goodtoknow says: Vasectomy is a minor operation which stops a man's sperm reaching the semen and is therefore considered a permanent form of contraception. A vasectomy takes around 30 minutes under local anaesthetic and involves cutting or sealing the tube that takes sperm to the penis. He may feel uncomfortable for a few days afterwards but recovery is usually quick. However, he must be completely sure he doesn't want children before having a vasectomy. Operations to 'reverse' it are only 50 per cent successful.
