“…Conflicting reports have appeared regarding the effects of vasectomy on testicular size. Lee (1967), Hacket (1973) and Hulka and Davis (1973) observed no abnormal changes in weight following vasectomy and reported that vasectomy does not interfere with testicular function in men.…”

A growing body of literature supports the observed association between lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual dysfunction. The causal relationship between these two conditions has not been determined. Ejaculatory function is an important aspect of sexual functioning, and recent studies have shown a high prevalence of this ejaculatory dysfunction in men with lower urinary tract symptoms. Furthermore, the degree of bother associated with ejaculatory dysfunction is quite high, making it an important problem for patients. Thus, health care providers should have a heightened sense of awareness for the presence of ejaculatory dysfunction and appropriate patient counseling should be undertaken before initiation of specific treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms.

At the beginning of this century it was used as an alternative to castration in the treatment of prostatic infections; it was also legalized in the United States at around the same time for the sterilization of criminals and the mentally handicapped.…”

Does vasectomy have long‐term effects on somatic and psychological health status?

All the major international articles on the somatic and psychological consequences of vasectomy published over the last 10 years have been reviewed and analysed. Although some experiments on animals have revealed harmful effects, none of the large-scale epidemiological studies has pointed to any increase in health risks (cardiovascular, hypertensive, psychiatric) in vasectomized men. The contradictions which arise between the clinical and large-scale epidemiological studies may be the result of methodological or experimental conditions. As our knowledge stands at present it can therefore be considered that vasectomy has no major effects on the physical or mental health of men.
