Can male ligation surgery affect sexual activity? What are the effects of ligation surgery

Can a man still have sex after being ligated?

Male ligation does not affect sexual activity! In fact, men think too much. After undergoing a ligation surgery, they can still ejaculate, but there is no sperm in the semen, which does not affect orgasm.

Male ligation surgery is a permanent contraceptive method. The principle of contraception is to cut off the vas deferens that transport sperm from the testicles to the penis. Sperm cannot enter the semen and be expelled from the body. This permanent contraception is only applicable to couples who do not want to have children again But many patients believe that this type of ligation can affect orgasmic ejaculation. Worried about sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and impotence after vasectomy, even the appearance of being male or female is unnecessary. Some men are worried that women may become pregnant before sterilization, and may feel anxious during sexual intercourse, resulting in poor sexual performance. After sterilization, the mental burden is gone, and sexual desire is stronger than in the past.

Some people are also concerned that after ligation of the vas deferens, ejaculation will not occur, which affects sexual pleasure, which is also unnecessary. Because semen is a mixture of sperm and seminal plasma, 98% of the total volume is secreted by the prostate, seminal vesicles, urethral glands, etc. After ligation of the vas deferens, only the channel for sperm leakage is cut off, while the plasma output is still unobstructed.

2. What is ligation?

Ligation refers to certain channels in the human body or organism (such as blood vessels, vas deferens, fallopian tubes, etc.) Use some means (such as catgut) to bind or play the same role. Ligation is usually considered as a minor operation, especially the ligation of vas deferens. The early stage of these operations is a permanent contraceptive operation, but the current medicine has been able to implement vas deferens and fallopian tubes.

3. The Historical Development of Ligation

The tubal ligation has been widely carried out in China for 40 years. At present, the commonly used methods in China are partial excision and ligation of the mesosalpinx (including proximal and bilateral embedding methods), double fold ligation and resection of the fallopian tube, tubal buckling ligation and fimbriae of uterine tube resection. The tubal ligation operation passes through the abdomen, vaginal vault and groin. At present, abdominal surgery is advocated. With the advancement of skilled surgical techniques and updated surgical instruments, the abdominal incision has been significantly reduced, the surgical time has been significantly shortened, and the irritation of the equipment has also been reduced. The silver clip of the fallopian tube has been developed in many regions, and the titanium clip can also achieve the goal of blocking the fallopian tube cavity.

4. The impact of ligation surgery on women

a. After general ligation surgery, menstrual bleeding increases, irregular bleeding during menstruation, marital life problems, emotional instability, premenstrual symptoms, etc., all of which are the hazards of female ligation surgery.

b. During ligation surgery, the blood vessels entering the ovaries may be damaged, and the hormones stimulating the ovaries by the pituitary gland may decrease. Therefore, abnormal ovarian work may occur, which can cause harm to women undergoing ligation surgery.

c. If you don't really want to undergo ligation surgery, or if you don't think too much when you're young, experts say that after ligation surgery, the chances of problems may really be higher.

d. Some statistics indicate that due to some gynecological issues, the probability of needing to remove the uterus after ligation surgery is higher than that of the general population.

5. The impact of ligation on men

a. Unsuitable population: ① Patients with coagulation disorders or bleeding tendencies should not undergo surgery to avoid bleeding or hematoma. ② Patients with chronic inflammation of the reproductive tract should be cured before surgery to reduce the occurrence of postoperative infections.

b. Preoperative cleaning and surgical field skin disinfection, as well as strict aseptic procedures, can effectively reduce the infection rate and tissue adhesion caused by infection.

c. Familiar with the local anatomy of the scrotum and testicles. For example, there are abundant venous plexus in the scrotum and spermatic cord, local tissue is loose, and intraoperative vascular damage or incomplete hemostasis can cause bleeding, which is prone to secondary infection.

d. Stay in bed for at least 2 hours after surgery, and avoid heavy physical labor, vigorous exercise, or sexual activity within 2 weeks.
