Can men recover after ligation
Sihaiwang: many people have misunderstandings about ligation. The traditional idea is that ligation is the exclusive term for women. In fact, men can also ligate. What are the effects of ligation and contraception for men? Can men recover after ligation? Let's take a look at the common sense about ligation for men!
Ligation, where is it?
The so-called ligation is to bind and block some 'pipes' in the body by artificial means, such as the vas deferens and fallopian tubes.
The most common is male vasectomy. Generally speaking, to perform male ligation, it is necessary to cut off the vas deferens and prevent semen from flowing from the testicles to the penis, so as to greatly reduce the probability of fertilization and pregnancy during sexual intercourse.
This is a small operation with a small wound, and the technology is relatively mature. If a couple who has passed the appropriate childbearing age or has no family planning, they can consider ligation and contraception. But now there are not many men who have this kind of operation, and condom contraception is still the mainstream.
Due to some "historical problems", there are still some areas in which the family planning policy of "more than two children need to be ligated" is implemented. The compulsory ligation of the protagonist in the above news events may also be due to this policy.
In addition, women can also be ligated, but due to the complicated operation, side effects and other reasons, female ligation is not common at present.
Is ligation equivalent to castration?
I believe that many people have heard of these statements:
'men become mothers after ligation'
'men's strength will weaken after ligation'
'ligation can cause many sequelae'
What's the reality?
First of all, ligation and castration are not the same thing. Castration is to change the level of androgen, and vasectomy will not cause any change of hormone level, because hormones are produced from testis, from hypothalamus pituitary gonad axis, and ligation will not destroy this' axis'. Ligation is only a mechanical way to produce sperm from testis and epididymis, which cannot be delivered to the seminal vesicle or out of the body. Ligation will not change the sexual characteristics and hormone level.
After ligation, men still have ejaculation in sexual life, the amount of semen will not change, some will increase, and men can still experience sexual pleasure and orgasm, the only difference is that there is no sperm in semen.
However, vasectomy is a small invasive operation after all. Generally, there is no big injury, but some people may have some small complications, such as epididymal stasis and painful nodule.
Therefore, in short, ligation will not affect sexual ability and pleasure, but considering the convenience and simplicity of condom contraception, male vasectomy is generally not recommended.
How do you want to have children after ligation?
First of all, vasectomy is not once and for all, it is not equal to complete sterilization, and there is a certain probability of pregnancy, although the probability is very low.
Some couples who have had ligation operations need to restore fertility due to special circumstances such as change of mind and bereavement of children, so they need to have vasectomy to reconnect the broken vas deferens and restore the transmission function of semen.
At present, the success rate of vasectomy is about 80%. Although the success rate is not low, many operations are bound to generate additional costs, and the operation itself does have certain risks.
So generally speaking, couples are advised to use condoms and other contraceptives instead of ligation, which is an outdated contraceptive method.
If you decide to ligate, what should you pay attention to?
If you have decided to have a ligation, keep these points in mind:
1. Do a good job of pre-operative consultation to relieve concerns;
2. If the skin around the incision of scrotum appears small blue and purple, there is no need to see a doctor. If the scrotum is swollen and the skin appears gradually purple or bleeding, it should be treated in time;
3. Forbid the sex within two weeks after operation, pay attention to rest, avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise;
4. Contraception should be continued for 3 months.
In addition, after the ligation operation, the male can not give up the contraceptive measures immediately from the effect of permanent contraception until it is proved that there is no sperm after two sperm tests.
It is worth mentioning that the ligation certificate can be obtained after the ligation operation, which is a certificate with Chinese characteristics as the glorious family planning certificate.
