. but its not the actual vasectomy that is the cause of the loss; because sex continued to be great, certainly 'worry-free,' until my wife began menopause and herself began to lose interest in sex, but not in our 'Love..' The only problem left is mine; that is, i'm still interested in sex but my partner isn't, and no amount of "cuddling" has been able to replace 'the real thing.'

It sure didn't for me! Not one bit.
