are prostate issues caused by vasectomy
A Vasectomy May Increase Prostate Cancer Risk. Men with vasectomies may be at an increased risk for the most lethal form of prostate cancer, researchers have found. But aggressive cancer nonetheless remains rare in these patients. Earlier studies had hinted at a connection between vasectomies and prostate cancer. Because vasectomies are usually performed on men who are in their thirties and forties at the time of the procedure, several decades of life remain after vasectomy during which long-term effects on health might manifest themselves. Bladder Outlet Obstruction. The most common cause of a bladder outlet obstruction is an enlarged prostate. Additional causes include can include prostate cancer, narrowing of the urethra or bladder outlet scarring from infection, injury or surgery or bladder stones. A vasectomy can be performed in a man without separate concern for an enlarged prostate. The vasectomy should not cause any prostate problems. Indeed, if the vasectomy is done by a urologist, as it is standardly done, that same urologist can provide total care for the prostate, should any independent prostate difficulty arise. The implications of these findings on changes in the secretory function of the prostate after vasectomy remain unknown. Further epidemiologic research on noncancerous prostatic disease in vasectomized men, in particular the relationship of the changes noted already to benign prostatic hypertrophy, would be of interest. Vasectomy can absolutely be done on someone with a large prostate without problems or complications. Fortunately, the prostate is quite 'far' away, anatomically, from where a vasectomy is performed, so there is no issue with either. I too have had a vasectomy, but I had my first run-ins with prostatitis before the vasectomy. I date my chronic prostatitis (continuous symptoms for 9 years now) to the time I was catheterized for unrelated back surgery. I think the catheter introduced drug-resistant, hospital-bred bacteria into my prostate. Globally, prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer in men. In the United States it is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men; twice as common in 2013 as the next leading cause (lung and bronchus cancer). This is the most common type of prostatitis. It may be exacerbated by stress and/or irregular sexual activity. Stress may cause the pelvis muscles to tighten and cause pain. Increased pressure during voiding may cause urine to back up into the prostate ducts resulting in inflammation (a form of chemical prostatitis). Many patients report that their chronic prostatitis problems began after they had a vasectomy. Doctors and scientists have not provided any evidence which firmly disproves or proves that vasectomy can lead to chronic prostatitis. As is usual with issues unresolved by science, we're not going to tell you what to think, but just present the several arguments and let you make up your own mind.
