How much does a female vasectomy cost?

The cost of female sterilization surgery is determined according to the local hospital standards. Female sterilization surgery is mostly used for families who will not get pregnant again. The operation has little trauma, low cost, and does not require hospitalization. The vast majority of women who undergo sterilization surgery are over 35-40 years old. Female sterilization is a permanent contraceptive surgical treatment. It is inevitable. It is a one-time surgical treatment and a permanent contraceptive measure. So, how much does female vasectomy cost?

How much does a female vasectomy cost?

The cost of female sterilization surgery is not cheap and can be afforded by most families, but the actual cost depends on factors such as the woman's physical condition, the location of the surgery, and the level of the hospital.

1. Regional differences affect treatment costs. The country has macroeconomic policies on the charging standards and regulations of medical institutions, and each region will make corresponding adjustments based on the actual local economic development situation. Therefore, even if the same ligation surgery method is chosen, the cost charged in different regions will be different.

2. The surgical methods of ligation surgery are different. At present, the common ligation surgical methods in China include bilateral tubal partial removal and ligation by cutting the mesentery (including distal and bilateral entrapment), bilateral double tubal fold ligation, bilateral tubal compression ligation and bilateral tubal fimbria removal. The surgical treatment methods for ligation surgery include transabdominal, anterior vaginal, posterior vaginal fornix and groin. At present, abdominal surgery is advocated as the main treatment. With the improvement of surgical operation technology and the upgrading of operating room instruments, the abdominal incision has been significantly reduced, the operation time has been significantly reduced, and the stimulation of equipment has also been reduced. The charging standards for these two different ligation surgeries are also different.

There are two methods for female sterilization:

1. Traditional ligation surgery: It is a surgical method of ligation. The incision is only two to three centimeters, and the ligation is cut with surgical sutures. The advantages are simplicity, effectiveness, small incision, and little tissue damage. Generally, only upper body anesthesia or even local anesthesia is required. No hospitalization is required after the operation and the cost is relatively cheap. The best time for surgery is usually the day after delivery, because the uterus has not contracted and the fallopian tubes are located close to the sides of the belly button. Therefore, surgery can be performed in the depression of the belly button skin, so the wound is less obvious. Of course, ligation surgery can also be performed at normal times, but at this time the location of the fallopian tubes on both sides has returned to the pelvis, and the incision of the ligation surgery will be more obvious. It is also common in clinical medicine to perform ligation surgery at the same time as cesarean section. This type of surgery will not cause any scarring.

2. Transvaginal ligation: The advantage of this surgical treatment is that there is absolutely no scar problem on the abdomen. The surgery is performed under upper body anesthesia and no hospitalization is required after the surgery. However, surgery is more difficult, with more chances of bleeding, infection, and complications. It is also not suitable to be performed after giving birth, so few people choose it.

Why not promote male sterilization?

In the past, due to the large population, the family planning policy was very strict. Male sterilization was once a very common method of contraception, and many couples did not want to have babies. They are also worried about getting pregnant before marriage, so they choose to go to the hospital for male sterilization. Perhaps because male sterilization surgery is too complicated, once simple contraceptive measures appear, sterilization surgery will be replaced. For example, condoms or emergency contraception are now available. But that's just one reason. Little did we know that male sterilization was quickly fading from our sight. So why not market male sterilization?

1. First of all, we know that there are many contraceptive methods that are very economical and easy to use. The most important thing is that they do not require surgery at all, so there will be no or very few side effects. Although the side effects of male sterilization are also very few, it will still cause great mental pressure on men.

2. Another very crucial point is that there are many contraceptive measures now that can effectively reduce the probability of infection with sexually transmitted diseases. In particular, the incidence and infection rates of male sexually transmitted diseases have been greatly reduced. A very important reason is the popularization of new contraceptive methods, and this advantage is also not available in vasectomy.

3. Also, the development of some female contraceptives has also greatly reduced the pressure on men to take contraceptive measures, shifting the responsibility of taking contraceptive measures away from men. There are a wide variety of high-efficiency or short-acting contraceptives, which are very convenient to take. Even if they fail, there is Meng Po soup to drink. There is absolutely no need for men to bear the heavy mental burden to undergo this sterilization operation.

4. Many male friends may not be very familiar with sterilization surgery. They generally think that sterilization surgery is castration, which will cause certain psychological barriers for male friends. In addition, if a man does not fully agree before the sterilization operation, or does not consult his wife's consent, and does not receive good attention and care after the operation, it will also have a certain impact on the man's psychological state. Although it is not easy for a woman to get pregnant after a male sterilization, some people have excessive sexual desire after the sterilization operation, which may cause sexual dysfunction over time.

Finally, what we should say is that no matter which contraceptive method is used, it is an act of self-responsibility. When we are not ready, we must pay attention to doing a good job of this contraceptive measure, so as not to worry after we are really pregnant.

Unfavorable impact

It is relatively simple for boys to undergo sterilization surgery. The principle of sterilization is to cut off or block the safe passage for male sperm to be discharged from the body, which will not affect sperm production. Because the transport pipeline is broken, sperm cannot be discharged, so it accumulates in the testicles and is reabsorbed. When a man ejaculates, only one-tenth of the semen is ejaculated, and the rest is made up of seminal fluid, bulbourethral gland fluid, etc. In addition, boys who have been sterilized need to avoid the occurrence of certain complications.
