Preferred term

vasectomy, birth control, and men's health  

Definition

  • Despite the common use today of bilateral vasectomy as an efficacious and permanent form of contraception, the history of vasectomy demonstrates its use for other, less salutary goals. Indeed, the path to the modern use of vasectomy as a male contraceptive was marked by numerous medical, political, and moral missteps.
