A surgeon from Taiwan made the biggest expression of love to his wife--performing a DIY vasectomy on himself.
Dr. Chen Weinong shared the footage of his DIY surgery on his social media accounts, with his viral Instagram post gaining over 63,000 likes. The bold and highly unusual medical act was reportedly motivated by the father of three's desire to solidify his commitment to his spouse, calling it a "gift to his wife," the Daily Mail noted.
"It was a strange feeling to touch and suture my own urethra," the doctor wrote in his video's AI caption.
The surgeon demonstrated impressive composure as he carried out the delicate operation on himself. In the footage, Dr. Chen calmly performs a self-vasectomy while narrating the process step-by-step like a tutorial, using anesthetic cream, a scalpel, and a surgical clamp.
However, the act has not been without its critics. Medical professionals have voiced concerns about the potential risks and ethical implications of self-surgery. Despite the controversy, many online viewers praised the surgeon’s skill and courage.
A vasectomy is a procedure that provides permanent male contraception by cutting and sealing the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra, the Mayo Clinic explained.
In the United States, vasectomy rates have been on the rise. A study analyzing commercial health insurance claims data revealed that the annual vasectomy rate among privately insured men aged 18 to 64 increased from 0.427% in 2014 to 0.537% in 2021, indicating a growing preference for this form of permanent contraception.
