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

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 ?

What happens to allthose sperm after the tubes are cut? The immune system devices antibodies to hunt them down and destroy them.

This has not been proooven to cause any real problems, but someofthe flaky alternative health types have claimed the vasectomy can cause "auto-immune" problems in a few people....

Or it could be a coincidence.
