What are the precautions for vasectomy?

Vasectomy is a method of male birth control. Many men are willing to use this method for birth control. They all think that this method is safe and less painful. Therefore, many people want to know more about the precautions for vasectomy. In order to understand more details, let's take a look at the following introduction.

Vasectomy is a permanent birth control measure for men. It blocks the flow of sperm through vasectomy, ligation, or electrocoagulation, embolization, or chemical drugs to block the internal organs of the vas deferens, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. It is suitable for married men who require sterilization; those who are not suitable for reproduction due to certain genetic diseases; and those who have sterilization requirements. Vasectomy can be performed at the same time as surgery for hydrocele, inguinal hernia, or varicocele.

Vasectomy is a type of vasectomy. The vas deferens is relatively superficial and can be fixed through the skin. Then, the vas deferens is infiltrated and anesthetized in the sparsely vascularized areas on both sides of the scrotum. The skin is cut open, the vas deferens is lifted out and freed, and cut slightly away from the epididymis. About 0.8 cm is removed, and the two ends are ligated and buried. After checking for bleeding, the skin is sutured. The operation is simple and safe. As long as the aseptic operation technique and surgical procedures are strictly followed and performed carefully and seriously, complications rarely occur. Once they occur, they can be properly resolved if they are discovered in time and given appropriate treatment.

Notes

1. Strictly follow aseptic operation. Cut open the spermatic cord fascia and the outer membrane of the vas deferens.

2. The vas deferens must be properly fixed to prevent it from slipping.

3. The operation must be gentle, and the incision should be made in the avascular area of ​​the scrotal skin, and the bleeding must be stopped carefully.

4. When freeing the vas deferens, the tunica vaginalis should be peeled off cleanly, the ligature should not be too thick, and other tissues should not be pierced.

5. To ensure the effect, spermicide can be injected into the seminal vesicle before ligation. Commonly used spermicides include 1% procaine, vitamin C and 0.01% phenylmercuric acetate, 2-3 ml is injected on each side.

6. Patients with hemorrhagic constitution, scrotal dermatitis or skin disease, spermatic cord inflammation, epididymitis, seminal vesiculitis, prostatitis, or severe neurological dysfunction should not undergo this surgery.

7. Be familiar with the local anatomy of the scrotum and testicles. If there are abundant venous clusters in the scrotum and spermatic cord, and the local tissues are loose, damage to blood vessels or incomplete hemostasis during surgery can cause bleeding and hematoma, and secondary infection is easy to occur. The operation should be careful and gentle to reduce excessive tissue damage or bleeding. The length of vas deferens stripping and removal should be appropriate, and other tissues should not be brought in during ligation. The tightness and thickness of the ligature should be appropriate, and less thread ends should be left to reduce the reaction of local tissues and adhesions. When ligating the vas deferens near the epididymis, a distance should be left to accommodate the vas deferens and epididymis fluid.

The above content introduces the precautions of vasectomy. If you want to undergo vasectomy, you should have a comprehensive understanding of the precautions in the above content. After understanding, I believe you will have a better understanding of vasectomy. However, experts remind you that you must choose a regular hospital for this operation to ensure safety.
