if you sterilise a man, you just sew shut or cut through the tubes (same for a woman in most cases, but for women it's so much more difficult) and if there's someone not being 110% vigilant, then there can be openings in those seams and sperm and ovum can still get through
so, pregnancy
additionally to that, when you look at sterilisation on ovaries, those still leave open the possibilities for ectropian (?????? like when the foetus doesn't go into the womb but decides next to the bladder surrounded by intestines is the place to be) pregnancies. Very rare though. If that happens, go buy a lottery ticket!
but then there's also castration (which can be done to women and rarely gets done to men because of the optics) where you either remove the testes, the ovaries and/or the womb. In that case, no pregnancy possible at all, never
also, never forget that people can be unfaithful
but there was this documentary on Netflix about botched surgeries where they had an example of this supposedly temporary devide that would get inflated inside the fallopian tubes and thus prevent pregnancy but those would often rupture the tissue and then still pregnancy ensued
it's a generally difficult topic even without the added bonus of humankind just refusing to talk about reproduction like the grown-ass adults we are
I think removing the ovaries is fine in most cases, but I don't think I would reccomend anyone (except if they have cancer or smth) to remove the whole womb, cus stuff gets shirted around then, doesn't it? Like ur bladder and other organs can move around and its not very ideal I think. I won't do it at least cus im already worried abt prolapse in the walls between stuff down there lolouch wrote:
I read abt horror stories where ppl get sterilized (?) tho and then they still get pregnant ,, just wtf,
yeah, that's hormonal cysts, but those are not the kind I have, so in theory (haha) my hormones are "normal" - but if I've learned anything, normal does not existMasileinDE wrote:
thing is, it's difficult to determine wether I would be fertile or not, because there is no hormonal reason for the cysts (it's the kind that becomes cancer 1 out of 4, which is why after I had my thrid cyst, the doctors were very set on removing the ovary that has been affected the most)
but considering how my hormone levels are rather weird, it's very likely I never could have had children either way
like I had my surgery and ovary removal when I was 21 and the doctor was like: if you are serious about having your own kids, try for two years, afterwards, it's no promise because the ovary you have left is already really small (it had to get cut down a bit from other cyst surgeries)
so considering I'm now 26 and my period has been starting to get like my mum's period when she was starting menopause ... I do not feel optimistic
Aj,, I know my mom has pcos and cysts too (idk if she did anything with them tbh) and usually it can be hard to get pregnant then because the hormones are weird and stuff, but then she had 4 kids before she turned 30 so it is what it is lolthing is, it's difficult to determine wether I would be fertile or not, because there is no hormonal reason for the cysts (it's the kind that becomes cancer 1 out of 4, which is why after I had my thrid cyst, the doctors were very set on removing the ovary that has been affected the most)
