My husband had a vasectomy in July. Within a month he started experiencing hives all over his body daily and fatigue and joint pain. Doctor (Dermotologist) tested him to rule out autoimmune disorders such as lupus. Doc said sometimes (very rarely) vasectomy can cause this reaction and we can only wait for his immune system to acclimate and that it can take up to 3 years... anyone else ever experience this??? Doc has him on Singulair, Claritain and Zantac daily and they don't suppress smmptoms any longer, should we seek a second opinion?

I’m no doctor, but I researched vasectomies before I got mine. Once in a while, the doctor makes an error after cutting the sperm ducts. The doctor likely didn’t close up one of the two sperm ducts very well. The sperm spilled out into his body.
Anyway, his body is allergic to his own sperm. Being that the duct didn’t properly close, they will continue to enter his blood or even his sack until the duct closes. The problem will eventually go away.
Print out this explanation and take it to a different doctor.

anytime you are not getting results by your condition improving it is best to get a second opinion...
