A vasectomy is a surgical procedure designed to sterilize men by preventing sperm from being released during ejaculation. It is a permanent option for those who do not wish to have more children.
In this surgery, the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra, are cauterized. After a vasectomy, sperm cannot leave the testicles.
Vasectomy is performed with outpatient surgery and local anesthesia, so it does not cause any pain.
It does not affect sexual desire or erection, it is very effective and its cost is lower compared to other equivalent treatments in women, such as tubal ligation.
