Vasectomy, or voluntary male surgical sterilization, is becoming an increasingly popular method of contraception among men every year. Men prefer this method of contraception for completely different reasons: from married men who already have children, to men who have a large number of sexual partners and do not want to have children in principle. Vasectomy is most common in highly developed countries, as well as in those countries where there is a high birth rate, such as China and India. Male surgical sterilization is a safe and affordable method of contraception with virtually no contraindications.
What does ejaculate consist of and how is produced in the male body
Sperm and male sex hormones are produced in a man's body throughout his life. Male sperm or ejaculate consists of spermatozoa, prostate secretion and seminal vesicles. In this case, male sex hormones enter directly into the bloodstream, and the sperm itself passes through the epididymis and through the vas deferens into the urethra. The vas deferens itself is a long tube that runs from the epididymis to the pelvic cavity behind the bladder and is made up of muscle cells. Thus, for successful fertilization on the part of a man, the normal functioning of all the structural units of his reproductive system is necessary.
The essence of the method of male voluntary surgical sterilization
The mechanism behind the voluntary male sterilization method is to remove the vas deferens so that no sperm enters the ejaculate. At the same time, male sex hormones continue to enter the bloodstream and the general hormonal background in the male body is not disturbed. In addition, the appearance of the ejaculate does not change, since only one of its components is excluded - directly spermatozoa. After a vasectomy, the ejaculate consists of prostate secretion and seminal vesicles. Therefore, voluntary surgical sterilization does not affect the actual sexual intercourse and ejaculation in a man, but only changes the characteristics of the ejaculate.
Vasectomy technique and features of the postoperative period
The technique of vasectomy for men is as follows: under local anesthesia, small incisions up to one centimeter long are made on both sides of the scrotum, and the vas deferens is cut out. The postoperative period does not cause discomfort to the man, but requires a restriction of physical activity for several hours after the operation. An important point in the postoperative period is the wearing of thick underwear, which is necessary to maintain the scrotum until it is completely healed. In the postoperative period, infection of the surgical wound can rarely occur, which is manifested by pain, swelling, hyperemia and the appearance of discharge from the wound. This condition requires anti-inflammatory therapy.
Vasectomy is the most effective method of contraception
Thus, voluntary male sterilization is a highly effective method of contraception. Vasectomy is a non-negotiable process, which the patient must be aware of without fail. A vasectomy can only be performed after the patient provides a written agreement for it. After voluntary male sterilization, complete removal of sperm from the body is possible only at 12-20 ejaculations, which should be taken into account before resuming sexual life. The voluntary surgical sterilization method is an effective and harmless method of contraception that assists men in good family planning.
