Patient's question:
What is male sterilization surgery and does it affect sexual life? Can you not ejaculate anymore?Doctor's answer:
A vasectomy is a permanent form of contraception. The contraceptive principle involves cutting the vas deferens, which transports sperm from the testicles to the penis, preventing sperm from entering the semen and being expelled from the body. This permanent method of contraception is only suitable for couples who do not wish to have more children.After a vasectomy, men do not immediately achieve permanent contraception. Therefore, other reliable contraceptive measures must be used post-surgery until two semen analyses confirm the complete absence of sperm, at which point contraceptive measures can be discontinued. In very rare cases, the vas deferens may reopen, restoring fertility. Generally, minor complications caused by the surgery include wound swelling and pain.
