So I've long been considering a vasectomy, and discovered the other day that 15% of men who had a vasectomy have an increased risk of prostate cancer according to one study (link here). I found this out after I was thinking "wait, doesn't research say that clearing your prostate regularly reduces your chances or prostate cancer?"
Anyway, so now that I've found this out, I'm a little less keen to get the snip. I will obviously go speak to medical experts before making my final decision, but it's definitely made me a little less eager to rush out and get it done.
This being said, I know a couple of friends who have never bothered with condoms as their long-term girlfriends are on the pill. I know the pill is pretty damn effective, but was wondering what people's experiences have been in regards to birth control, and whether you've had any woopsies or not?
