A couple chooses vasectomy for permanent contraception. Which statement by the man shows correct understanding?

Correct answer: B. A semen test confirms when contraception may stop

  • A. Protection begins immediately after the procedure
  • B. A semen test confirms when contraception may stop
  • C. The procedure protects both partners from HIV
  • D. The operation always causes permanent loss of sexual desire

Explanation

Sperm may remain in the reproductive tract after vasectomy, so another contraceptive method is needed until semen analysis confirms absence of sperm according to local service protocol. Vasectomy does not prevent sexually transmitted infections or normally reduce sexual desire.
