Vasectomy, also called male sterilisation, is a permanent method of contraception. It’s a procedure that stops sperm being ejaculated from the penis during sex

Female sterilisation is a permanent type of contraception, where the fallopian tubes are blocked or cut to stop sperm meeting an egg.  This is sometimes called tubal ligation or “getting your tubes tied”.

If you are looking for these permanent forms of contraception, you'll need to visit your GP as this is not a service offered at YorSexual Health.
