What Causes Poor Orgasms After A Vasectomy?
Question: I am 39 years old I had a vasectomy about 5 years ago I had an extremely strong enjoyable sex drive with strong orgasms which ended immediately after my vasectomy I find it frustrating when people suggest that it is psychological i feel that it must have been connected to the vasectomy I made an effort to visit urologistand said that it was all in my head.its been 5 yearsand I've never had an earth shattering orgasm since sometimes I do get a mild mild orgasm but nothing to smile aboutI really miss the old days and hope for some recommendations suggestions advice please help
Brief Answer:
Sex therapist for work up, likely psychological
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Vasectomy is a permanent procedure of a contraception and fertility control. It prevents the release of sperm when a man ejaculates.
I want you to know that A vasectomy will not interfere with your sex drive, ability to have erections, sensation of orgasm, or ability to ejaculate. You may have occasional mild aching in your testicles during sexual arousal for a few months after the surgery. So it might be a psychological trigger as perception of infertility is a blow below the belt to any sane person despite all the self education and will for the procedure. A little sex therapy may help that .
I want you to know that The mechanism of orgasm is still the least well understood part of the sexual process. It probably involves central (cerebral) integration and response to sexual stimulation. Emission, ejaculation, and orgasm are typically associated with several other concomitant nongenital responses, which may include involuntary rhythmic contractions of the anal sphincter, hyperventilation, tachycardia, and elevation of blood pressure.
Transient sympathoadrenal activation during sexual activity, reflected by increases in epinephrine and norepinephrine plasma levels, together with increased cardiovascular activity, has been reported to be associated with orgasm in males.
The association of vasopressin, cortisol, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), growth hormone (GH), beta-endorphin, and testosterone with male orgasm remains unclear. Whereas both oxytocin and prolactin levels have been reported to peak immediately after orgasm, plasma prolactin levels seem to represent a more sustained and reliable endocrine marker of orgasm in males.
Nut shell , It might be a psychological oor a game of hormone and slight imbalance as i tried to explain in hte mechanism.
Now how to find out, Sex therapist. Thats right .. Seek a sex therapist and let them sort it out for you.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
