Vasectomy

Vasectomy is a safe, effective, permanent form of birth control for men. During a minor surgical operation, the vas deferens (the tubes in which sperm travel to the penis) are closed off.

Ejaculation is not disrupted, but semen contains no sperm so pregnancy can’t happen.

Vasectomy procedures are performed on site at a Planned Parenthood clinic, including counseling before the procedure, the procedure itself, and semen evaluation after the procedure.

Many health insurance plans cover vasectomy services, and services are available at low cost to men who are uninsured or under-insured.
