Hebei reader Zhang Guang asked, "My wife and I have been married for three years and have just had a child.". Previously, we used to use oral contraceptives for contraception, but because our wife had to breastfeed and feared that the contraceptives would cause harm to the child, we wanted to undergo ligation surgery. I heard that ligation surgery to cut off the vas deferens may affect sexual ability and future sexiness. Is there any reason for such worries
Zhang Zhichao, Deputy Chief Physician of the Andrology Center of Peking University First Hospital, replied that the ligation operation is mainly aimed at the male vas deferens, which is a permanent contraceptive method. The principle is to cut off the vas deferens that transport sperm from the testicles to the penis, preventing sperm from entering the semen and exiting the body. Ligation surgery does not have a negative impact on sexuality. For men, the vas deferens and sexual function are like two systems that do not interfere with each other. The ligation of the vas deferens only blocks the passage of sperm from the testicles to the conduit where it mixes with other semen, so men still ejaculate semen, without significantly reducing the amount of ejaculation. Sperm only accounts for a small portion of semen, and its production has a certain cycle. If it is not excreted in the body, it will wither.
Male vasectomy is a reliable method of contraception, with simple surgery and low risk. It can be completed in a few minutes. It is also very convenient to recover after pregnancy. Currently, many men in Europe and the United States and other countries use ligation surgery for contraception, but due to some misconceptions in China, not many men undergo vasectomy.
