Vasectomy - What is it?
A vasectomy is a procedure in which both vas deferens are cut or ligated. As a result, the sperm does not enter the sperm and the man becomes infertile. Sperm are still produced, but instead of going into the sperm, they end up in the epididymis, from where the body absorbs them spontaneously.

How do you prepare for a vasectomy? About two weeks before it, you need to have basic laboratory tests recommended by your doctor. A few days before, stop blood-thinning medication and shave the pubic hair on the penis, scrotum and groin. And for a few days after the procedure, refrain from sexual intercourse, masturbation and physical exercise.
The treatment lasts 20-30 minutes
Vasectomy is performed under local anaesthetic

Avoid heavy physical exertion for 7 days after surgery

So if we are to judge whether it is worth opting for a vasectomy - in the knowledge of its irreversibility, it is definitely worth it.
