What is male sterilization called?

Correct option is B

Sol. Vasectomy is a permanent method of male sterilization where the vas deferens (sperm-carrying tubes) are cut and sealed to prevent sperm from entering the semen. It is a minor outpatient surgical procedure, highly effective for birth control. It doesn’t affect sexual function or hormone levels. Recovery is quick, and the procedure is nearly 100% effective after semen is confirmed to be sperm-free post-surgery.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Tubectomy – Refers to female sterilization, where the fallopian tubes are cut or blocked to prevent fertilization.
· (b) Vasectomy – Correct. This is the standard surgical procedure for male sterilization, preventing sperm release.
· (c) Salpingectomy – Refers to surgical removal of the fallopian tubes, often done in cases of ectopic pregnancy or infection.
· (d) None of these – Incorrect, because vasectomy is the correct and well-known term for male sterilization.
