Vasectomy
A no scalpel vasectomy is a dependable form of contraception for men who do not want to cause future pregnancy. Sperm are made in the testes and, following maturity, swim through long curly ducts called the epididymides and into the a 30 cm tube called the vasa deferentia prior to entering the urethra, which is the channel in which men urinate and ejaculate from. A vasectomy aims to divide the Vasa deferentia closer to the testes to prevent sperm from entering the semen. About 95% of semen is made from supporting structures (the prostate, bulbourethral gland and seminal vesicles) which are located closer to the urethra. Thus you will still be able to ejaculate.
Skin Cancer
Australia has the unfortunate title of the ‘skin cancer capital of the world’. The rate of skin cancer in Australia is two to three times as common than in Canada, the US or the UK. We see nearly half a million cases of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer every year. In fact, by the time we are 70, two out of three of us will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer. The reason? Our glorious yet powerful sun. Sun exposure is the single most common cause.
These statistics may seem scary, but there is a lot we can do to both prevent and treat skin cancer with early detection. You can reduce your risk of developing skin cancer by wearing sun protection, and avoiding exposure to UV radiation.
