Despite what some reports and anecdotes may have you believe, a vasectomy does not cause ED. Erection problems after vasectomy may be due to common causes of ED, like poor circulation, or they may be psychological in nature.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the short answer to a troubling question: There’s nothing about a vasectomy that affects hormone levels or the tissues that must operate properly for sex. In cases of men who experience erectile dysfunction (ED) after recovering from surgical vasectomy, it is usually chalked up as coincidence, or it may be diagnosed as being due to psychological issues surrounding the choice of vasectomy. What is the science behind the assumed correlation between male vasectomy and ED? If the ED isn\u2019t caused by the vasectomy, what is the problem?<\/p>\n

ED and Your Vasectomy<\/h3>\n

We know that Viagra cures ED. We also know that vasectomies don\u2019t cause the ED. Yet the rumors persist when men recover from their vasectomy and experience ED that the two are related. Further, an article in Healthline states<\/a>, \u201cJust as a vasectomy doesn\u2019t cause ED, a vasectomy reversal won\u2019t either. Testosterone production remains unaffected during both procedures\u2026the body\u2019s process for erections and climaxing is unrelated to the procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n

One clinical trial<\/a> studied the topic of post-vasectomy ED and found that in many cases, there was a psychological tie to their condition. Men who believe that a vasectomy will emasculate them in some way can experience ED. The study noted, \u201cGenerally, a patient\u2019s psychosocial environment is most important for the acceptance of vasectomy.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, whether your post-vasectomy ED is in your head or a physical condition, it\u2019s important to see your doctor to rule out other concerns. If the issue is ED and not another underlying issue, treatment with Viagra will likely eliminate the issue and restore your sexual health<\/a>.<\/p>\n
