Forms of Permanent Birth Control
Permanent contraceptives are the most popular forms of birth control in the United States. Everyone can choose this form of surgical birth control.
Permanent birth control for men is called “vasectomy” and is made by a surgical procedure where an incision is made in the upper part of the scrotum. The two tubes that carry sperm into the semen are cut apart and then tied off. The incision is then stitched. This procedure is performed in a surgeon’s office using local anesthesia to numb the area while the man is awake. After the surgery a man is still able to produce semen but it is free of sperm so it will not cause pregnancy. Permanent birth control for women causing is called “Tubal Ligation”, which causes permanent sterilization. It is performed in a hospital and the woman is under some form of anesthesia. One or two small incisions are made in the abdomen. The fallopian tubes are clipped and cauterized and the incision is then stitched. Both of the two forms of permanent sterilization— Vasectomy (for men) or Tubal Ligation (for women)— prevent against pregnancy but not against sexually transmitted diseases. So using condomsis recommended for non-monogamous couples.
