Vasectomy

Vasectomy, or male sterilisation, is a highly effective, permanent method of contraception. It involves a minor operation that blocks sperm from reaching the penis. It can be difficult to reverse so it is only recommended if you’re sure you do not want children. 

If you're interested in a vasectomy, speak to your GP for a referral.
