What are the effects of vasectomy for boys?

Sterilization is one of the best ways for effective contraception between men and women. Sterilization can affect the transport of male sperm, which in turn prevents the formation of fertilized eggs, thereby achieving the purpose of effective contraception. However, many people are afraid of this operation and think it will cause harm to the human body. So what kind of impact will male sterilization have? What precautions should be taken?

Male sterilization actually involves tying off the vas deferens that transports sperm, thereby preventing sperm from entering the vagina. There is no damage to the testicles. After sterilization, sexual intercourse still involves normal ejaculation, and women can still feel the pleasure of ejaculation, but the semen does not contain sperm. Although the function of the testicles to produce sperm is not affected, the testicles still have the ability to absorb sperm normally, and the testicles will not be damaged by excessive sperm accumulation. Since the testicles are not damaged at all, the sex hormones they secrete must be the same as those of normal people, and they can also maintain normal male sexual function and male secondary sexual characteristics, and they will not become "eunuchs" at all; if some people feel that their sexual function has decreased after sterilization, it is entirely due to psychological factors.

Why do we promote male sterilization?

Although female tubal ligation is a simple birth control measure with many benefits, male vasectomy is simpler, more convenient, safer and more reliable. Those who think that male ligation will seriously damage the vitality and that a family cannot be without the support of a "man" are wrong. At present, most female ligation in our country is due to this idea, not because female ligation is better than male ligation. Therefore, we must establish a scientific viewpoint and promote male ligation.

First, vasectomy is simple. It is located under the skin of the scrotum, superficially, and easily hooked, with a low chance of accidental ligation. Furthermore, there are no important organs, blood vessels, or nerves next to the vas deferens, so it is not easy to be accidentally injured. In addition, the incision is small, does not enter the abdominal cavity, does not cause obvious pain or bleeding, and requires few or no stitches. After the operation, you can rest for an hour and go home, and you can go back to work as usual two days later.

Secondly, there are no sequelae after vasectomy, and it does not affect physical strength and sexual function; at the same time, men are generally open-minded, straightforward, and not suspicious or worried, so the psychological factors are less affected than women. However, in terms of the current national conditions in my country, male sterilization must be carried out when the couple fully understands the principles and processes of the operation and is completely voluntary. Otherwise, it will cause greater psychological pressure.

Generally, male sterilization will not affect the body and life. Male sterilization is to cut off the vas deferens that transports sperm from the testicles to the penis, so that the sperm cannot enter the semen and is excreted from the body. Suggested precautions after surgery: If small patches of bruises appear around the scrotal incision after surgery, no medical treatment is required. If the scrotum is swollen, the skin gradually expands and becomes purple or bleeding, etc., timely diagnosis and treatment should be sought; sexual intercourse is prohibited within two weeks after surgery, and attention should be paid to rest, and heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise should be avoided. 3.
