What are the effects of vasectomy on women?

For many families with children, contraceptive methods are very important. There are many ways of contraception. Many families often choose methods that are less harmful to the body and will not affect the quality of life. Therefore, many women choose sterilization for contraception. However, we don’t know much about sterilization, so does sterilization cause any harm to the body? Let us take a look at the effects of sterilization on women.

1. If you don’t really want to have a vasectomy or are young and don’t think much about it, experts say that the chances of problems occurring after the vasectomy may actually be higher.

2. Women will experience the following emotional changes after tubal ligation: tension and anxiety, irritability and frequent temper tantrums, and memory loss. There is a pessimistic and melancholic mood, manifested as depressed thoughts, silence, low mood, accompanied by poor appetite, weight loss, decreased libido, increased heart rate and other symptoms.

3. Sexual life is affected, the main manifestation of which is decreased sexual desire and unwillingness to have sex.

4. Irregular menstruation. Many women have normal menstruation before undergoing tubal ligation surgery. However, after tubal ligation, menstrual cycle disorders, excessive or insufficient menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and oligomenorrhea may occur. This is called "menstrual disorder after tubal ligation."

5. Irregular bleeding between menstruation periods. This is due to the rupture of the follicles. The fluctuations in estrogen cannot maintain the growth of the endometrium, causing local ulceration and shedding of the surface layer of the endometrium, resulting in breakthrough bleeding of a small amount. This is the phenomenon of ovulation bleeding. After ovulation, the follicle quickly turns into a corpus luteum, which can secrete a certain amount of estrogen and progesterone, which can quickly repair the ruptured endometrium, and the bleeding will stop automatically. Therefore, the amount of bleeding during ovulation is generally very small, and it will stop automatically after a few hours or days. No treatment is required.

6. During the ligation operation, some blood vessels entering the ovaries may be damaged, and the hormones from the pituitary gland that stimulate the ovaries may be reduced, so the ovaries will not work normally, which will cause harm to women who have undergone ligation surgery.

Sterilization is a relatively traditional contraceptive method in our lives. It requires surgery to complete and it also causes certain harm to our bodies. After understanding the impact of sterilization on women, we actually have many options when choosing contraceptive methods. Although a perfect sex life is important, physical health is more important.
