vasectomised
Made permanently infertile
Vasectomised describes a man who has undergone a vasectomy—a surgical procedure that cuts or blocks the tubes carrying sperm, rendering him sterile.
The spelling with -ised is British; American English uses vasectomized.
He'd been vasectomised years ago, so pregnancy wasn't a concern.
