In 1990 I had undergone a vasectomy and in 1992 I went in for a reversal. It was not successful so I went into another reversal a year later. That also did not achieve the required result. Now I am nearing 50 years and find that my testosterone are very low which makes me very tired and want to go to sleep immediately after my dinner. I sometimes feel that Vasectomy could be responsible for this change but than I am aging too. After my vasectomy and the two reversals thereafter and during that period I was quite active and strong and had sex on a regular basis (say once in two weeks). Now I have been prescribed to take Testosterone gel by my primary doctor. During the two months that I am applying the gel, my blood lab report shows an increase in my Potassium lever over the normal limit. It has not really made much of a difference in my sexual activities except at some occassions. I really cannot conclude what could have caused the low testosterone. I do take my regular 30 minutes walk too and eat heathy. I have turned vegetarian about 1 year back. Could that be the problem but than there are many testosterone increasing vegetarian foods like celery, almonds, bananas, etc. Well, cannot conclude anything on this questios of " Does having a vasectomy affect testosterone levels in any way?" You decide.

Having a vasectomy does not directly affect testosterone levels. The testicles continue to produce testosterone after a vasectomy. The procedure only blocks the vas deferens, preventing sperm from being present in ejaculate.
