Esterilización
¿Qué es la esterilización?
Sterilization is permanent birth control. It’s one of the most effective kinds of birth control available, but it’s also the biggest commitment. Sterilization is for people who are sure they will never want to get pregnant or get someone else pregnant. There are sterilization procedures both for people with a uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes (this procedure is called tubal ligation) and for people with testicles and a penis (this procedure is called vasectomy). Neither of these types of sterilization affects sexual pleasure or performance, and you can still orgasm after sterilization.

Tipos de Esterilización
Ligadura de trompas
Tubal ligation is a safe, effective, and permanent procedure for people with uteruses and fallopian tubes. It’s sometimes called “getting your tubes tied.” Your fallopian tubes are where your egg and a partner’s sperm meet, which can lead to pregnancy. To keep eggs and sperm apart, a health care provider will close off your fallopian tubes, remove a section of each of them, or remove both fallopian tubes entirely.
How tubal ligation is done depends partly on whether you’re doing it right after having a baby or not. But no matter what type of tubal ligation you have, it will involve some type of anesthesia, and recovery will take a few days.
Vasectomía
A vasectomy is a sterilization procedure for people with testicles and penises. Vasectomies prevent pregnancy by closing off the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm. That means sperm cannot get into the vagina during penis-in-vagina sex, and therefore pregnancy can’t happen.
