Hello,
My husband got a vasectomy. A few
months later he started have hives. No one
knows how to make it stop. Is it possible
that he is now allergic to himself? Please
any help or suggestion would be great. His
doctor has put him on everything he can.
Nothing is stopping it. HELP

Has your husband changed his diet? Is he
eating any differently?

Hives? Posted: 08-18-07 16:05pm
My grandmother had hives and she told us
it was caused by the heat (we lived in
south Texas--a veritable furnace). So, in
the 1950s, she and my grandfather got a
ranch in Colorado to spend the summers
there.
I can't imagine how a vasectomy could
cause hives or any allergy unless your
husbans contracted a virus of some type.
After reading up on hives, it did say that
hives could be a symptom of some other
disease. It also mentioned that hives
could be caused by some disruption of the
auto-immune system.
If nothing is helping with the allergy,
maybe you do need to seek out a specialist
with skin allergies. And yogahoneybunny
could be right about a change in diet.
BTW, did the vasectomy work out okay and
was there no infection that showed up? I
was thinking of the change in sperm count
and also being tested for white blood cell
count.
Hope everything works out. Good luck. Bye

I know that the local anasthetic can cause
this for a few days after the op but not
for months...
As for hives have you thought about mental
factors like stress ?
