It's probably just a risk factor and not causative but i would never mess around with that. Semen mixing with blood in your body and making your body think there is some foreign material invading your body just doesn't seem right. Instead, get your wife an ovulation monitor and avoid sex during fertile days or use condom. This method can be just as effective as the pill if done right although not as convenient as vasectomy.

Those are incredibly small samples sizes. Need to see a much larger study that is better controlled.
Also would like to see age and procedure based filters of the data set, as well as details on adherence to guidelines before and after the procedure.
More modern vasectomy practices - which involve cutting, then cauterizing, and finally tying each end would likely reduce the hypothesized cause/connection.
