A vasectomy consists in the surgical interruption of the vas deferens (which transports spermatozoa out of the body) at the level of the scrotum. It is a very simple surgical operation which is performed in the doctor’s rooms using local anaesthetic after signing the necessary informed consensus. Subsequently, it is possible to restore the continuity of the duct (vasectomy reversal) but the possibility of success is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, it is a procedure to be reserved for subjects who are extremely motivated in their desire not to have any (or more) children. It must be highlighted that the quantity of the seminal liquid (which comes mostly from the seminal vescicles and the prostate), sexual appetite and orgasm remain practically unvaried.
