Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for male sterilization or permanent contraception. During the procedure, the vasa deferentia, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra, are cut, tied, or otherwise sealed. This prevents sperm from entering into the ejaculate and reaching the egg, thus preventing pregnancy. It does not involve the removal of testicles (bilateral orchiectomy) nor is it caused by undescended testicles or orchiditis.
