What Causes Low Sex Drive Post Epididymal Cyst Removal?

I had 5 cysts removed from my right epididymus. The cysts were as large as the testicle itself. The surgeon warned me about a possible detachment of the epididymus from the testicle. After the operation he told me he cut the epididymus from the testicle to remove the cysts and stitched it back up again, Now five weeks after the operation I am noticing a reduced sex drive and erection quality my testosterone count is 7.2 were as 10-25 is normal and mine was recorded at 10 before. He prescribed androgel. My life is ruined. Will the testosterone count increase as the trauma subsides? Is it normal practice to cut off the epididymus and sew it back on? I would have thought that draining the spermatocele would be enough. He told me before that he would tie them off. I want my cysts back!

Hi,

Disconnecting epididymis and reconnecting will not affect your testosterone production unless your testis is infected. Need not worry about one value of testosterone. Need to find out other methods to improve your stamina. Get a direct check up with an andrologist.
