Where do i go /who do i go to for birth control ie vasectomy or similar procedure? what are the pros and cons?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Start with your doc: Your local physician would have knowledge of & the ability to refer you to who or where such services are provided. The basic pro is you stop worrying about conception.
