The Top Misleading Facts About Cancer Causes

Vasectomies Cause Prostate Cancer

In 1993, men all around the world worried about their health when a credible and careful study by the Harvard Professionals Follow-up group indicated that men who had vasectomies were one and one-half times more likely to develop prostate cancer than men who had not. Since then, many studies have debunked the myth by failing to find a similar link. According to the National Cancer Institute and the American Urological Association, having a vasectomy does not increase a man’s risk of prostate cancer. Therefore, if a man would like to have the procedure done, he does not need to worry about developing prostate cancer for taking control of his reproductive options.
