Original | Pregnancy
The matter of ligation seems to be done by women by default.
Men can accept ligation, and very few.
In the past two days, there was a news that the husband asked his wife to go for a ligation, which caused heated discussions among netizens.
The woman in the news gave birth to a son and two daughters after marriage, and the couple had no plans to have children, so her husband asked her to go for sterilization.

The woman said: I am only 25 years old, although I have not thought about divorce, but there is no guarantee that I can live to the end, I don't know what to do?
Her husband's request put her in a dilemma and she cried with grievances.
In this matter of ligation, none of us can directly say who should do it, but this matter should be discussed by both husband and wife, and if one party is unwilling, no one can force it.
Because contraception is a matter of two people, in addition to sterilization, there are many safe contraceptive options.
After the woman's experience was released, many netizens were talking about it.
Some people say: you are only 25 years old, don't go to ligatures, be tough, don't go if you don't want to go.
It is also said that men can also be sterilized, and it is faster, less troublesome and less harmful.
But whenever it comes to male ligation, there are always people who say: men can't do it, hurt the body, affect sexual function, affect work, etc.
Really, the road to popular science is long.
Male ligation is really not a flood beast, and from the pros and cons of ligation, real male ligation hurts less.

The mother immediately requests sterilization after giving birth
After the doctor's persuasion, she replied: "My husband can't accept it"
If the couple has no plans to have children and there is a requirement for sterilization, many doctors recommend that the man do it.
A while ago, there was news that a woman had just given birth and asked the doctor to sterilize herself.
Considering the woman's body, the doctor repeatedly confirmed with the mother whether a ligation is necessary: you have experienced pregnancy and childbirth, and you have not thought about letting your husband get sterilized?
The mother said: My husband seems to be unacceptable.
The doctor explained that male ligation is less invasive than female ligation, and it will be easier for men to unblock after ligation.
But in the end, the mother insisted that the doctor perform a ligation on her.
Doctors also respect the mother's idea: you don't regret it.
Ligation surgery, women are still the main force, on social platforms, many women shared their experience of being asked by their husbands to sterilize.
"I gave birth to 2 male children, and my husband asked me to get sterilized, saying that the man's ligation was afraid of not working, and I firmly refused."
"My colleague chose to have a ligation after a miscarriage because she said she wouldn't move her husband."
"Let my husband go to ligature him refused, I am afraid that I will not have sex directly after giving birth."
Male ligation is not good?
Male ligation is not a man?
Men are embarrassed to have ligatures?
Men can find many reasons to refuse sterilization, but women can't refuse, because once contraception fails, all the consequences are borne by women.
Today, the pregnant mother will come to popular science to popularize the matter of sterilization, hoping that everyone can fully understand the pros and cons of male and female sexual sterilization and make the most appropriate decision.

Judging by the pros and cons of ligation
Male ligation does cause less damage!
Let's start with a detailed look at ligation.
Male ligation refers to vasectomy, a surgical procedure to remove or close the vas deferens, which is internationally recognized as a sterilization method that is simple to operate, less damaged, short in time, with few complications and easy to popularize.
The surgical operation of vasectomy is relatively simple: find the vas deferens through the skin of the scrotum, make two small incisions, pick out the vas deferens, cut off a small section, bind each end, and then place it in different layers of the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum, and the wound is completed with one stitch each.
The entire procedure only requires local anesthesia, can be done in 10-15 minutes, and usually can go home the same day.
In the days after a vasectomy, there is usually some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the scrotum that can be relieved by taking painkillers!
Male ligation is less complicated, simple to operate, and has fewer side effects than female ligation.
Female ligation refers to tubal ligation, which needs to be performed vaginally or openly, and there are bladder, rectum and other organs in the abdominal cavity, the difficulty and complexity of the operation is much higher, and the risk of complications such as bleeding, infection, organ damage, pelvic inflammatory disease and so on after surgery is also greater.
For female ligation, first open a 3-4 cm opening in the stomach, and then find the fallopian tubes and perform the ligation.
Once a ligation is performed, women have little chance of regretting it.
Although resurrection surgery can be done after ligation, the probability of successful resurrection is relatively low, and even if the resurrection is successful, the probability of ectopic pregnancy is relatively high, and women are more guilty in this process.
So if you have to choose one, male ligation is better than female ligation.
But because of insufficient understanding, many people still regard it as an ancient castration, and even many people regard it as a flood beast.
But in fact, if you understand more, you will know that male ligation is not as scary and complex as imagined, and even more dominant than female ligation, look at the comparison of the following figure to understand:
If you consider postoperative injury and safety alone, male ligation is indeed more suitable.
But it does not mean that the ligature must be done by a man, whether to do it, who will do it, it needs to be discussed by the husband and wife.
③
Which men can have a vasectomy?
Ligation should only be considered if you are sure that you no longer want children or do not want them at all, and if you have a strong desire to do so.
Although you can regret after ligation and you can choose to revert, the reversal surgery is complicated and expensive, and even if it is restored, there is no complete guarantee of fertility.
Therefore, to do a ligation, it is necessary to be prepared to "no remorse", and at the same time understand the advantages and disadvantages of vasectomy:
1. Advantages of vasectomy
(1) The contraceptive effect of vasectomy is more than 99%.
(2) Vasectomy has very little effect on the health of the body.
(3) Vasectomy does not affect hormone levels, libido or interfere with sexual life.
(4) It can be used as a simpler and safer alternative to female sterilization surgery.
2. Disadvantages of vasectomy
(1) Vasectomy does not prevent sexually transmitted infections, so condoms are still required under special circumstances.
(2) Vasectomy surgery is not easy to reverse, and reversal surgery is usually not reimbursed.
(3) It is also necessary to continue contraception after surgery until there is no sperm in the semen after surgery.
(4) Possible complications include blood aggregation in the scrotum (hematoma), sperm granuloma (caused by sperm leaking from the vas deferens), infection, or long-term testicular pain (further surgery may be required).
If you decide to have a vasectomy, do a good job of recovery after the procedure.
(1) Within a few days after surgery, there will be some slight discomfort, swelling and bruising in the scrotum. Pain medications can be taken to relieve the pain, and if the medication doesn't work, see a doctor.
(2) For the first few days after surgery, wear supportive underwear. To help support the scrotum and relieve discomfort or swelling, make sure to change underwear daily.
(3) It is generally safe to take a bath or shower after surgery. Consult your doctor after the specific procedure and make sure to dry your genitals gently and thoroughly.
(4) Work can be resumed after 1-2 days after surgery. But avoid exercise and weight lifting for at least a week to prevent complications, and see your doctor if you still have uncomfortable symptoms after a few days.
(5) Avoid sexual activity for at least 7 days after vasectomy. Contraception should be used for 8-12 weeks after surgery, as there is still some stock in the seminal vesicles, which can lead to contraceptive failure.

