Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Male sterilization, also known as vasectomy, is considered to be the most effective form of contraception over the long run. It involves the surgical removal or blocking of the tubes that carry sperm from the testes to the penis, thus preventing the sperm from reaching the egg. Male sterilization has a failure rate of less than 1% and is considered to be a permanent method of contraception. Female sterilization also has a high success rate, but is a more invasive and irreversible procedure. The pill and diaphragm with spermicide require consistent and correct use and have higher failure rates than sterilization methods.
