Vasectomy

Generality

Vasectomy is a permanent method of contraception (sterilization), reserved for men; to obtain this result, during the vasectomy the urologist cuts the vas deferens, present at the level of the scrotum, and seals them. In this way, the sperm produced by the testes are prevented from joining the seminal fluid and forming sperm.

It is a "minor, simple, safe and very effective" surgical operation.
Vasectomy can be performed for various reasons: it can be requested by people who no longer want to have children, or it can represent a way, adopted by some countries, to control births.
There are two types of operative procedures: traditional vasectomy and no-scalpel vasectomy.
Like any surgery, complications can arise, but these are very rare.
