A man’s ligation usually refers to a male vasectomy. The benefits are that it provides male contraception and there are generally no significant disadvantages, but possible postoperative problems include nodule formation, epididymal stasis and epididymitis, sexual dysfunction, and reproduction.
1.Benefits.
Male vasectomy is a form of male contraception, which enables the sexual partner to avoid taking birth control pills for a long period of time. Its male ligation has a higher success rate, a more stable safety profile, and a faster recovery after the procedure. For men who have a need for contraception, ligation can be chosen to prevent pregnancy.
2. Possible postoperative problems include.
(1) Nodule formation: due to the tissue reaction caused by surgical trauma, sometimes small nodules will form locally, and you may feel mild discomfort after labor, which usually can be gradually recovered in 1~2 months after surgery.
(2) Epididymal stasis and epididymitis: a very small number of patients may have symptoms of epididymal stasis and epididymitis after surgery. In severe cases, epididymectomy may be considered.
(3) Sexual dysfunction: mostly due to mental factors.
(4) Reproduction: after male vasectomy, the sperms remaining in the seminal vesicles can still survive for several weeks or even months, so there is a possibility of reproduction within a short period of time after the operation.
It is recommended that men who need to undergo vasectomy should take into account their own situation and personal needs, and ask their doctors for advice in time, so as to avoid delays and adverse effects on their health.
