Evidence concerning the psychological effects of vasectomy for American men was reviewed. Surveys of postoperative sexual behavior, satisfaction, and/or happiness suggest that the effects of vasectomy are generally positive. Data from studies employing clinical interviews and/or psychological tests, however, support a very different conclusion. These investigations which are generally superior in methodology and measurement techniques to the survey studies indicate that (a) although men in general verbally express satisfaction with vasectomy, many men are probably describing feelings which have been distorted as part of an attempt to cope with their private concerns about the consequences of the operation; and (b) many men experience some difficulty in adjusting to the psychological consequences of vasectomy. Implications for future research are discussed.
对有关输精管切除术对美国男性心理影响的证据进行了综述。对术后性行为、满意度和/或幸福感的调查表明，输精管切除术的影响总体上是积极的。然而，采用临床访谈和/或心理测试的研究数据却支持一个截然不同的结论。这些在方法和测量技术上通常优于调查研究的调查表明：(a) 尽管总体而言男性在口头上表达对输精管切除术的满意，但许多男性可能描述的是为应对他们对手术后果的个人担忧而扭曲的感受；(b) 许多男性在适应输精管切除术的心理后果方面存在一些困难。文中还讨论了对未来研究的启示。
