The most common method of male sterilization is vasectomy, in which the ductus (vas) deferens is tied, cut, or both. What is the equivalent method of female sterilization?Why are the difficulty and risks of that procedure greater than for a vasectomy?
One of the common unfortunate consequences of a vasectomy is that the proximal ends of the ductus deferens rupture and spermatozoa are exposed to the immune system. The person with the testes then produces antibodies against their own sperm. This has consequences for the effectiveness of a vasectomy reversal.
In the situation described above, why are the spermatozoa considered foreign even though they are being produced within the person’s own seminiferous tubules? This immune response is not normal, and so describe how the testes’ structure prevents this immune reaction from occurring.
Vasectomies and female tubal ligations both involve severing and tying a tube to prevent a pregnancy. Which procedure is less invasive surgically? Explain.
