Is it okay for a man to have a vasectomy?

During sex, it is very important to take good contraceptive measures. There are many common contraceptive measures, some are short-term contraceptives, some are long-term contraceptives, such as male sterilization, which is a long-term contraceptive method. Unlike other contraceptive methods, sterilization is a very small operation, which makes people worry about the impact on the body. So, is it good for men to have sterilization? Let's take a look below.

What is male sterilization?

Some people also mistake male sterilization for male vasectomy. Male sterilization is to tie the vas deferens so that sperm cannot enter the vagina, thus achieving the effect of contraception. Vasectomy is simple. It is located under the skin of the scrotum, superficial, easy to hook, and the possibility of accidental ligation is small. There are no important organs, blood vessels, or nerves next to the vas deferens, so it is not easy to be accidentally injured. In addition, the incision is small, does not enter the abdominal cavity, there is no obvious pain or bleeding, and few or no stitches are required. After the operation, you can rest for one hour and go home, and you can go back to work as usual two days later.

Male sterilization will not have any side effects on the body, and will not affect physical strength and sexual function. After sterilization, sexual intercourse still has a normal ejaculation process, and men can still feel the pleasure of ejaculation, but the semen does not contain sperm. Although the function of the testicles to produce sperm is not affected, the testicles still have the ability to absorb sperm normally, and the testicles will not be damaged due to excessive sperm accumulation. Sterilization usually does not affect the normal life of men. Physical strength remains, sexual function is intact, and it does not leave men with sequelae.

Precautions for male sterilization:

1. Get good preoperative consultation and relieve your concerns.

2. If small purple patches appear around the scrotal incision after surgery, there is no need to seek medical attention. However, if the scrotum swells and the skin becomes purple or bleeds gradually, timely diagnosis and treatment should be sought.

3. No sexual intercourse within two weeks after the operation, pay attention to rest, and avoid heavy physical labor and strenuous exercise.

4. Contraception needs to be continued for 3 months after the operation.
