Explanation

"Bilateral partial vasectomy" is a medical procedure that involves partially blocking or cutting the tubes that carry sperm from a man's testicles. This is done on both sides, hence the term "bilateral". The procedure is often used as a form of male birth control, as it can prevent sperm from being released during ejaculation. However, because it's only partial, there may still be a chance of pregnancy.
