Surgical methods of contraception include tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men. Tubal ligation involves blocking or sealing the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. Vasectomy involves cutting or blocking the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles. Both methods are considered permanent and highly effective forms of birth control.
Two common names used for sterilization are tubal ligation for females and vasectomy for males. Both procedures are permanent forms of contraception that involve blocking or cutting the fallopian tubes (tubal ligation) or the vas deferens (vasectomy) to prevent the passage of sperm or eggs.
Permanent methods are tubal ligation, vasectomy, and Essure. All other methods are temporary.
Some Planned Parenthoods provide tubal ligation, Essure, or vasectomy. Those who don't can refer to you health care providers who do. Call your local family planning office to find out what's available in your area.
A vasectomy is safer as it can be carried out under local anesthetic where as tubal ligation is done under general anesthetic, it is also cheaper and has a higher success rate as in rare cases the fallopian tubes can repair themselves.
