the Best Clinic for You
Understanding of Vasectomy
Vasectomy is a way to control birth by male sterilisation. It is a simple surgery in which a doctor
cuts or seals the small tube called the vas deferens located in your scrotum which blocks the
sperm in your body and prevents unwanted pregnancy. And also most of the vasectomies are
reversals.
There are two types of vasectomies.

known as vas deferens, which helps to block the supply of sperm by sealing or closing
the vas deferens with the help of an electrical current. This procedure does not take
more than 1 hour.
●
No scalpel vasectomy method: The doctor makes one or two small holes in your scrotum
and Further that These holes will reach your deferens tube (the tube that carries sperm).
