Vasectomies can be a touchy subject. However, those considering taking this step might be surprised to learn that March Madness is the most popular time of the year for scheduling a vasectomy.
That’s because the sterilization procedure, which involves the snipping of the vas deferens, requires a few days of rest on the couch – despite being a quick (20-30 minute) outpatient procedure.
