What does "Vasectomy" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.
A vasectomy is a type of surgery that makes a man permanently unable to get a woman pregnant. It involves cutting or blocking two tubes, called the vas deferens, so that sperm can no longer get into the semen. This procedure is typically done as a form of birth control. After a vasectomy, a man can still have sex and ejaculate, but the semen will not contain sperm.
