5.3.2. Permanent Methods of Family Planning.

A permanent method of contraception is a method used to prevent
pregnancy in the future. This method is also called sterilization. Per-
manent methods of contraception are as follows:

A. Vasectomy
Vasectomy
Vasectomy is a method of permanent 1nale
sterilization. During a vasectomy, the vas
deferens is cut and tied through a small
hole in a man's scrotum. Due to this, the
sperm cannot corne out and the ovum
does not get fertilized and the pregnancy
does not occur.

B. Minilap

Minilap is a method of permanent female
sterilization. In this method, the fallopian
tube of the woman is cut and tied. By do-
ing this, the ovum is not allowed to come
out and go to the uterus so the sperm can-
not get the ovum and prevent pregnancy.
A woman should complete a minilap
within 45 days of delivery or within seven days of menstruation.
