What Causes Low Libido With History Of Vasectomy?
Question: hi. my name is XXXXXXX I am 36 yrs old. i have four kids, and had a vasectomy 5 years ago. lately i have noticed my sexual performance decreasing in my abilities to stay hard. i am in good shape, exercise regurally, and eat a healthly diet. i'm not sure what else to do. it is affecting mine and my wifes sexual experience. i recently tried a Viagra that someone i knew had and it was the best thing that happened for us in a long time. it made things like they used to be when we were first married. how do i go about getting a prescription so this is one less thing our marriage has to worry about?
Brief Answer:
it is not the vasectomy that is the problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello
thanks for using health care magic
I have read your query with much delight and am going to make some contribution.
Firstly, vasectomy has no effect on sexual performance. During vasectomy, the tube is section before seminal vessicles and thus seminal fluid is still release during intercourse but for that it does not contain sperm cells.
Secondly, nerves and blood vessels are not destroyed and so the testes remains in active production of testosterone and sperm cells.
With that set, i think your problem is more of the psychological set of your mind. Sexual performance/erection depends so much on the psychology. If you are not psychologically prepared, you are stressed up, you are tired, your partner isn't in the mood etc then you can't have good mind set and thus poor sexual satisfaction or performance.
At 36 years, its pretty far fetch from thinking let alone using viagra. I do not agree with its use. You and your wife need to do a little change as regards your sexual life. Increase romance in your relationship; like start aiming for sex long before and not just when you two are on the bed; seeing her differently, sending love sms while you or her is away, giving a kiss while she is working, dressing as well and being presentable will make you want to ask her out again etc. are all little tricks that will boost up your sexual life.
Hope this helps. If you have further query, i will be glad to respond.
Best regards
