Medical knowledge: Can men recover after vasectomy?

After having children, many men choose to have a sterilization surgery to avoid causing harm to their wives due to pregnancy and miscarriage. So, can men recover after sterilization? What should men do if they want to have children after sterilization surgery? Can they still restore their fertility?

Can men recover after vasectomy?

Whether a man can regain his fertility after having a vasectomy depends on how the vasectomy was performed.

Vascular ligation (surgical sterilization) is to remove a part of the vas deferens and then tie it off, so that the sperm and egg cannot meet, thus achieving the purpose of contraception. Vascular ligation has a history of more than 100 years, and there are more than 100 methods of ligation. Although male ligation is a minor surgery, the impact of ligation on men cannot be ignored.

If you still want to have children after vasectomy, you can go to a regular hospital for vasectomy. Vasectomy does not affect the male ovarian function and the secretion of male hormones is still normal, so as long as the vasectomy is performed, you will still have the ability to have children after recovery. It depends on the patient's own condition.

Vasectomy requires surgery, and it is a method of sterilization by blocking the vas deferens. Men are advised to use condoms more often. Vasectomy generally causes some degree of damage to men's prostate health and mental health.

Does vasectomy have any impact on men's health?

Many male patients often ask in the clinic whether vasectomy will affect sexual function and ejaculation during intercourse. In fact, clinically, it does not affect male sexual function, sexual desire and orgasm. Moreover, there will still be clear ejaculation during intercourse, but there will be no sperm in the semen. Because male hormones are secreted by the testicles and transported through the blood, they have nothing to do with the vas deferens, so it will not affect sexual function.

Doctors also remind that male sterilization also has disadvantages. Generally, doctors will advise patients to think carefully and reconsider the decision for men who want to be sterilized. Because once a man has been sterilized, if he wants to reconnect and get pregnant again in the future, he still has to pay for the vasectomy microsurgery at his own expense, and the cost is more expensive than the sterilization cost. In addition, the connection rate will decrease with age. After a man has been sterilized, he will also produce autoimmunity (anti-sperm antibodies), which will result in a low pregnancy rate after reconnection. Therefore, you must think twice before doing it.
