Is it better for men or women to undergo ligation? Can I have another child after ligation
If there is currently no pregnancy plan, certain contraceptive measures should be taken during sexual intercourse. There are many effective and safe contraceptive methods, such as oral short acting contraceptives, long acting contraceptives, Contraceptive vaginal ring, emergency contraceptives, condoms, etc. Ligation is also one of the commonly used contraceptive methods, but many people are concerned about whether they can still have children after ligation, and they do not know whether it is better for men or women to undergo ligation. Let's learn together now!
What's wrong with men and women undergoing ligation?
Ligation is a clinical means of preventing contraception, which refers to the use of Catgut to tie the human Vas deferens, oviducts, etc. Female ligation is also called Tubal ligation. Its contraceptive principle is to close the oviduct channel so that the egg cannot be combined with the sperm, so as to achieve the purpose of contraception. The male ligation operation is to cut off the Vas deferens, which transports sperm from the testes to the penis, so that sperm cannot enter the semen and be excluded from the body.
Is it better for men or women to undergo ligation?
Professor Xu Min, a young and famous doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and Chief physician of gynecology in Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that it was impossible to say that men were well ligated or women were well ligated. The surgical damage of male ligation is smaller than that of female. For women, Tubal ligation used to require laparotomy to anastomose and ligate the ends of the fallopian tubes. With the application of endoscopic technology, a tubal ligation can also be performed under laparoscopy, or a fetal clamp can be used to clamp the fallopian tube to achieve this ligation effect. So, I didn't say which one was better, it's just that the complexity of the surgery varies.
Can male ligation affect sexual function?
For men, ligation is to block the Vas deferens, while for women, it is to block the fallopian tube so that it can not discharge sperm and follicles normally. For men, ligation of the Vas deferens is relatively easier, because the Vas deferens are under the scrotum, shallow and easy to operate. But although the fallopian tube is in the attachment position, the operation is also minimally invasive, and the wound is small and easy to recover. After male and female ligation surgery, it will not affect sexual function or normal life, "said Dr. Zhang Jing from the Department of Gynecology at Shandong Provincial Hospital.
Can children still be born after ligation?
Li Fengrong, Chief physician of the Reproductive Hospital affiliated to Sichuan Reproductive Health Research Center, said that women who want to have children after ligation can choose to have Tubal ligation and recanalization. Pregnancy is a complex physiological process. It requires that the sperm and eggs meet to form a Zygote, which is finally implanted in the uterine cavity. In addition to normal sperm, eggs and proper uterine inner ring, it is also an important link in the process of pregnancy to enable sperm and eggs to meet and be transported to the uterine cavity smoothly. After ligation, if sperm and eggs cannot combine, they cannot conceive. If a woman wants to conceive again after ligation, she needs to undergo a tubal recanalization surgery, and still can conceive.
