Vasectomy and Sterilisation

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. 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.
