Ligation refers to the use of certain surgical methods to ligate some of the human body's pipelines, losing their smooth physiological function, generally in order to avoid childbirth. Of course, ligation is not limited to the human body, and for some animals, these small surgeries are also used to achieve infertility. Some men are afraid of affecting their sexual life because their bodies require ligation surgery. Will ligation affect sexual life? Does ligation affect the body?
Does male ligation have an impact on sexual activity?
Ligation is a permanent contraceptive method. For men, the principle of contraception is equivalent to cutting off the passage of sperm from the testicles to the penis, and cannot discharge semen. This method can achieve contraceptive effects for couples who do not want to have children. However, some people are concerned that not being able to ejaculate may affect sexual activity. Professor Xuan Xujun (expert appointment) from Sun Yat sen Memorial Hospital at Sun Yat sen University stated that male ligation does not affect sexual activity.
Male sexual activity includes several processes such as libido, erection, ejaculation, and pleasure. During sexual activity, it is mainly influenced by hormones produced by the nervous system and testes, and of course, personal psychological control also has a certain impact. Therefore, even if ligation and infertility surgery is performed, the nervous system, testicular endocrine system, and psychological activities will not have adverse effects on sexual life.
But some men clearly feel a decrease in libido after ligation surgery, Professor Xuan Xujun said. This is mainly because patients have doubts about the surgery and believe that they have lost their ability to have sex, which brings a great psychological burden and sexual apathy. This requires men to have a correct and scientific understanding of ligation, not to cause psychological burden on themselves. On the contrary, after undergoing ligation surgery, men and women do not need to worry about fertility issues, and the quality of sexual intercourse will also improve. They should be able to enjoy sex.
Does male ligation have an impact on the body?
In addition to the impact on sexual life, many men are also worried about the impact of ligation on their bodies. In fact, ligation only cuts off the vas deferens, preventing sperm from being transported to the ejaculatory duct. If it is a voluntary ligation contraception, it has no impact on the body and cannot ejaculate sperm outside the body, which will also be automatically absorbed by the body.
In the first two weeks after ligation, a large amount of sperm in the vas deferens is blocked and the lumen expands. Generally, within three weeks, the body automatically balances and the lumen returns to its original state, without any adverse effects on the body.
