Vasectomy

Vasectomy is a simple procedure with almost no risk of complications. The operation takes about 20–40 minutes and is performed under local anaesthesia. During the procedure, a small incision is made near the sperm ducts in the testicles. Through this incision, the vas deferens are pulled out, cut, and tied. Since the incision is very small, stitches are not required. As a result, sperm no longer enter the semen that is ejaculated during intercourse, and the man can no longer fertilise a woman. Vasectomy has no effect on a man’s sexual potency or sex life.
