Vasectomy Procedures Rise Roughly 50 Percent During March Madness

Coincidence? We think not. Think about it: What better chance do you have at watching the games in peace than being laid up for several, uninterrupted days on the couch?

According to CNN, urologists around the country seem to experience drastic spikes in the number of vasectomies being booked in March due to the 68-team college basketball tournament. Other urologists who are booked solid year-round, such as Dr. Philip Werthman in Los Angeles, California, say that they also notice a jockeying for coveted time slots prior to the start of the NCAA tournament, with patients calling well in advice to book a time.

Dr. Ed Sabanegh, chairman of the Department of Urology at the Cleveland Clinic, says that during the month of March, his practice experiences “about 50 percent more vasectomies than in other months.” Elsewhere in Ohio, a major clinic reports that they perform somewhere between 40 and 50 more procedures during this same time.

While the American Urological Association still refuses to acknowledge the link between March Madness and vasectomies, we think it seems pretty clear that when it comes to watching basketball, a man’s cunning knows no bounds.
