What are the disadvantages of male vasectomy?

For many families with children, opinions are more important than anything else. However, there are many ways of contraception. Traditional condoms and ejaculation outside the body will affect the quality of sex life. However, long-term use of contraceptives by women will have certain side effects on the body. Therefore, many "new good men" choose male sterilization as a way of contraception, which will not affect the quality of sex life. Let us now learn about the disadvantages of male sterilization.

What are the disadvantages of male vasectomy?

Male sterilization is currently considered as a "good man in the new era". The main reason is that female sterilization requires the risk of general or partial anesthesia and the cost is more expensive than male sterilization, while male sterilization only requires outpatient surgery, local anesthesia and very small incisions. A small incision of about 0.5 cm is made on each side of the scrotum, and the patient can leave the hospital on the same day without hospitalization.

However, after the operation, because there are still some residual sperms, it is recommended to continue to wear condoms. After about 15 to 20 intercourses or 3 months after the operation, when the residual sperms are emptied, you can start to have sex without condoms. You should return to the outpatient clinic after 3 months for a semen analysis to see if there is only semen but no sperms.

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. Once a man has been sterilized, if he wants to reconnect and get pregnant again in the future, the vasectomy success rate will decrease with age. In addition, after a man has been sterilized, he will produce autoimmunity (anti-sperm antibodies), which will result in a low pregnancy rate after reconnection. Therefore, you should think twice before doing it.

Every man's duty is to protect his wife and prevent her from getting hurt. Many men also consider their wives' health first when taking contraceptive measures. After understanding the disadvantages of male sterilization, they must make careful choices. In fact, there are many ways of contraception and there is still a lot of room for choice.