Male ligation does not affect sexual function
Not to mention the lack of masculinity after ligation
Male ligation ≠ castration!
Male ligation is not the removal of eggs, nor the cutting of Tintin, but the cutting of the vas deferens, just like after female ligation, the great aunt and sex life continue as usual.
After male ligation, it also does not affect sexual function.
Questions and answers about male ligation that you want to know are here:
1. Will male ligation affect sexual life?
No! After a successful vasectomy, the testicles will continue to produce male hormones (testosterone), just like before the operation, sexual desire, pleasure, and erection will not be affected.
Ligation is only the ligation of the vas deferens, the testicles, epididymis and other male sexual genitalia, is not any damage, even the genitals have not touched, can still produce a variety of male hormones, you know, sperm is for reproduction, and androgens are to stimulate sexual desire and improve sexual excitement, after vasectomy ligation only the way out of sperm is blocked, neither affect the production of sperm, nor can affect the secretion of androgens.
So don't equate ligation with ancient castration, men will not become bad because of ligation, lose masculinity, you are still the personable and domineering you.
2. Can men still ejaculate after ligation?
Absolutely! More than 95% of the semen ejaculated before ligation is seminal plasma secreted by accessory glands such as the prostate gland and seminal vesicle glands, and sperm accounts for only 5%.
Ligation only cuts off the way out of sperm, and semen can still flow unimpeded, so it can still ejaculate normally, but the ejaculated semen no longer contains sperm.
3. Where does the sperm go after male ligation?
Some people ask: After the man's ligation, will a steady stream of new sperm be produced? Will it be crowded after a long time?
The answer is: no!
After male ligation, due to the cutting of the transmission pipeline, sperm can not be exported, it is processed by the surrounding macrophages, decomposed, absorbed, self-produced and sold, do not worry about sperm will accumulate more and more to affect the body!
4. Can men stop using contraception immediately after sterilization?
No! It is not possible to say goodbye to condoms immediately after ligation, and although newborn sperm have nowhere to go, sperm stored in seminal vesicles may combine with the egg.
It is necessary to have about 12 weeks after the procedure, or more than 10 sperm drains, to ensure that sperm are not ejaculated again, and the safest way is to go for a semen test 12 weeks after surgery.
A vasectomy is only successful if the semen test confirms that there is no sperm in the semen and the use of additional contraception can be stopped, and some men may need to have 2 tests.
5. Is male ligation carcinogenic?
Although men who have had vasectomy can develop prostate and testicular cancer, studies have shown that vasectomy does not increase the risk of cancer.
6. Can men use IVF to have children after ligation?
If you have undergone a vasectomy and later decide to have a baby, IVF can be used, but IVF is also not always successful and expensive.
7. Can male ligation be reversed?
It can be reversed, but there is no guarantee of 100% success.
If you want to have children again after ligation, you can connect the vas deferens again, but this operation is much more complicated, and its name is "vas deferens-vasectomy", which means that the ends of the severed vas deferens are sewn up again.
This procedure is possible because sperm discharge can theoretically be achieved by restoring the transport of the vas deferens and tubes.
However, in fact, because the vas deferens are very thin, this operation often needs to be done with a microscope (which can enlarge the field of view and allow the doctor to perform a very fine operation), and it is difficult to ensure that it is smooth after being sewn together and to avoid semen leakage.
The odds of success also vary over time, with a success rate of around 55% if reversed within 10 years of vasectomy. If the reversal is made after 10 years, the percentage drops to 25%.
And even if the vas deferens are connected again, due to autoimmune reactions and other reasons, fertility may not be restored, so once you choose ligation, you are prepared to regret it.
Okay, end of the Q&A.
I hope this article can correct everyone's misconception about male ligation surgery!
