What anesthesia feels like?

The anaesthetic should take effect very quickly. You'll start feeling lightheaded, before becoming unconscious within a minute or so. The anaesthetist will stay with you throughout the procedure. They'll make sure you continue to receive the anaesthetic and that you stay in a controlled state of unconsciousness.

It's not clear exactly how it works, but it's known that all anaesthetics stop the nerves from passing signals to the brain. This means you do not feel anything. General anaesthesia is used for surgical procedures where it's safer or more comfortable for you to be unconscious. It's usually used for long operations or those that would otherwise be very painful. General anaesthesia is a state of controlled unconsciousness. During a general anaesthetic, medicines are used to send you to sleep, so you're unaware of surgery and do not move or feel pain while it's carried out.

How general anaesthetics are given

Before having an operation, you'll meet a specialist doctor called an anaesthetist to discuss which anaesthetic is most suitable for you.

This is called a preoperative assessment, when the anaesthetist will:

discuss the type or types of anaesthetic that are suitable for you

explain the risks of anaesthesia

agree a plan with you for your anaesthetic and pain control afterwards

The anaesthetist will look at your medical history and ask whether anyone in your family has had problems with anaesthesia. They'll also ask about your general health and lifestyle, including whether you:

have any allergies

smoke or drink alcohol

are taking any other medicine

The anaesthetist can answer any questions you have. Let them know if you're unsure about any part of the procedure or if you have any concerns. You should be given clear instructions to follow before the operation, including whether you can eat or drink anything in the hours leading up to it.

Before and during your operation

Just before you have surgery, you'll usually be taken to a room where your anaesthetist will give you the general anaesthetic.

It will either be given as a:

liquid that's injected into your veins through a cannula (a thin, plastic tube that feeds into a vein, usually on the back of your hand)

gas that you breathe in through a mask

Recovery

After your operation, the anaesthetist will stop the anaesthetic and you'll gradually wake up. You'll usually be in a recovery room at first, before being transferred to a ward. Depending on your circumstances, you'll usually need to stay in hospital for a few hours to a few days after your operation. General anaesthetics can affect your memory, concentration and reflexes for a day or two, so it's important for a responsible adult to stay with you for at least 24 hours after your operation, if you're allowed to go home. You'll also be advised to avoid driving, drinking alcohol and signing any legal documents for 24 to 48 hours.

What comes out of a man before sperm?

Pre-cum (also known as pre-ejaculate) is a small amount of fluid that comes out of your penis when you're turned on, but before you ejaculate (cum). Oozing pre-cum is involuntary — you can't control when it comes out, and you might not be able to feel it happening. Pre-cum doesn't usually have any sperm in it.

can u get pregnant by pre-cum cuz im hearing different stories

The chances of getting pregnant from pre-cum are pretty low — but it is possible. Pre-cum (also known as pre-ejaculate) is a small amount of fluid that comes out of your penis when you’re turned on, but before you ejaculate (cum). Oozing pre-cum is involuntary — you can’t control when it comes out, and you might not be able to feel it happening. Pre-cum doesn’t usually have any sperm in it. But some people may have a small amount of sperm in their pre-cum. If there is sperm in someone’s pre-cum, and that pre-cum gets into your vagina, it could possibly fertilize an egg and lead to pregnancy. There’s no way to know when there is or isn’t sperm in pre-cum — that’s one reason why the withdrawal method (pulling out) isn’t the best at preventing pregnancy, even if they pull out before they ejaculate (cum). If you want to prevent pregnancy, put on a condom before your penis and vagina touch. Even better, use both condoms and another kind of birth control together.
