Men who have a vasectomy face an increased chance of developing prostate cancer and a higher risk of contracting the most aggressive form of the disease, a study has found.
The Harvard research on 50,000 men, the largest study to examine the link between sterilization and cancer, found that those who had the procedure had a 10 percent greater chance of developing the disease.
It also found a sharp increase in the risk of contracting the most aggressive form of prostate cancer, although this type of the disease is still relatively rare.

Now don’t get all General Ripper on us now!
I work on an Oncology unit at a local hospital in my area. For over 22 years I have made a very strange observation on about 95% of the women who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer - they all had “tubal ligations” when they were younger. Just downright scary.

That’s what i always wondered. So i never got one. That and pretty little nurses holding sharp knives aimed at Da Boyz! Shiver me top mast!
Wow, the cancer is news to me, but I have also been anecdotally collecting stories of women who have had tubal libations and ALL of them have hormonal and / or uterine problems. Common problem is lining too thin and painful orgasms etc. But all kinds of problems ensue.
Doctors push these surgical options like they are bandaids to men and women. Men are harder to get into the office, but women having their second or third c section are automatically encouraged to have their Fallopian tubes closed off at the same time. They even thought I was going to have that, when I was not even carrying a baby from my own egg, already clearly infertile. Um, no thanks, chop happy docs!
