    Male sterilization is a more popular method of contraception nowadays. This type of surgery causes relatively little trauma to men and can be easily performed in just over ten minutes after anesthesia. Therefore, it is more convenient than female sterilization. Men who are not preparing for pregnancy can choose ligation surgery. So, does ligation hurt for boys? If a man wants to have a baby, can a ligation be repaired for a man?

    The most common vasectomy for men is vasectomy. The basic principle of contraception is to disconnect the ejaculatory duct that transports sperm from the testicles to the male genitals, so that sperm cannot enter the semen and be eliminated from the body. However, after men undergo vasectomy, it will not have a permanent contraceptive effect immediately. Therefore, other reliable contraceptive methods must be used after surgery. Contraceptive methods cannot be given up until two sperm tests have confirmed the existence of complete azoospermia.

    It should be noted that although the surgical scope of male sterilization is small, limited to the local area, and will not have any impact on the whole body, it is still necessary to conduct a physical examination before surgery. As long as the person agrees to undergo surgery and does not suffer from acute systemic diseases or inflammation of the male reproductive organs, surgery can generally be performed. Before surgery, you should learn more about whether you have a drug-sensitive constitution.

    In addition, we should also pay attention to the fact that after male ligation surgery, a small piece of black and blue skin around the vaginal wound does not require medical attention. If the scrotum is swollen, the skin appears purple or bleeds, etc., treatment should be taken immediately. Couples should not have sexual intercourse within two weeks after the surgery, pay attention to rest, avoid heavy physical work and excessive exercise, and need to take contraceptive measures again for 3 months after the surgery.

    Is ligation painful for boys?

    Male ligation surgery uses anesthesia, so you will not feel too much pain during the surgery. After the ligation surgery, it will not affect your normal life, nor will it affect male sexual function. You don't need to worry too much. After male sterilization surgery, the probability of recanalization is low, so you must think carefully and make sure that there is no requirement for another pregnancy before proceeding with surgical treatment.

    Can a vasectomy be repaired?

    In fact, if you want to restore your fertility, you can go to the hospital for ejaculatory duct recanalization. Ejaculatory duct recanalization is a method of reconnecting the ejaculatory duct after the ejaculatory duct has been blocked, and repairing the passage for sperm discharge. There are two types of surgical methods: ejaculatory duct resection and ejaculatory duct epididymal cyst resection.

    However, limited by a person's physical fitness and the length of the vasectomy, not everyone can successfully restore fertility. Therefore, ejaculatory duct recanalization is not completely reversible for vasectomy. However, its success rate is also very high. Basically 95% of people can restore their fertility function through ejaculatory duct recanalization surgery.

    Is ligation painful for men? Can men recover from ligation? Based on the above introduction, I believe that male friends have a certain knowledge of these aspects! Although ligation surgery does not cause much harm to men, it is worth reminding that before deciding to have ligation surgery, you must make sure that you are no longer pregnant. Because of ligation surgery, it is more difficult to get pregnant. This is an issue that male friends should pay attention to.
