    To be suitable for vasectomy you must:

    Understand the operation is PERMANENT (although there are operations that attempt to reverse it)

    Both you and partner have discussed and agree on this form of contraception

    Be aware of alternatives (female tubal ligation, the pill, intra-uterine devices, condoms)

    Have normal anatomy with both vasa (tubes) present

    Accept the risks of the operation (below)
