loss of sensation - cant reach orgasm

[2dan6634]

I am a 45 year old male, physically fit, normal alcohol consumption, non-smoker, no drugs.  About 7 years ago i had a vasectomy.  Since then i have notice a loss of sensation after acheiving an erection, so much so that i now take either viagra or cialis to maintain an erection during intercourse.  Even taking these drugs does not ensure orgasm.  I believe part of this has now become psychological - i have lost confidence in my ability to 'perform' during sex.  If i masterbate, i can achieve orgasm, but typically only if i watch x rated video and really work at it. during sex if i can't reach orgasm quickly, i will lose the erection, even with the meds.  This issue has had a huge impact on my marriage.  i have sought counseling, but that has not seemed to help.

Help!

I had a vastecomy at 30, I'm 43 now. I noticed a decrease in sensation and my orgasms became weak and unsatisfying. I thought it was in my head. Over a couple years it got worse and eventually I developed ED. I had some other symptoms too so my doctor checked my hormone levels. I had low testosterone and I was only in my mid 30's. I was put on androgel and after a week or so my energy came back mood improved and libido came back. My ED improved and my orgasms were the way I remembered them in my early 20's. I enjoyed sex again. I would encourage everyone having these symptoms to get your T levels checked. I eventually was put on testosterone injections because I stopped responding to the cream. I feel great. I'm curious if there is a connection between vastecomy and low T.

Im a woman and i would have to agree with that are saying its not your stat of Mind! Think about it when you masturbate your alone, usually but not always porn is accompanied by masturbation... When your having sex there's pressure, maybe some insecureity, you focus on pleasing your partner as well as yourself and things can become more complicated if your suffering from ED!

Hi how are you getting on now? Did you take the plunge to get a reversal?

I too am seriously considering getting a reversal to hopefully fix my erection issues.

I had a vasectomy 10 months ago (january 2014). Around august i noticed my erection strength started to become noticeably weaker, Ive been having issues for about 2 months now. I sometimes cannot even gain an erection, however when i do its a real struggle to gain one and maintain it. My girth is noticeably reduced also. I was fine for the first 7 months leading up to august! Any way i hope your doing well?, would love to hear how you have dealt with your terrible situation?? Take care liam

Im 30 and had a vasectomy 10 months ago (january 2013) I have had reduced sensations and erection issues for about 2 months now, i was ok up untill 2 months back. I was able to have healthy erections. Its so bad now that last night i could not even get an erection. If i do manage to get one i need to work very hard and receive specific and constant physical stimulation. If i do attain an erection i feel like im going to loose it (weak erection mainly)

has anybody had or heard of a reversal to address erection issues/ erectile dysfunction, and if so has it worked to fix the issues??

Im considering paying for a reversal, just worry it may make my issues worse, whereby i could potentially not get an erection permanently.

is anybody aware of a successful reversal to fix erection issues post vasectomy ??

I'm new to this forum, but came across this topic and while looking for answers.  I'm a healthy slender 33 year old man (same partner of over 15 years) who underwent a vasectomy procedure 15 months ago.  The procedure seemed to go just as described with the first vas, but when the doctor started working on the second vas....whoa that hurt.  His response was "that's odd" and proceeded to numb me before proceeding.  Other than that, no issues with the procedure.  When I returned home to recover over the next days, I followed the aftercare instructions to the letter, ie. no sex, plenty of frozen peas, and stay off my feet. After waiting 30 days I was very excited and very ready to finally have sex again, but things were very different than they were before.  Previously I would have very strong orgasms and would be so sensitive that I had to stop having sex immediately after orgasm because of how sensitive orgasm would make the end of my penis.  This time I had such a low amount of sensation during sex that it took over 45 minutes to finish and to emphasize finish I mean that I had ejaculated and could feel the pressure of ejaculating, but there was no pleasurable sensation tied to it.  Further, I was not sensitive to the touch when this happened.   My initial thought was that maybe it will take a little more healing time, but after experiencing the same thing each and every time I had sex over the next two months with no improvement, I went back to the doctor.  His only response was "that's strange, I'm not familiar with those symptoms, you should come back in a year if things don't improve"... So I waited the year and now that I had completely lost trust in my first doctor, I visited a urologist who had nothing more to say than that vasectomy does not cause those symptoms.   I'm really not sure what to do at this point.  I still have a high sex drive, have no problem with libido, but the loss of sensation is starting to take its toll in that sex is beginning to feel like a chore and I hate even thinking that because before the vasectomy it was like most men, my favorite and most pleasurable thing to do.  Is it possible that a verve was injured during the    Anastegia???  Has anyone else with these symptoms received a diagnosis?  How do you fix this?

Dr. I think it's important that you read these men's posts. A month after my husband's surgery he said that the power of his orgasm declined... not as much was shooting out and that was a huge part of his sensation. Also if the penis is super swollen from drugs (Viagra) couldn't this also decrease sensitivity. Like when your fingers or feet swell and you lose skin sensitivity. I had a friend whose mother was almost taken off life support because she wasn't responding to pokes of her feet. Her daughter said her feet are too swollen she can't feel you... she was a nurse and thank God she stopped them. Her mother is very happy about it too.
My husband is 57 and I'm 43 (we have two kids). Before the surgery he was having some issue, no doubt, but the surgery did make things worse for him as far as feeling an explosive vasectomy. I feel terrible about it, but I had to get off of BC and a condom caused sensitivity issues too. I think a lot of foreplay helps and if I'm pleased I give him a **. The strong sucking seems to help him feel a more intense O. That said I don't swallow and it doesn't have to shoot into my mouth... so guys... keep that in mind. He gets more that way. I trust my husband and have no doubt that what he is saying is real. I asked if it was me... may getting less tight as I age and he said no... he was firm in saying it was him and it wasn't the rubbing it was the coming. Guys talk to your wives and show them this email as well.
