You will no longer be able to have children if you undergo woundless sterilization, because woundless sterilization is a permanent sterilization procedure through blocking the fallopian tubes and causing the body to develop fibrosis that block the fallopian tubes. Thus, if you still plan to have children, you should not undergo this sterilization procedure.
Male Sterilization
Sperm is the primary agent in causing pregnancy. Male sterilization is performed by injecting an anesthetic before surgery, followed by severing the vasa deferentia inside the scrotum in order to tie them. The vasa deferentia are severed on both sides, then the man has to wait for 3 months in order to determine whether the person has become sterile. Many men do not prefer to undergo sterilization, because they think that sterilization will cause them to become moody and irritable, which affects sex drive or causes erectile dysfunction or abnormal erection. In reality, these beliefs are not accurate in any manner, because this type of sterilization does not affect hormone levels.
Female Sterilization
In the past, there were only 2 ways to perform sterilization, namely wet sterilization and dry sterilization. However, today woundless sterilization has been developed as an additional option.
- Wet sterilization is sterilization performed right after pregnancy. The doctor would tie and remove the fallopian tubes on both sides. In performing sterilization after natural birth, if the birth had no complications, sterilization can be performed right away by making an incision in the abdomen below the umbilical in order to find the fallopian tubes and remove them on both sides.
- Dry sterilization is sterilization performed when the uterus is of a normal size. The doctor will make an incision in the abdomen slightly above the pelvic bone and then tie and remove the fallopian tubes. As sterilization techniques improved, doctors can now insert a camera into the abdominal cavity below the umbilical to make sterilization easier to perform.
- With video-assisted woundless sterilization, the doctor will insert a camera into the uterus and then insert a metal spring device through the vagina and then through the openings of the fallopian tubes. The spring will expand once inserted and then block the fallopian tubes. The operation requires only 5-10 minutes, then the patient has to wait for fibrosis to form in about 3 months after sterilization. During the three-month period, it is necessary to use birth control, but afterwards sexual intercourse will not lead to pregnancy. As a result, the person will be able to return to work or perform other activities normally. This type of sterilization is performed quickly, painless and woundless. However, woundless sterilization is still permanent sterilization, so once you decide to undergo this operation, you will no longer be able to have children.
