I'm not so sure it doesnt affect men. My husband and I decided for him to have a vasectomy back in 1993 after our second child. He has had medical problems ever since.
In 2005 his symptoms became life threatening and he last worked 2007. He has lots of chronic symptoms but the main one is he stopped sweating...He can no longer do anything that a normal person would do without over heating and going into heat stroke. We have been to UAB, Vanderbilt, and Mayo clinc with him.

They removed a tumor and part of one kidney thinking it was affecting the adrenal systems, but that was in 2009 and he is still sick to date. He has memory loss, insomnia deression and lots of fibro like pains.

We are at a loss of what is wrong with him. The best advice I found was from an equine vet who told us a lot on anhidrosis in horses. Humans can be born not sweating but they do not stop sweating in midlife. We took a break from him being a guinea pig and plan to start again looking for answers soon.

I think it was brought on by his vasectomy.

The depression I think is from him not being able to do anything and from not being able to get disability...because you cant get disability for a symptom.
