Vasectomy Full Vas Removal
Full Vas Removal The vas deferens is also called ductus deferens which is only present in male organ. Its main role is to transport sperm from the epididymis for the purpose of ejaculation. When a man ejaculates, the smooth muscles found in the walls of the vas deferens contract, allowing millions of sperms to move forward. From the vas, the sperms go to the urethra together with secretions of the male sex glands (semen) and other glands out of the penis. Being the ‘transporter’, the vas deferens plays a major role in contraception. In the vasectomy full vas removal, the vas is being cut so the ejaculation would contain only the gland secretions. Basically, the vas deferens is not literally removed. It is merely cut or sealed (depending on the preference of the patient). In case of removal, only a portion of the vas is taken out. Sometimes, the procedure only involves the blocking of the tube (vas) to using an obstructive material to prevent the sperm from coming out. What happens to the sperm if it is not allowed to pass though the vas? There are around 460 sperm cells produced by the male reproductive organ every day. These cells would remain in the testicles until it has been ejaculated. And even if the man doesn’t initiate the ejaculation, the sperm will still find its way out. So there’s what we call ‘wet dreams’ or the involuntary excretion of the sperm cells. After the full removal of vas in vasectomy, the sperm cells will not be able to go out anymore. However, they will be absorbed by the body. There’s no complication associated in this mechanism. Can it be reversed? After the vasectomy full vas removal, is there a chance that it can be put back to its original condition? There is. The process is called vasectomy reversal. During the reversal, the vas deferens which have been cut are joined together to allow the sperm to pass through just like before. However, there are risks involved in this procedure. More improvements must be done in the process to avoid possible complications. | ||||||
