Vasectomy Services

What is a Vasectomy?

Vasectomy is a form of male sterilisation where the tubes are cut or blocked.

By law you do not need your partner’s permission to have a vasectomy, but some doctors prefer both partners to agree after they have received information and counselling.

Can women be sterilised?

Women seeking information on sterilisation should speak to their GP.
