Question

Vas deferens is cut for ______.

• A. Female sterilization
• B. Male sterilization
• C. Both A and B
• D. Temporary sterilization

Answer 1

The correct option is B Male sterilization

Surgical methods are generally advised for the male / female partner as a terminal method to prevent any more pregnancies. Surgical intervention blocks gamete transport and thereby prevent conception. Sterilization procedure in the male is called vasectomy and that in the female, tubectomy.

In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small incision on the scrotum whereas in tubectomy, a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up through a small incision in the abdomen or through the vagina.

So, the correct answer is 'Male sterilization'
