Principles of male sterilization

Male sterilization is a common practice in modern society. Since the surgery does not require hospitalization and is painless, it only takes about 10 minutes to complete, which is relatively convenient. Men who do not want to have children usually choose sterilization. But what is the principle of male sterilization? Please read on.

The most common sterilization surgery for men is vasectomy. The principle of contraception is to cut off the ejaculatory duct that transports sperm from the testicles to the genitals, so that the sperm cannot enter the semen and are eliminated from the body. However, after a man undergoes a sterilization surgery, it will not immediately produce a permanent contraceptive effect. Therefore, other reliable contraceptive methods must be used after the surgery. Contraception can only be abandoned after two sperm tests have confirmed the existence of complete azoospermia.

It should be pointed out that although the scope of male sterilization surgery is small and limited to the local area, and it will not have any impact on the whole body, it is still necessary to conduct a full-body physical examination before the operation. As long as the person agrees to the operation and does not have acute systemic diseases or inflammation of the male reproductive organs, surgery can generally be performed. Before the operation, you should fully understand whether there is a history of allergy to treatment drugs.

In addition, you should also pay attention to the appearance of a small black and blue patch of skin around the scrotal wound after male sterilization surgery. You do not need to seek medical attention. If the scrotum is swollen, the skin appears to be purple or bleeding that gradually expands, you should seek medical treatment immediately. The couple is prohibited from having sexual intercourse within half a month after the operation. Pay attention to rest, avoid heavy physical work and excessive exercise, and contraceptive measures must be taken again for 3 months after the operation.

As far as contraceptive methods are concerned, male sterilization is much simpler than female sterilization. Even the so-called side effects are much smaller. Moreover, after truly understanding the basic principles of male sterilization, everyone knows that male sterilization will not have any adverse effects on the human body, and it will not cause any impact on men's sexual function.
