Vasectomy is the surgical procedure for male sterilization, where the vas deferens, which carries sperm from the testes to the urethra, is cut and tied. This blocks the transport of sperm and ensures that the ejaculate does not contain sperm. Tubal ligation is the surgical procedure for female sterilization, where the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or blocked to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus. Both these methods are typically permanent and considered irreversible as they require surgery for reversal. Therefore, they are effective in blocking the gametes from moving to a site where fertilization can occur.
