I really have no idea as to why this topic is the subject of research any longer!
The latest study was done in the south of England – nobody asked me 
and unlike the Maryland study discussed a few posts back, this was a database trawl of medical records.
The pattern of research findings is so obvious it’s untrue! As I’ve said many times, medical record trawls that look at if the man has had a) a vasectomy, and b) some form of prostate cancer always reveal no association between the two. Whereas self reporting done via questionnaires usually does suggest an association.
As per the pattern, this study concludes that there is no elevation of risk after vasectomy of prostate and other cancers. In addition, the researchers found no association between vasectomy and coronary heart disease. The authors state that “Our findings add to the evidence that vasectomy is not associated with an increase in the long-term risk of these diseases”.
