What is a male IUD?

Many people are familiar with IUDs, but their selection cannot be made casually. Generally, couples will choose one after marriage when they do not plan to have a baby. Because before choosing an IUD, you must think carefully. So what is a male IUD? This is something many people are not clear about. Many people know about female IUDs. The following is a detailed introduction to male IUDs.

What is a male contraceptive ring?

The male contraceptive ring (IUD) is scientifically known as the non-obstructive vasectomy device.

The operation involves making a small incision on the testicle and placing a matchstick-sized device in the vas deferens, which can filter sperm and prevent pregnancy. The contraceptive rate is 97%, and it does not affect the secretion and circulation of male hormones and other fluids, nor does it affect daily life and sex life. Once the "matchstick" is removed, the vas deferens can be reopened.

Advantages of male IUD:

Experts say that the biggest advantage of this surgery is that it is reversible. It is like putting a funnel in the vas deferens, which only blocks sperm and does not affect the discharge of other body fluids. Even if sperm leaks out, it will be broken.

Regarding the safety issue that people are generally concerned about, experts said that this surgery is safe and effective, with minimal trauma, but because it is a minimally invasive technique, the surgery is difficult and there are currently few hospitals that can perform this surgery. Doctors must be trained before they can perform the surgery. The safety of the surgery is almost 100%.

The non-obstructive IUD, also known as the male birth control ring, breaks the monopoly of female birth control through the IUD, allowing men to achieve birth control through the IUD. However, the editor reminds that men who undergo this operation should regularly check their semen concentration and sperm volume to see if they are normal.

After understanding what a male IUD is, men should go to a regular hospital when choosing one to avoid causing harm to the body. If men feel uncomfortable after using the IUD, they need to have a physical examination in time to avoid inducing physical illness. This is also something to note.
