Which contraceptive method is permanent?

Explanation:
Permanent contraception is designed to cause irreversible sterility. Among common options, sterilization is the one intended to be permanent (such as tubal ligation for women or vasectomy for men). The other choices are reversible: Nexplanon is a long-acting implant that prevents pregnancy but fertility can return after removal; IUDs provide years of reversible contraception; condoms are barrier methods used as needed and do not produce permanent infertility. So the method intended to be permanent is sterilization.
