Depending on the nature of the job, rest for 7 to 14 days after surgery.
2. After ligation, do not touch off the gauze on the postoperative incision, and do not take a bath before the incision heals to prevent infection.
For some sensitive people, in order to prevent falling pain, you can use a T-belt or a towel to cover the scrotum for about a week.
3. Patients should also pay attention to the bleeding situation in the wound. If blood is found on the gauze strip within one day after the woman's ligation, they should be immediately checked by a doctor and treated in a timely manner.
4. For 2 weeks after ligation, marital life must be prohibited.
5. Generally, the skin of the scrotum has a very strong ability to heal. If you have not sutured or used subcutaneous sutures, you will not need to remove sutures.
If a stitch is sewn to the skin, the suture can be removed 4-5 days after surgery, which is also a precaution after ligation.

4. In cases where vasectomy was not performed intraoperatively, sperm may remain in the seminal vesicles for up to 4 to 6 months post-surgery. Therefore, it is still advisable to adhere to contraception. A semen test should be conducted once every 1 to 2 months until the absence of sperm is confirmed before discontinuing contraception.
Even if a varicocele has been treated with spermatic venography, semen monitoring should be carried out after surgery to confirm the absence of motile spermatozoa before discontinuing contraception.
5. Upon beginning to resume sexual activities following surgery, the surgical area may experience pain and discomfort, which is a common occurrence and should not be considered abnormal. There should be no excessive psychological burden.
If there is still pain or swelling in the local area one month after surgery, you should seek medical attention to address the issue promptly.

There is still a certain failure rate in fallopian tube ligation, and the general re-pregnancy rate is 2‰. Among re-pregnancies after failure, there are intrauterine pregnancies and a small number of extra-uterine pregnancies, which is something women should pay attention to.
Female sterilization is the use of surgical methods to ligate, cut off, or use non-surgical methods to inject medicine into the fallopian tubes to stick or plug the fallopian tubes to achieve the purpose of long-term contraception.
Among them, tubal ligation is the most commonly used method, which involves surgically blocking the fallopian tubes. Its methods mainly include: tubal compressive ligation, double-loop ligation of the fallopian tubes, and partial resection of the mesosigmoid uterus with incision.
For women, vasectomy is a relatively safe operation, but postoperative bed rest is necessary, especially during sexual activity. It is important to avoid sexual intercourse and bathing in the first month after the procedure to prevent complications and infections, which are also significant considerations for post-vasectomy women.
Female sterilization refers to tubal occlusion surgery, which involves cutting and ligating a section of the fallopian tubes, preventing sperm from encountering the egg and achieving contraception. After sterilization, women should pay attention to the following dietary guidelines: 1. Avoid spicy and greasy foods to prevent irritation of the intestines and potential discomfort symptoms such as diarrhea. 2. Decrease intake of caffeine and alcohol, as these substances can affect hormone levels and potentially impact fertility. 3. Increase the consumption of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as these foods are rich in fiber and vitamins, beneficial for maintaining overall health. 4. Maintain adequate hydration by drinking at least 8 cups of water daily to aid in bodily detoxification and maintain normal physiological functions. 5. Avoid over-eating or binge eating, as this can lead to malnutrition or digestive system issues. 6. Be mindful of food safety, avoiding consumption of expired or unclean food. 7. Consume an appropriate amount of high-quality protein, such as fish, meat, eggs, and dairy, to meet the body's nutritional needs. 8. Avoid excessive intake of high sugar, high salt, and high-fat foods, as they may have negative impacts on health. 9. Pay attention to dietary balance to ensure adequate intake of vitamins and minerals to support normal bodily functions. 10. Follow doctor's advice and regularly undergo physical examinations to promptly identify and address any potential health issues.
Male sterilization involves cutting the vas deferens, which transports sperm from the testicles to the penis, thus preventing sperm from entering the semen and eliminating them. This achieves a permanent method of birth control.
Whether it's male or female vasectomy, it is recommended to get out of bed early and engage in appropriate activities after the operation to reduce intestinal adhesions. The diet should be fluid on the first day, and normal food can be resumed on the second day.
Enhance nutrition through diet, with medication changes every three days.
Seven days later, the stitches were removed and antibiotics were applied to control the infection.
In addition, we must ensure sufficient nutrient intake and should not eat too much sweets.
Eat more foods rich in vitamins and high protein, such as fresh vegetables, melons and fruits, fish, meat, eggs and soy products.
Do not eat spicy and stimulating foods, avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Also, do not consume cold or frozen food or drinks.
A particularly important point to note is that, following vasectomy, women should consume half-liquid diets for the first two days.
Both male and female individuals who undergo vasectomy may experience certain postoperative complications, though the latter are more prevalent. Therefore, it is recommended that males undergo vasectomy.
So, what are the potential sequelae of vasectomy? 1. Post-vasectomy complications are rare.
It is common to experience minor bleeding at the scrotal area, skin infection, and allergies to sutures and local anesthesia. There are no impacts on endocrine functions or female sexual function as it merely involves ligature of the testis, without harming the other sex organ tissues.
2. So far, the results of the study have no clear conclusions, but most scholars believe that even if there are sequelae of female ligation, only a very small number of people will be affected. In fact, ligation also has some side benefits, and more and more research shows that it may reduce the chance of ovarian cancer. The sequelae of the ligation surgery may be caused by the surgery changing local hormonal status or by blocking blood flow that reduces the chances of the ovaries being exposed to carcinogens.
3. After ligation, the chance of needing uterus resection due to some gynecologic problems is higher than that of the average person. In fact, many people do not want to have children because of some related gynecological diseases, such as uterine fibroids, advanced age, poor coagulation function, or postpartum hemorrhage. After ligation, these problems may be the reason why the uterus needs to be removed, not the ligation itself.
4. After hysterectomy, the uterus becomes a troublemaker for some people and the menstrual discomfort can become intolerable, so the surgery is naturally more likely to happen.
In addition, people who choose surgical ligature as a method of contraception may also be more inclined to consider surgery for other gynecological issues in the future.
5. A man who has undergone sterilization surgery needs to prevent some complications from occurring.
Complications such as hemorrhage after ligature, incisional infection, and inflammation of the reproductive system, painful nodules, and epididymal congestion syndrome should be prevented by implementing proper post-ligation nursing care measures to minimize the occurrence of these complications.
