Male ligation, which involves the ligation of a portion of the vas deferens, can prevent the entry of the vagina and achieve contraceptive effects. However, some men are concerned that it may affect their sexual ability to refuse.
Can male ligation affect sexual ability?
Everyone knows that sexual behavior is mainly influenced by the endocrine and nervous systems. Male ligation only cuts off a portion of the vas deferens and has almost no effect on male hormones, so it does not affect normal performance. Ligation, which involves ligating both sides of the vas deferens and then cutting them off to prevent semen from binding to sperm. However, in order to prevent contraction of the scrotum and rupture of the wound, sexual intercourse is not allowed for 2 weeks after ligation.
After male ligation, it is necessary to observe in the hospital for about 2 hours. If there are no abnormalities, one can go home and rest, and must stay in bed for about 1 week. Within 8 hours after surgery, the local area should be cooled to achieve the effect of reducing swelling and pain. In addition, after ligation, the local area should be kept clean and dry to prevent wound contamination, and sexual activity should be avoided for two weeks.
What do men need to prepare before ligation?
1. Comprehensive inspection
A series of problems and postoperative complications may occur during surgery, which can eliminate unnecessary mental burden. In addition, it is necessary to honestly inform the doctor of one's medical history before ligation. Especially those suffering from diabetes, heart disease and hypertension must tell the doctor in advance to prevent risks and complications during the operation. In addition, a comprehensive examination must be conducted before surgery, and adjustments must be made based on male physical examination to ensure that the body is in optimal condition.
2. Empty urine
Before undergoing ligation, males must empty their bladder, especially paying attention to the presence of pathological residual urine, in order to determine whether catheterization surgery is necessary. In addition, before surgery, one should take a hot bath to keep the scrotum and groin clean and hygienic, to prevent infection of the wound. The skin of the scrotum has many wrinkles and poor air circulation, which can easily leave the area in a damp state and breed a large number of bacteria, leading to infection.
Warm reminder
Men who undergo ligation surgery cannot conceive again, so careful consideration must be given before examination. Ligation surgery for men is very simple and does not harm tissues, blood vessels, or other organs. In addition, the ligation wound is only around 0.2 centimeters, and the wound is relatively small and will not enter the abdominal cavity, nor will there be any bleeding or pain issues. Avoid sexual activity within one week of the ligation surgery. Because orgasm during sexual activity may cause pain.
