The vasectomy is an effective surgical method for the male sterilization or persistent contraception.At the time of performing this method,male vasa deferentia is cut and bind or seal up so as to stop the sperm from getting to the urethra and by that means stop fertilization of a female by sexual intercourse.

In the Tubal ligation, a female fallopian tubes are cut,bind or obstructed to persistently stop pregnanacy.This process stop an egg from its journy from ovaries by means of fallopian tubes and prevent the sperm from moving up the fallopian tube to egg.But this process will not trouble the menstrual cycle.
