Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The surgical method, also known as sterilization, permanently blocks or cuts the fallopian tubes in women (tubal ligation) or the vas deferens in men (vasectomy), thereby preventing the union of the sperm and egg. Barrier methods (such as condoms or diaphragms) and hormonal methods (such as pills or patches) provide temporary protection and do not permanently prevent fertilization. Natural methods (such as fertility awareness or withdrawal) rely on timing or behavior and are not always effective.
