Vasectomy is a surgical procedure which is done in order to make a man sterile so that he is unable to father a child. Though this surgery is not cent percent effective but it is considered as a permanent way of birth control.

Vasectomy surgery works by preventing the exit of the sperm from the body. During this surgical procedure, the vas deferens (ducts through which sperms travel into the semen) gets blocked. All the techniques of vasectomy involves the cutting or the blocking of the right and the left deferens so that the ejaculation of the men do not contains any sperm and thus do cause a women to become pregnant.  After this surgery there is no alteration in the ability to have and maintain erection and moreover it also does not change the quantity or the quality of the semen.

The entire surgical process of vasectomy takes around ten minutes and most of the patients are allowed to go home on the same day. Just like any other surgery there might be few risks associated with vasectomy as well which may include infection or prolonged bleeding. Since this procedure is permanent, thus the decision to have this surgery should be made after a well thought process and when you are sure of not having children again.
