Do vasectomies have any effect on prostate cancer?
A.It was stated in the past that men who had vasectomies were at an increased risk for prostate cancer, but this subsequently has been disproved. It was a myth. What seems to be true is that vasectomies are more likely to be seen by a urologist and if a urologist sees them, then they are more likely to be screened and have early detection of prostate cancer.
