Question

Which of the following is incorrect regarding vasectomy?

• A. Irreversible sterility
• B. No sperm occurs in seminal fluid
• C. No sperm occurs in epididymis
• D. Vasa deferentia is cut and tied

Answer 1

The correct option is C No sperm occurs in epididymis

Surgical methods of contraception are advised for male/female partners as a terminal method to prevent further pregnancies. These methods are poorly reversible. Hence, they might cause irreversible sterility.

Vasectomy is a surgical method of contraception in males. The vas deferens is tied and cut so as to prevent the sperms from reaching the female reproductive tract during copulation.

Sperms are produced inside the testis and are temporarily stored in the epididymis before they reach the vas deferens. Vasectomy does not affect either the production of sperms or their storage in epididymis.

Seminal plasma is fluid secreted by various accessory glands like prostate, seminal vesicles and bulbourethral glands. Vasectomy does not affect the secretion of seminal plasma. A person who has undergone vasectomy will be able to ejaculate but sperms will be absent in the semen released.


The statement in option c is incorrect. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
