Overview

A vasectomy is a minor surgical procedure used for male sterilization or permanent contraception. During the procedure, the vas deferens (the tubes that carry sperm) are cut or sealed to prevent sperm from mixing with the semen. It's a highly effective birth control method for men who no longer wish to father children.
