Vasectomy cuts or seals the vas deferens so sperm no longer enter the ejaculate. It should be regarded as permanent. Where circumstances change, options are reversal surgery or surgical sperm retrieval with ICSI; freezing sperm before the procedure is worth considering if there is any uncertainty.
Also known as: male sterilisation
