What is vasectomy?

- It is a form of contraception

- A vasectomy is an operation which blocks the tubes (the vas deferens) which carry a man's sperm to the penis. This operation should be considered permanent. You must be certain you want no more children and will not change your mind.

Advantages


- A vasectomy is a minor operation. It is safe, effective, and permanent.
- It is an excellent form of contraception for men in stable relationships who do not want any more children.
- It is less expensive and involves fewer complications than tubal ligation.
- You can have your semen checked at any time to see if your operation is "still working." If your semen has no sperm, your vasectomy is working!
- A vasectomy gives the man the opportunity to play a responsible role in the contaceptive process.
- It does not affect a man's ability to enjoy sexual intercourse
