That’s what I wish to say to the blokes. I’m not attempting to be a feminine chauvinist right here, however actually, when in involves contraception strategies, having guys to do vasectomy is quite a bit higher in comparison with females doing ligation. I imply, I already undergo 4 x 9 months of being pregnant and confinement, for a man doing a minor
Earlier than I’m going into the small print on my husband’s process, let’s have some concepts on what’s vasectomy and ligation are all about.
Male Vasectomy VS Feminine Ligation
Each are everlasting strategies. Feminine ligation is a surgical process the place a lady fallopian tubes are closed or blocked. This prevents the eggs from touring to the uterus and fertilised by sperm. As for the male vasectomy, is a process by slicing or blockading the tubes that carry sperm.
The Surgical procedure.
Feminine ligation requires to be normally anesthesia, whereas vasectomy will be completed on native anesthesia.
Ligation is finished by making a lower at on the stomach, discover the tube and shut it up. As for vasectomy, the surgeon simply have to make a small gap within the scrotum, lower and tie off the vasa deferens and since the outlet is so small, it might simply heal naturally.
The Danger.
Actually, given the treatment expertise these days, each procedures are very secure. However as a result of ligation includes basic anaesthesia and the lower is way larger than vasectomy, the restoration interval shall be longer. After ligation, some girl could expertise menopause like signs like scorching flashes, dry vagina, temper swings, having hassle sleeping, decrease intercourse drives and irregular interval. Ligation additionally has the next danger of being pregnant that happens outdoors the uterus (etopic being pregnant), due to incomplete closure of fallopian tubes.
Value
The price of vasectomy is certainly way more reasonably priced examine to ligation. In Singapore, for vasectomy, it might value from $200 to $3000 and ligation can value from $1000 to $14000.
My Hubby’s Vasectomy Journey
After Jia He (4th little one) is born, I casually mentioned with hubby about contraception and requested him to do vasectomy as a substitute of me doing ligation. He stated he’ll take into account it and to my shock he really went to the Polyclinic to get a referral letter (subsidy route) to do vasectomy.
For personal, you simply select an urologist and repair a session.
He waited for a couple of month and obtained an appointment in NUH.
Through the session, the physician requested concerning the motive for doing and did a primary physique test. It’s a really quick session and the physician will ask questions on your loved ones and why he needs to do it. He was then informed to attend for his surgical procedure date.
His surgical procedure date was organized only a month later after his session!
The Day Of His Surgical procedure
It’s a easy day surgical procedure process. The surgical procedure took about 30-45mins and about an hour within the remark room. So in whole, I waited about 2hours on the ready space for him.
The restoration time for the surgical procedure is lower than every week. Simply have to keep away from sports activities or heavy lifting / work for every week. Intercourse is okay to proceed after every week. By the way in which, there could also be sperm within the semen even after vasectomy, so proceed to make use of different contraception strategies.
Earlier than the put up operation appointment, which is 3-4 months later, he must do about 12-15 ejaculations to make sure his semen pattern is freed from sperm. Then he shall be absolutely discharged from his surgical procedure.

Verdict
The danger and downtime is admittedly low to minimal, so I don’t see any causes for the blokes not doing it if each of you’re contemplating about contraception or cease having child(s). It doesn’t have an effect on their sexuality operate, or testosterone manufacturing. Their erections and climax will nonetheless be the identical. The one distinction is the semen will not have any sperm. In actual fact, it makes our sexual life extra satisfying with out worrying about being pregnant.
So talk about together with your different half and physician in the event you guys are contemplating it. Be happy to remark beneath or DM on my social media account if you wish to discover out extra!
