This has been a good forum to read as there isn't any judgement and lots of knowledge. I posted a while back about low libido. Things changed after I had a vasectomy - very low drive, desire, weak orgasms, less sensitive. I'm wishing that I could go back and not have done that but I can't. I'm over 40 in decent shape. Now I know your T is supposed to decline as you age but this was like walking through a door, one minute I'm fine, after the procedure I was like, WTF?! This was 2 years ago and have been battling this entire time thinking it was in my head or just hoping it would fix itself.
So I finally go to the doc. I get all the usual things like are you stressed, you're over 40 blah, blah. I'm like no, you don't understand, if this was gradual, then yes, but no, it was like instant. They look at me like I'm bullshitting them or I'm crazy. Suggests bloodwork, Urologist and then maybe an anti-depressant. I see a Urologist, cause that's just where they sent me, it's a woman. She tells me it's all in my head pretty much. I'm like no, I know what I was like before and I know what I'm like now. Shit is different. She just wants to prescribe Viagra or something. I don't want that.
Anyway, they are doing blood work and I go back next week to find out if my T is low. It's really my only explanation. I'm really hoping that's it and I can at least have an answer. I can't tell you how frustrating it's been.
There was another person here that had the same sort of experience after getting snipped. I'm wondering if there is anyone else?
