Will a man really become "feminine" after getting a vasectomy?

Netizen question: My wife and I already have a baby, and we don’t plan to have another one. But I don’t want her to take birth control pills or have an IUD inserted all the time, so I plan to get a vasectomy. But I heard that getting a vasectomy will make me “feminine”? Is this true?

First of all, I want to give you a thumbs up, because as a man, you are really considerate of your wife. As for what you said, "Men will become effeminate after vasectomy", it is completely false.

Sperm produced by the testicles needs to be transported to the penis through the vas deferens. Male sterilization is to cut the vas deferens and then sew up the two ends of the vas deferens. In this way, sperm cannot be discharged during ejaculation, thus achieving contraception.

In other words, male vasectomy will only affect the discharge of sperm, but will not have any effect on other functions. Men can still have normal erections and ejaculations.

In addition, male secondary sexual characteristics, such as a prominent Adam's apple, a strong voice, more body hair, and a long beard, are mainly affected by androgens, while the amount, transportation, and distribution of androgens have nothing to do with vasectomy.

However, male sterilization is an invasive surgery after all, and there are inevitably certain risks involved, so you must be aware of them before you proceed.
