It was reported once on TV News that a vasectomy increases the risk of prostate cancer. Some people immediately rejected the idea while others did not.

does having a vasectomy possibly affect the development of prostate cancer? any websites/data would be helpful

Wondering if a vasectomy increases chance for prostate cancer, urinary problems etc.
We are wondering if a vasectomy increases chance for prostate cancer, urinary problems etc. This ques is being asked in relation to the Endocrine system etc…Kind of like when a woman has a hystorectomy early in life and it effects her hormal levels extremly. Male Menopause is something new that they are learning more about due to Hormonal levels being altered. We are not worried about the procedure. We thought someone might have more information regarding “Natural Alternative Thought” and the Vasectomy. Thanks to you all !!!
