Vasectomy is a form of sterilization. It consists of blocking the spermatozoa, via ligation of the ducts which transport them from the testicles.
In France, where it has been authorized since 2001, vasectomy has long remained extremely rare. However, according to data published Monday, this choice has become a little less marginal among the French over the last decade. Around 0.15% of the men concerned have made this choice in 2022, the study says.
