What Are The Effects Of Vasectomy?
Effects of Vasectomy
I am 41 yrs old and I had a vasectomy about 4yrs ago and I have felt different sexually from day 1. Mentally the drive is still there, but physically I'm not the same. My self esteem because of this has taken a large drop. My wife is younger and we've always been sexually active. Everything still works, its just not as stronger and I have hardly any control. It's starting to effect my mental state, feel almost depressed a lot. My family physician found that my Testosterone levels were low, soon after the Vasectomy. I guess my question is am I experiencing onset of ED or maybe depression, or do I just need to get in shape and work on getting my body mentally & physically back into shape?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some psychological upset due to having false fear of loosing man power and having bad effect on your partner.
After vasectomy there is no lack of testosterone hormonal level as your testes from where this hormone synthesizes are intact.
Vasectomy never produces any this type of effect on your sexual life.
The feeling you feel is purely psychological and develop strong will power and enjoy your sex life.
Ok and take care.
