WHAT IS A VASECTOMY ?
A vasectomy is a simple, safe and effective form of permanent contraception. It is a quick and popular procedure (20,000 per year in Ontario) that is performed in a doctor’s clinic with local anaesthesia in less than 15 minutes. A vasectomy prevents the sperm from entering the semen by blocking the tubes (vas deferens) that carry sperm from the testicles.
WHAT IS A CIRCUMCISION?
A circumcision is a simple elective surgical procedure that involves the removal of the prepuce (foreskin) of the penis. The procedure is centuries old and continues to be performed for a variety of religious, cultural, and medical reasons. It is best performed in the first few weeks after birth, and is regarded as one of the safest routine procedures today, with over one million performed in North American each year.
