Does a vasectomy increase the risk for prostate cancer

Does a vasectomy increase the risk for prostate cancer?
It was reported once on TV News that a vasectomy increases the risk of prostate cancer. Some people immediately rejected the idea while others did not.

I've worked for a urologist for two years...they do vasectomies as well as deal with prostate cancer and I have never heard of this before so I would say definately not.
2 :
Well, I had a vascetomy and I didn't notice a vas deference in my chances.
3 :
My doctor says no. The only reason this supposedly came up was because getting a vasectomy will make you more likely (age, etc.) to be screened, hence more people found with prostate cancer have had a vasectomy. Made sense to me.
4 :
No, it doesn't. There was a study years ago that seemed to indicate that it might but it turned out that the data was misinterpreted by the media. I'm sorry I don't have more details--this came second hand from my own doctor.

If that was even slightly true, their would be no males left on this orb, called earth. All dead from prostate cancer. And at fifteen??? Someone is putting the fear of Hell into you - - - - you? Peace.
2 :
If anything, regular ejaculation is suspected to slightly decrease your risk.
3 :
Are you really concerned? Because a concern person would not have to ask that question? The real question is am I willing to stop masturbation to save my own life? Lycopene is one of the things that men lack in their diets that could lead to prostate cancer. It's your diet and exercise and number of sexually transmitted disease a man incures during a life time that determines if he gets prostate cancer. Man sure that your family has health insurance and that you have insurance when you become an adult. Go get regular male check ups. Eat healthy and stop thinking about sex so much. Live more, worry less.
4 :
Why are you so worried about getting prostate cancer from masturbating once a day? The more you masturbate, the less chance that you are going to have prostate cancer. I suggest that you type in "Male Masturbation" in your Yahoo Search, and find some websites all about masturbation. It will tell you all about it. You need to stop worrying about this.

Although you may develop hairs on your palms ( lol ), there is no way you will develop prostate or any other cancer from that habit.

Stricture is a narrowing. In a patient with prostate cancer this can be stricture of the urethra due to surgery for the cancer, radiation therapy etc.
