Which among the following is a surgical procedure as a contraceptive method used in males?

Vasectomy

The correct answer is Option (3) –Vasectomy

Surgical methods, also called sterilisation, are generally advised for the male/female partner as a terminal method to prevent any more pregnancies. Surgical intervention blocks gamete transport and thereby prevent conception.

Sterilisation procedure in the male is called ‘vasectomy’ and that in the female, ‘tubectomy’.

In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small incision on the scrotum  These techniques are highly effective but their reversibility is very poor.
