Uterine artery ligation in women

Now, due to the implementation of family planning, many families start using contraception after having their first child. Generally, girls get IUDs for contraception. Because it seems that this is the most effective and quickest method of contraception that everyone agrees on. However, it is also possible for men, and sterilization is also an effective contraceptive method. But did you know that there is also a procedure called uterine artery ligation in women? I've never heard of it before. I only know that the girl had an IUD installed, but I know nothing about her sterilization surgery. I wonder if you know something?

Ligation refers to the use of certain means (such as catgut) to tie up certain tubes of the human body or organism (such as blood vessels, vas deferens, fallopian tubes, etc.) or to achieve the same effect. "Ligation" is generally considered a minor operation. Sometimes, "vasectomy" is used to refer specifically to vasectomy, which was originally a permanent and irreversible contraceptive procedure, but now medicine has made it possible to perform vasectomy reversal and fallopian tube reversal.

Women should avoid having sterilization surgery during the menstrual period to prevent infection. It is recommended to listen to the doctor.

Suggestions:

The best time for female sterilization surgery:

1. During the non-pregnant period, female sterilization surgery should be performed within 3-7 days after the menstruation is completely over.

2. Surgery can be performed immediately after early or late artificial abortion, but surgery is not recommended within one month after spontaneous abortion or delayed abortion. For women with intrauterine devices, the device should be removed before sterilization.

3. For those who give birth naturally in the hospital during the postpartum period, the general condition is good and the surgery can be performed 6 hours after delivery; for those who give birth naturally outside the hospital, they need to be hospitalized for observation for 1-2 days and the surgery can be performed only if the condition is normal. For those with difficult labor, they need to be hospitalized for observation for 4-5 days and the surgery can be performed only if there are no special circumstances.

4. During the lactation period, the operation can be performed within 3-7 days after the menstruation resumes. For women whose menstruation has not resumed, the sterilization operation can be performed on any day, but pregnancy must be ruled out.

5. Cesarean section. Patients who undergo other gynecological surgeries can also undergo tubal ligation at the same time.

process:

1. The patient lies on his back with his lower limbs slightly apart.

2. The doctor uses his left thumb, index finger and middle finger to fix the vas deferens on the right side of the patient, open the patient's scrotal skin and push open the spermatic cord vessels. Ligate one side first, then the other side. During this process, the doctor is required to fix the vas deferens with his fingers to prevent it from slipping.

3. The puncture site during the operation is selected at the upper part of both sides of the scrotum. Use a fine needle to puncture the scrotal skin and inject procaine solution.

4. Use vas deferens separator forceps to enlarge the puncture hole.

5. To fix the vas deferens, insert the vas deferens fixing forceps into the skin tear, open the clamp ring, and with the cooperation of the middle finger of the left hand, push the vas deferens into the clamp ring and fasten it.

6. Lift the vas deferens out of the fissure to expose the milky white wall of the vas deferens. Use the vas deferens lifting hook to lift the vas deferens out of the adventitia incision.

7. Separate a 1.5 cm long section of the vas deferens and tie it off with appropriate tightness.

8. Use phenylmercuric acetate to slowly inject spermicidal solution, at which time the patient will feel like urinating.

9. Ligate the distal end of the vas deferens, hold the hemostat to fold the proximal (or distal) end of the vas deferens, and use the proximal (or distal) ligature to ligature again at the folded part.

10. If there is no bleeding after examination, cut the ligature short and return the vas deferens to the scrotum. Cover the puncture site with a small gauze pad.

Remember, any surgery has risks. No matter it is a major operation or a minor operation, no one can guarantee that the operation will be 100% successful, so I still think it is best not to have surgery. Of course, if you have surgery, you must pay attention to post-operative care. Don't take it lightly because you think it is a minor operation or you don't feel too much discomfort. After any surgery, you need to take good care of yourself.
