Why is my husband not reaching orgasm after his vasectomy?
My husband had his vasectomy performed 2 months ago. We've had sex, he gets aroused and has good erection but when he ejaculates he does not reach the climax. He is not having orgasms even though his erections are strong. He told me that he feels disconnected from the ejaculation. Is that normal after the period of time since the procedure? Will it get better with time?

There is no medical reason for this. A vasectomy does not interfere with testosterone, penile blood flow or sensation. This may be a psychological issue. Give it some time. If it continues, seek a specialist in this issue.

The most common cause for having delayed or no ejaculation are serotonin related medicines used for anxiety or depression. Some pain medications like Ultram have this characteristic as well. The most probable scenario for your husband if he is on no medication is psychogenic. Having had a procedure on that area of the male's body can initiate a whole series of concerns for him with sex that before the vasectomy he did not think about. The "thinking about it" is the issue and yes this will improve as time goes on.

Vasectomy does not affect orgasm or ejaculation. The most common cause of this are side effects from anxiety or depression medications.
