This is coming way after all is said and done, but I’ll post some of my health history for folks considering a
V (vasectomy.)
Got one in 2000. Immediately had issues, in particular, small loads, didn’t feel right, etc. Doctor pooh-poohed me. Got divorced in 2005. Found a wonderful lady in 2011 and decided tp get it reversed in 2012
The VR (reversal) is fine and works great (7 kids prove that). Here is where the interesting bit starts. My T levels at VR were atrocious, like 200’s and I was too young for that. My doctor, who is an excellent endocrinologist stated that most of his patients in their 30’s with really low T had a vasectomy at least 10 years prior. He had no studies, but estimated that maybe 25% of men eventually have this issue. V’s are common and this would explain the mysterious overall drop in T in the male population.
Next issue is getting the VR made everyrthing work really great. A V meant cutting the vas deferens, which for a certain percentage of the population means the seminal vesicles (roughly 70% of ejaculate) do not activate. This explains why post V it sort of worked but not really like it should. I was not a happy camper for too many years, though it worked kinda ok.
Upshot: Getting a V may come with a lot more complications than they let on and several of them cannot be predicted. I want to stress that all surgeries were flawless, so these are not complications of that. I post this as a case study.
Anyone else experience this?
