Vasectomy is a permanent form of male contraception that involves blocking the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the penis. Understanding what to expect from the procedure, the referral process, and its benefits can help someone make an informed decision. During a vasectomy, the tubes that carry sperm form the testicles to the penis (vas deferens) are cut, blocked, or sealed to prevent sperm from reaching the semen ejaculated from the penis.
Vasectomy is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy.
Vasectomy offers no protection from STIs or BBVs.
Permanent contraception: vasectomy is a permanent form of contraception for individuals or couples who have decided not to have any or any more children
