Men take on the role of… contraception

Various methods of contraception for men

Doctor Ha Ngoc Manh – head of the department of andrology – Vietnam Belgian Hospital of Infertility – said that many couples, when they have given birth to 2-3 children, often go to the hospital to find birth control methods for women˳ male˳

In an increasingly modern society, contraception for both men and women has been improved without affecting sex life˳

Currently, men can use contraceptive methods such as using condoms, vasectomy, external ejaculation, no ejaculation …

However, external ejaculation or no ejaculation is not highly effective˳

In contrast, a vasectomy or condom use can be highly effective˳

Doctors from Tu Du Hospital (HCMC) added that the vas deferens is very small (2mm in diameter, 0˳5mm in diameter) located in the spermatic cord, which can be palpable in the lower and outer parts of the base of the penis˳ ˳

The vas deferens are responsible for carrying sperm from the testicles into the seminal vesicles, which are ejaculated during intercourse to enter the female reproductive tract˳

A vasectomy is a procedure that blocks the passage of sperm, making it impossible to conceive because sperm cannot reach an egg˳

This is the most effective method of all modern contraceptive methods˳ The failure rate is about 0˳02-0˳2%, which means that out of every 1,000 men who have a vasectomy, only 2 will fail at most˳

Vasectomy to prevent pregnancy does not affect sex

Manh added, after having a vasectomy, men can still reach orgasm and ejaculate normally during sexual intercourse˳ Only a small fraction of the semen produced by the vas deferens on the testis side is not ejaculated˳

The amount of semen produced by the upper part of the vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and prostate gland is still produced and stored in the seminal vesicles˳ Therefore, a person who has had a vasectomy still has ejaculation when reaching orgasm, but only dilute semen without sperm˳

In case after a vasectomy but still want to have children, doctors can use a very simple procedure so that men can still have children˳

“A vasectomy is a safe procedure, has few complications and does not affect the sexual desire, excitement, and erection problems in the couple’s sexual activity˳

Men can have a vasectomy when they have had enough children and their health is completely normal,” added Dr˳

However, some men need to be cautious before performing vasectomy when they have problems with acute or chronic infections of the genital organs, varicocele, testicular trauma, etc˳

Besides, vasectomy will limit some complications of urinary tract infections in the testicles˳

Dr˳ Manh recommends that people who want to find contraception in men need to seek medical facilities with ornithology, skilled and licensed doctors to ensure safety˳
