I received a letter: I am 35 years old and already a mother of two. These days I'm having a big fight with my husband over contraception. Because of my special constitution, contraceptive rings and taking pills have a great impact on my body, I have not taken these two methods.
My husband felt that condoms would affect his sexual interest, so he rarely used them. Although he avoided my ovulation period, there were always accidents. Just the other day, I found out that I was pregnant, and this baby is impossible to have due to the current pressure. I wonder, is there any way to make contraception forever?
Why contraception?
Contraception can help people plan their families and prepare them financially, psychologically and physically to better welcome their children. Family planning can make the burden of the family more reasonably distributed, so that the husband and wife have more time and energy to pay attention to the growth and development of their children. In addition, family planning can reduce the pressure on medical resources, reduce child and maternal mortality, and improve the quality of health of babies born.
Contraception can control the number of people, especially in the case of overpopulation, contraception can effectively reduce the birth rate and control the population size. If the population is too large, it will lead to a series of problems such as resource shortage, environmental degradation, and social instability. Through contraception, each family can have enough time and energy to take care of their children, so that the whole society is more harmonious and stable.
Contraception can maintain the stability and development of families and society. In many countries and regions, the family is the basic unit of society. If the family's family planning is appropriate, it can make the family more harmonious and happy, and contribute to the stability and development of the whole society. In addition, contraception can also help women to have more access to education and work, improve their social status, and promote social equality and development.
What is the once-and-for-all contraceptive method for foreigners?
A "set-and-forget" contraceptive method commonly used by foreigners is ligation. Ligation is a reversible or irreversible form of contraception and usually includes both vasectomy and tubal ligation.
Vasectomy is a more common method of male contraception, which is used to surgically cut or close the vas deferens to prevent sperm from entering the ejaculate fluid during ejaculation, so as to achieve the purpose of contraception. This procedure can generally be done under local anesthesia and sexual activity can be resumed immediately after the procedure, but attention needs to be paid to postoperative examinations and avoiding another pregnancy.
Tubal ligation is a commonly used method of female contraception, which is used to surgically cut or close the fallopian tube to prevent the egg and sperm from meeting and fertilizing in the fallopian tube, so as to achieve the purpose of contraception. This procedure requires general anesthesia, a period of rest after the procedure, and attention to hygiene and body protection during recovery.
Ligation is a very effective form of contraception, but it also requires the following considerations:
Careful consideration: Ligation is an irreversible method of contraception, so you need to carefully consider your fertility needs and future development plans before deciding to undergo surgery. If you want to have children, you should not have a ligation.
Surgical risks: Ligation surgery is a type of surgery and there may be surgical risks such as bleeding, infection, pain, etc. Therefore, when choosing a surgical hospital and doctor, one should choose a hospital and doctor with rich experience and a good reputation.
Postoperative recovery: After surgery, a certain recovery period is required, and it is necessary to pay attention to rest and diet, and avoid strenuous exercise and sexual life. In addition, regular follow-up visits are required to check the results of the surgery and physical condition.
Reversible ligation: Reversible ligation may be a better option for people who are unsure whether they want lifelong contraception. This procedure can be surgically reversed when fertility is needed to restore fertility.
Why is ligation surgery rarely used in China?
Ligation surgery is rarely used in China, mainly due to the following reasons:
Influence of cultural and religious attitudes: In China, family and traditional culture attach great importance to the continuation of children and grandchildren, so ligation surgery may be seen as an act contrary to traditional values. In addition, some religious beliefs may also influence people's acceptance of ligation procedures.
The impact of education and publicity level: Compared with Western countries, China still has certain deficiencies in contraceptive education and publicity. Many people's knowledge and understanding of contraception are not sufficient, and there are even some misunderstandings and prejudices. As a result, there is insufficient knowledge and understanding of ligation as a form of contraception.
Restrictions of laws and regulations: China's family planning policy stipulates that each family can only have one or two children, which means that if you want to have another child, you need to comply with the policy. Ligation surgery is generally considered to be an irreversible method of contraception that may affect the family's future birth plans, so it may not meet the requirements of the policy.
Lack of medical technology and security: Although ligation is a common form of contraception in many countries, there may still be a certain gap in the level of medical technology and protection in China. Some hospitals may not have performed enough ligation procedures and lacked experience and skills.
Ligation surgery is an effective method of contraception, but you also need to carefully consider your fertility needs and future development plans, pay attention to surgical risks and postoperative recovery. When choosing a contraceptive method, you should choose the one that best suits you and do it under the guidance of a doctor.
