Married life sublimates thanks to… sterilization
< /p>
Ms. Hoa Mai (Ha Dong district, Hanoi) has given birth to 2 children, boys and girls, but still “sticks” to pregnancy 2 or 3 times a year. Because using birth control pills doesn’t work, my husband uses condoms and is allergic… so we have to calculate safe days to have sex. But they still broke their plans as usual.
As a knowledgeable teacher, Ms. Mai’s husband proposed to his wife that he be sterilized. Just hearing her husband talk about sterilization, Mai said: “Are you crazy? Being such a handsome man, you want to become a eunuch…”.
Husband Ms. Mai printed out many documents about sterilization for her wife to see. And to give his wife absolute peace of mind, he even invited her to see a male doctor for advice. After that, Ms. Mai agreed to let her husband be sterilized. Since then, Ms. Mai and her husband have had a more passionate sex life because they don’t have to worry about “getting pregnant”.
It’s very easy to get pregnant after having two cesarean sections and then get pregnant again. With heart disease, Ms. Bich Tram (Dong Anh, Hanoi) was advised by a doctor that her husband should be sterilized. After much hesitation, she decided to talk to her husband. As soon as her husband heard what his wife said, he denied it because he thought that sterilization would ruin it completely. Ms. Tram persistently explained to her husband and showed him online articles about male sterilization, and gradually he heard about it.
Ms. Tram said: “I told him that doing it was because he loved his wife and children. He didn’t know how hard it was to be pregnant. Every time he unfortunately got pregnant, he had to go through treatment, which greatly affected his health… He finally accepted. After more than 2 years of sterilization, I no longer have to worry about getting pregnant every time I sleep with my husband…”.
While there are many women who encourage their husbands to get sterilized, they still There are many women who strongly oppose their husband’s sterilization. Some women have their husband volunteer to be sterilized to take care of their wife’s contraceptive concerns, but the wife threatens to divorce her mistress… so she wanted to get “castrated” to avoid the consequences of having an abandoned child….
On the contrary, many women volunteered to do it on behalf of their husband. Sai Son Hanoi) is always pregnant every month when the “red light” comes late. She has had 3 children and 4 abortions, but when she had an IUD, she had menorrhagia, and when she took birth control pills, her husband had menstrual disorders and gained weight. She doesn’t actively use condoms, so she wants to be sterilized. Talking to her husband, he objected, but she still hid her tubal ligation from him. “It feels like the mental burden has been lifted and I can comfortably sleep with my husband as confidently as when I first got married.” the voice “who loves”… is a myth
Currently sterilization (tubal ligation in women and vasectomy in men) is one of the safe and effective contraceptive method. However, many people still misunderstand this method.
Female sterilization is a permanent method of contraception by ligation of the fallopian tubes. Eggs are born in a woman’s ovaries. Each month, an egg is normally released and then passes through a fallopian tube into the uterus. Ligation of the fallopian tubes blocks the path of the egg. The egg is still released but cannot enter the uterus and meet sperm there, so women will not be able to get pregnant. This case is similar to some women with blocked fallopian tubes.
With male sterilization, the procedure is much simpler. Master Nguyen Hoai Bac – Andrology Center of Viet Duc Hospital – said that vasectomy is easy to perform safely and has no side effects, but very few men choose it because many people still misunderstand that it This causes them to lose sexual ability or have their gender changed. A vasectomy essentially blocks the path of sperm from the testicles to the seminal vesicles. During sexual intercourse, semen is still emitted normally, but there are no sperm, so the wife cannot conceive. The number of non-moving sperm stagnates in the epididymal seminiferous tubule and partly under the vas deferens and then disappears on its own.
Doctor Hoai Bac also confirmed that Male sterilization and female sterilization do not change hormones in the body. Therefore, sterilized people do not have reduced libido as many people mistakenly believe. Some couples said that after sterilization they felt even more excited because they did not have to worry about unwanted pregnancies.
However, according to the warning of Before performing contraceptive sterilization for both men and women, couples need to consider carefully because reattachment surgeries are both complicated and expensive and have a low likelihood of success. There have been cases where after a period of sterilization, they want to have more children because the child died and married another spouse… but fertility cannot be restored. Therefore, only when you are sure you do not want to have children anymore or are not compatible with other contraceptive methods and your health will be threatened if you become pregnant… should you be sterilized.
Sterilization is still popular around the world
Currently, permanent birth control by male or female sterilization is still a form of birth control. Popular for couples of childbearing age. It is estimated that around 230 million couples in the world use sterilization each year, of which more than 80% are women. Permanent contraception is the most widely used method in the two countries with the largest populations. 40% of the world’s population is China and India. In highly developed and less developed countries such as North America, South America, Australia… sterilization is still chosen by many people. This is a permanent birth control method that is very effective in preventing pregnancy, has a simple and safe procedure, and therefore does not affect the health or psychology of women or men.

Another sterilization method for women That is the Essure method. Essure can be performed within 30 minutes and requires only local anesthesia. The doctor will use a special instrument called a hysteroscope to pass through the vagina and cervix to the connection between the fallopian tube and the uterus. A microscopic stopper will be placed in this position for 3 months. The tissue around the stopper will form and completely block the fallopian tube, preventing sperm from reaching the egg. During these 3 months, you need to use another method of birth control. And after 3 months, it is necessary to have a hysterectomy with contrast to ensure that the 2 fallopian tubes are completely blocked. Essure may cause mild to moderate abdominal pain immediately after it is placed. You can return to normal activities within 1-2 days. The advantage of this method compared to tubal ligation is that it reduces the risk of ectopic pregnancy. |
