Lost sensation in testicles after vasectomy?

My husband had a vasectomy around april 24th 2011 and still says the feeling in his balls is not the same as it used to be. He has also lost some of his sex drive and hardness. Im putting it down to stress and that he is probably still healing. Anyone else experienced this?

    Did he take a few days off and stay in bed with an ice pack on his scrotum right after the surgery? The anesthesia should have worn off long ago. It's been over a month. Have him talk to his urologist.

    With any surgery, there are risks and side effects. Some men are adversely affected by vasectomy. You may want to read some of the entries in the yahoo support message board contained in the link in the site below that I list as my source. Although your husband doesn't have PVPS (post vasectomy pain syndrome), many of the men that suffer from PVPS also have loss of libido and sensation along with varying degrees of ED. You may want to read up on the all the possible side effects of vasectomy. GL

    A very normal side effect...it will take time for the numbness to go away...as far as sex drive and hardness...getting a vasectomy will not change that...sometimes men just have a hard time after and get it in their heads that since they are not producing sperm in their ejaculate fluids that it makes them feel less of a man...which is not true at all and you need to make sure that he knows you still think of him as a sexy, hot guy...try spicing things up for him so he knows that you want him, need, and plain and simple want sex with him...feed his ego for a while...do things that surprise him..like jump him when he gets home...wake him with your mouth in a special area...sexy clothes things like that...so what he is thinking about is you...not what he just went through...soon enough he won't think about it and things will return to normal in the meantime just be very sexual with him...let him know that he is still the man that can make you weak in the knees..

    I know how it is. I've been in this situation so many times where I just felt lost and had no idea where I was going in life. It made me depressed and my quality of life was just at an all time low. I'm 36 years old and have been struggling with these issues for over a decade. I just don't know what is wrong but I've been able to adapt and get everything back from when I was younger, I'm talking 17-18 when I felt I was in my prime with my sex life. I started having problems after a break up with a girlfriend that I thought was the one but she basically tore my heart out. I was about 24 years old and when I started dating other women, my sex life was doomed. I've had it all from erection problems to all kinds of performance problems. Some were in my head. Anyways, since then I've tried all kinds of things. You know about viagra I'm sure...Who doesn't know about that stuff haha.

    At that point in my life, I tried it but couldn't get it all the time due to the doctors and my age. I knew a buddy who would steal the stuff from his dad for me. I just noticed that it's terrible stuff. I try to avoid pharmeceuticals as it is. I noticed I would get terrible migraines and an occasional blurred vision which truly was scary...Sure the erection was great but the side effects blew... In the meantime years passed and I found the love of my life again. The sex was good, the erections were great. No problems at all. No more viagra was needed for quite some time...Then all of a sudden, well you can geuss. Sex life down the toilet again.

    I was in my 30's by this time and just was stuck again. I suffer from depression so all this time I'm thinking I'm going through another low libido spell cause of it. Now I go to the doctors cause I feel ok talking about my problem. I've been on the cialis crap and some other one I can't remember nor do I want to look it up lol. Anyways it's all the same crappy side effects that just make everything terrible.

    I did some research and after a while everything started to make sense. I hated pharmaceuticals and a friend told me about the herbal way to get an erection and all these good articles about it. He said chinese men have been using these herbs for centuries to cure there problems in the sack. I figured what the hell...might as well give it a shot if it's not going to give me any side effects. I tried a couple of these out. To my amazement, both of them did what I needed so I kinda just have fun with each one. I'll explain why. I just needed something to get up. This one I found called vigrx plus was the one for this. It's all herbal and after a couple days of taking..you take it daily, I noticed right away my junk just wanted to stand straight up, sex drive was something that was crazy..you really can't handle yourself ..lol jk but you are like a teenager again... Check this stuff out at hughs-reviews.com because I saved money on it at the time there along with this other supplement I got there too...Check for coupons and updates. This one I just wanted to see if it worked cause it was suppose to increase your semen quality and amount. So right there I'm thinking damnn that must give you one hell of an orgasm. This was semenax, and I fiddle with it every once in a while when I want to load my wife up. She's always impressed with the amount and she even says it tastes better!! yippy if you know what I mean. Overall, I'm so glad I took the herbal route of keeping my sex life up to par.

    Struggling with it for long really messes with you so I know and feel ya when people talk about it. Good luck and I hope this helps you.
