Do you know what contraceptive methods men have? Common contraceptive methods include the use of contraceptives, condoms, contraceptive films, safe period contraception, extracorporeal ejaculation contraception, compressed urethral contraception, surgical contraception, and so on. So what contraceptive measures do men have? The editor will answer for you.
There are two methods of contraception for men: one is temporary, which means that after stopping contraception, they still have the ability to conceive; The other is permanent, which means that the ability to reproduce can never be restored from now on.
At present, we are still unable to prepare oral contraceptives for men. This is because the various chemical process of human sperm production are too complex to find an effective method to control.
There are currently two main temporary methods of male contraception: the cessation of sexual intercourse method and the use of a condom, also known as the condom method. As for the permanent method of contraception, it is salpingectomy.
Abortion method: During sexual intercourse, when the sperm is about to ejaculate, the penis is quickly pulled out of the vagina and ejaculated outside the vagina, preventing the sperm from having a chance to meet the egg. This was a method commonly used by people before the invention of oral contraceptives for women; Men who use this method have a high degree of self-control. Because usually men hope to keep their penis in the vagina for a longer period of time, making it more comfortable in terms of sexual appeal. Sometimes, although the penis has been rapidly withdrawn, there is still some sperm that has been ejaculated into the vagina, so there is no contraceptive effect. In addition, pulling out the penis during sexual intercourse is always a disadvantage for both men and women in terms of sexual appeal, so it is advisable to use other more effective contraceptive methods as much as possible.
Penile condom: This is a contraceptive method that involves placing a thin and resilient transparent circular condom over the penis, which prevents sperm from entering the vagina without affecting sexual activity. This penis sheath is a very thin transparent round sheath made of lotion rubber. The main function of a penis sheath is to prevent the female partner from getting pregnant. A small drawback of using a penis condom is that during sexual intercourse, both parties need to stop for a while and have the man put the condom on, thereby reducing sexual pleasure. If the procedure of installing a condom can be considered as part of sexual caressing and the woman can cover it on her behalf, this small problem can be solved.
There are many benefits to using a penis sleeve: firstly, it is easy to use and carry. Modern penile sleeves are coated with lubricant and individually wrapped in aluminum paper, which can be kept for a long time. When using, simply place it on the head of the penis and gently pull it up. When installing the device, it is important to pay attention to the condom flowing into the vagina. Due to this concern, it is best for the woman to also apply a contraceptive method to the vagina. Both men and women can be with them at any time. Thirdly, there are no adverse side effects, as this is a physical action that prevents sperm from entering the uterus and is not related to any hormonal chemical reactions. Some people believe that wearing a condom will affect the pleasure of sexual intercourse, which is not true. In fact, many people do not feel the existence of penile condoms when using them. Moreover, penile condoms are cheap and easy to purchase, which is bound to gradually become popular.
After completing this surgery, men can immediately engage in sexual intercourse, but it is best to continue using other contraceptive methods for a short period of time until they have undergone twelve ejaculations before obtaining contraceptive insurance. This is because after preventive surgery, there are still some sperm hidden in the prostate, and during the first few sexual intercourse, there is still a possibility of ejaculating sperm. Perhaps some people may ask, where will the sperm produced by the testicles go after the surgery? There is no need to worry about this, because soon the testicles will no longer produce sperm.
Research on the impact of vasectomy surgery on sexual behavior has pointed out; About 70% of men believe that surgery is actually helpful for sexual life; 2% of people believe that there are adverse reactions; The rest felt no significant change.
Selection of male contraceptive methods
Condoms are not unfamiliar to most men with this small rubber sleeve. Although small condoms may make some people feel 'not satisfying', they are currently the most widely used contraceptive tool. Due to improper use, condoms are sometimes unsafe. Moreover, there are some low-quality condoms in China that do not meet the standards. Therefore, it is important to be very careful when choosing them. The advantage of this method is that it has almost no side effects on both spouses, can safely conceive at any time, and can also prevent the spread of diseases. It is the first choice recommended by doctors.
condom
Insufficient: The effective contraceptive rate is around 90%. A few men who are allergic to rubber and their wives cannot use it.
Medicinal drugs are divided into two types: oral drugs and injectable drugs.
medicine
Gossypol: Gossypol is the representative of oral male contraceptive drugs and the only drug ever used in clinical practice. Because this chemical extracted from ordinary cottonseed has a strong inhibitory effect on sperm production, scientists have been paying close attention to the contraceptive effect of gossypol for over half a century.
Insufficient: It has many side effects, such as the tendency of users to experience symptoms of hypokalemia and systemic paralysis, temporarily losing their ability to work. The most serious side effect is that the user may lose fertility as a result. Experts do not recommend using it.
Eleven Testosterone Injection: This injection has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is known as "one dose per month for contraception". However, it is currently undergoing multicenter phase III clinical trials worldwide and has not been successfully developed. After male injection of the drug, the contraceptive rate of yellow people reached over 90%, while white people only had about 60%.
Insufficient: Injecting this drug does not immediately take effect. Inject once a month for three consecutive months to achieve contraceptive effect, with a contraceptive rate of over 90% for yellow people.
Currently, there are three types of contraceptive procedures that can be used: vas deferens ligation, vas deferens blockage, and non obstructive vas deferens device. The latter two surgeries are based on traditional ligation techniques.
operation
Surgery, which is always associated with trauma and pain, may sound terrifying. However, the entire process of birth control surgery is only 20 minutes, without stitches, and the recovery time is only two days. There are almost no scars after the surgery, and its trauma is small and recovery is faster than many people imagine.
Vasectomy: Truncation of the vas deferens, which serves as a conduit for sperm transport, undoubtedly prevents pregnancy. The starting ends of the two vas deferens are located inside the scrotum, which can be felt and pulled to the skin of the scrotum from outside. Therefore, doctors only need to pierce a small hole the size of a rice grain on the scrotum and cut the vas deferens to achieve contraceptive effect.
Many people are worried that after cutting off the vas deferens, there will be no ejaculation or much less semen? No. On average, men ejaculate about 2ml of semen each time, of which seminal vesicle glandular fluid and prostatic fluid account for more than 90% of the volume of semen, and this part will still be ejaculated. After ligation, only epididymal fluid and sperm, which account for less than 10% of the volume of semen, are blocked, so the amount of semen will not be affected much. When pregnancy is necessary, vas deferens anastomosis can be performed, and the recanalization rate can reach over 90%.
Insufficient: Some men may experience epididymal stasis and discomfort after surgery.
The difference between this method and ligation is that it does not require cutting the vas deferens, but rather injects a specially made material (mainly composed of carbolic acid) into the vas deferens, causing the vas deferens to be stimulated and form scars and sclerosis, thereby losing channel function.
Vasectomy for blockage of vas deferens
Shortcomings: Due to the difficulty in controlling the amount of injection material, some people's vas deferens are stuck for too long, resulting in needle like discomfort at the surgical site. This method has been abandoned by the vast majority of clinical doctors.
The scientific name of the "male intrauterine device" technique, a non obstructive vas deferens device, is the non obstructive vas deferens device. This method involves placing a special material (nylon material) filter inside the male vas deferens to intercept sperm and achieve contraceptive purposes. When contraception is not needed, the filter can be removed to restore normal fertility function. One of the benefits of this surgery is that it avoids the possibility of epididymitis that may occur after traditional ligation surgery. Currently undergoing Phase III clinical validation.
