Male Sterilization

Male sterilization, commonly known as a vasectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to prevent pregnancy. During the procedure, a doctor cuts or blocks the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra. This means that while a man can still produce semen, it won’t contain sperm, making it impossible to father a child. Vasectomies are considered a permanent form of contraception, though some procedures may be reversible. The process is generally safe, with minimal recovery time, and is often chosen by men who are certain they do not want more children.
