How do you get sterilized?
There are two ways that sterilization for women can be done: minilaparotomy and laparoscopy.
- Minilaparotomy—A small incision (cut) is made in the abdomen.
- Laparoscopy—A device called a laparoscope is inserted through a small incision made in or near the belly button.
How does surgical sterilization work?
How it works. Female sterilisation works by preventing eggs travelling down the fallopian tubes, which link the ovaries to the womb (uterus). This means a woman’s eggs cannot meet sperm, so fertilisation cannot happen.
How is sterilization done in males?
How it works. A vasectomy works by stopping sperm getting into a man’s semen, the fluid that he ejaculates. The tubes that carry sperm from a man’s testicles to the penis are cut, blocked or sealed with heat. This means that when a man ejaculates, the semen has no sperm in it and a woman’s egg can’t be fertilised.
Is male sterilization reversible?
Almost all vasectomies can be reversed. However, this doesn’t guarantee success in conceiving a child. Vasectomy reversal can be attempted even if several years have passed since the original vasectomy — but the longer it has been, the less likely it is that the reversal will work.
