Vasectomy is actually a sterilization method applied for family planning. In short, the purpose of this application is to prevent sperm from entering the urethra and thus to prevent pregnancy from occurring.
Experts say that this method provides close to one hundred percent success for birth control. With this application, we would like to remind you of the fact that while the exit point of the sperms is closed, the testicles continue to produce sperm biologically. So, where do these sperm stay or go after the application? Let’s have a look.
This procedure is a surgical method applied by cutting the sperm ducts.
12 weeks after the application, all sperm are cleaned and sterilized. The testicles continue to work after the surgery.
However, after the surgical procedure, the sperm coming from the penis is in the form of liquid, that is, it is not capable of causing fertilization. This birth control method applied to men is not in a structure that disrupts the hormonal balance. During sexual intercourse, the feeling of pleasure is not lost in any way. In short, this is a method preferred by couples who love each other but do not want children.
When there is no ejaculation, the remaining sperm are reabsorbed by the testicles.
In fact, we can say that the testicles work with the recycling system. Because the testicles are capable of producing about 300 million sperm cells per day. That’s the equivalent of 12.5 million per hour. However, experts say that the number of sperm produced will be in balance, as the testis separates the sperm that cannot be expelled into their cells and makes them reabsorbable.
Let’s say because of the inability to ejaculate due to a vasectomy, too much sperm has accumulated outside of the surgically ligated sperm ducts. If this bothers the person, these sperm can be emptied with the help of a specialist.
