What is Ductus deferens?

Also known as VAS deferens, Ductus deferens is part of male anatomy that transmits sperm from epididymis to the ejaculation channel. There are two vasa deferentia, one for each epididymis where sperm is temporarily stored outside the testicles where they are produced. In the ejaculation channel, sperm cells are mixed with enzymes and other ejaculation fluid to form sperm, which then leaves the body of the urethra. Ductus deferens in a human male is about 11.8 inches (30 cm) and a smooth muscle surrounding IT helps to transport sperm along its length. Because the sperm consists mainly of secretions created in the seeds, prostates and bulburateral glands, one can still ejaculate, but the absence of sperm provides a method of permanent contraception. In some cases, vasectomy may be perverted, but the results of the reversal procedure are not guaranteed. Vasectomy does not affect sexual function or pleasure and is a safe and very effective form of contraception.

Another way to perform vasectomy involves blocking Ductus deferens rather than cutting. This method is generally as effective as traditional vasectomy. In any type of volatomic procedure, another form of contraception must be used for at least three months to completely empty the seminal vesicles.

In some cases, genetic factors cause ductus deferens to evolve abnormally, a condition referred to as a congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD). Men with this condition are infertile because the sperm produced in the testes cannot be transported to the ejaculation channel. The genetic abnormalities that lead to CBAVD were linked for cystic fibrosis. Not all men with abnormal development of ductus deferens manifest cystic fibrosis, but some have other problems such as digestive problems or respiratory problems, which are symptoms related to cystic fibrosis.

cysticFibrosis affects mucus consistency throughout the body and is a systemic disorder. Almost all men suffering from this disease also suffer from CBAVD and as a result infertile. However, they tend to produce sperm in a normal way. Men with cystic fibrosis and CBAVD generally have to monitor alternative methods of fertilization with their partners to panel children.
