Can they ejaculate after a vasectomy? Let's take a look.

1. Can I ejaculate after a vasectomy?

Male sterilization surgery involves cutting off the vas deferens that carries sperm from the testicles to the penis, so that the sperm cannot enter the semen and are excreted from the body. Therefore, men cannot have children after sterilization, but if they want to have children, they can have a vasectomy reversal.

Some people worry that they will not ejaculate after vasectomy, which will affect sexual pleasure. A small number of people will experience sexual dysfunctions of varying degrees, such as premature ejaculation, after sterilization. Experts say that this is mainly due to psychological reasons, because after vasectomy, you can still ejaculate, but there will be no sperm in the semen.

2. What are the dangers of male sterilization?

Male sterilization is a very simple and safe operation. The principle is to cut off or block the passage for sperm to be discharged from the body, which will not affect the production of sperm. Since the transport duct is cut off, sperm cannot be discharged, so it accumulates in the testicles and is reabsorbed, without any damage to the testicles. After sterilization, sexual intercourse still has a normal ejaculation process, and women can still feel the pleasure of ejaculation, but the semen does not contain sperm. The function of the testicles to produce sperm is not affected, and they still have the normal ability to absorb sperm. Therefore, male sterilization is not harmful to health, and there is no need to worry too much.

3. What is male sterilization?

Male sterilization: Generally, sterilization is performed by vasectomy. The vas deferens is relatively free in the scrotum and can be easily touched through a layer of skin. It feels as thick as a matchstick and is a hard and tough tube. Along with it runs a bundle of soft tissue, which contains veins, arteries, and nerve fibers, collectively known as the spermatic cord in medicine. During the operation, only the vas deferens is ligated, while the blood vessels and nerves are kept intact. During the operation, the doctor uses the thumb and index finger of the left hand to pinch the vas deferens through the scrotal skin and slowly squeeze the tube under the skin, paying special attention not to pinch the contents of the spermatic cord. After injecting anesthetic into the local skin, the doctor used a knife to make a small incision of about half a centimeter in the skin, and then tied the two ends with silk thread.
