A surgeon from Taipei, Taiwan, has gained significant attention online after performing a vasectomy on himself. Dr. Chen Wei-nong shared the procedure on social media, describing it as a "gift" to honor his wife's wish to avoid future pregnancies.

The video, uploaded to Instagram, quickly went viral, accumulating over 2 million views and more than 61,000 likes. In the footage, Dr. Chen not only performs the operation but also provides a detailed, step-by-step educational guide, carefully explaining the eleven stages of the vasectomy process as he works.

Dr. Chen chose to carry out the procedure on himself to minimize the chances of errors, demonstrating his trust in his own surgical skills. While a standard vasectomy usually takes about 15 minutes, his self-surgery extended to an hour due to the added complexities of performing it on himself.

During the operation, he openly admitted, "It’s very painful when you touch the vas deferens, and stitching yourself up feels quite strange." Despite the discomfort, he completed the surgery successfully.

The following morning, Dr. Chen assured his followers that he was doing well. His bold and unconventional act has fascinated internet users, many of whom have praised his courage and surgical expertise.

The video has also prompted mixed reactions from viewers. One Instagram user questioned, "Wouldn’t it be better to have another doctor perform the surgery?" Another commented, "I can’t imagine how painful that must have been, even with anesthesia." Others took a more lighthearted approach, with one joking, "Well, that’s definitely one way to ensure precision!"
