A man's ligation is to cut off the sperm delivery system inside the testicle, preventing sperm from being expelled from the body, thereby achieving the effect of contraception.
"After undergoing ligation surgery, men do not immediately experience permanent contraceptive efficacy, so other reliable contraceptive measures should be taken after the surgery. Until two sperm tests have proven that there is no sperm at all, contraception should not be abandoned.".
"Male ligation is a permanent method of contraception. The principle of contraception is to cut off the sperm delivery line from the testicles to the penis, preventing sperm from entering the semen and being expelled from the body. This permanent method of contraception is only suitable for couples who do not want to have any more children.".
"After undergoing ligation surgery, men do not immediately experience permanent contraceptive efficacy, so other reliable contraceptive measures should be taken after the surgery. Until two sperm tests have proven that there is no sperm at all, contraception should not be abandoned.". In very rare cases, the opened vas deferens can be reopened, thereby restoring fertility. Generally, minor complications caused by surgery include wound swelling and pain.
Precautions for male vasectomy surgery: 1. Do a good job of preoperative consultation to relieve concerns; 2. After surgery, there is no need to seek medical attention for small areas of cyanosis on the skin around the scrotal incision. If the scrotum is swollen, the skin appears gradually enlarged purple or bleeding, timely diagnosis and treatment should be provided; 3. Prohibit sexual intercourse within two weeks after surgery, pay attention to rest, and avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise; 4. Postoperative contraception should continue for 3 months.
Many men have some questions about ligation surgery, and experts will answer them one by one:
1、 Is male ligation safe?
Answer: Although female tubal ligation is a simple and beneficial birth control measure, compared to male tubal ligation, it is more simple, convenient, safe, and reliable. Those who believe that male ligation can greatly harm their vitality and that families cannot live without the support of "men" are wrong.
First of all, vasectomy is simple, it is located under the scrotum, superficial in location, easy to hook, and less likely to be ligated by mistake; Moreover, there are no important organs, blood vessels, or nerves adjacent to the vas deferens, making it difficult to accidentally injure them. In addition, the incision is small, does not enter the abdominal cavity, has no obvious pain and bleeding, and requires few or no stitches. After surgery, you can rest for one hour and go home. You can work as usual two days later.
Secondly, vasectomy does not leave any sequelae and does not affect physical and sexual function; At the same time, men are generally open-minded, cheerful, and not suspicious or anxious, so the impact of psychological factors is smaller than that of women. However, according to the current situation in China, male ligation must be performed voluntarily and with a full understanding of the principles and procedures of surgery by the couple. Otherwise, it will cause greater psychological pressure.
