Sperm absorption after 40 years. I am now 73 years of age with many health problems. Could sperm absorption be causing my health problems?
The direct and there is no unless a definite no. We know that having a vasectomy stimulates the immune system and for over 40 years this question has been looked at in the multiple studies. There has never been a steady that has found an increase in any disease except prostate cancer. In the early 1900s there were 2 studies that suggested that it did. That raised a a lot of concern and subsequently there have been many studies, much larger and looked at for a much longer periods of time and there is no disease that is associated with having had a vasectomy. This is considered a settled issue in urology

It would be very unusual. Heart disease and prostate cancer have to be extensively evaluated and no correlation to having had a vasectomy has been found. Sperm antibodies do form in some after a vasectomy but in this case too no negative effect to the man's health has been noted.

There is no evidence that sperm absorption has any health affect.

No. Studies have looked at this and have not found any relationship to cancer, heart disease, osteoarthritis, just to name a few.
