hours of sexual intercourse. These types of medicines should not be used frequently.

In vasectomy, the vas difference is cut and tied in order to block the sperms coming
out and mixing in semen. In doing so, the sperms cannot enter the uterus so that
conception cannot take place. This is the permanent method used for males only.

b. Mini-lap and Laparoscopy

The eggs developed in the ovary arrive at the uterus through the fallopian tube. In

birth control method for females.
