A vasectomy is a simple surgical procedure used on men to prevent the passage of sperm from the testicles to the prostate gland by severing and sealing the vans deferens tubes connecting them. Though vasectomy has been researched since as early as 1830, it only started to become popular as a form of birth control in the U.S. in the early 1960s. Now, as many as 50 million men have had a vasectomy, currently about one out of six men over the age of 35. It is now the third most common form of family planning, led by oral contraception and female sterilization.
