For moms, March Madness
is the home full of spring-breakers, shuttling them from events and sleepovers,
to preparing several meals, etc. In addition,
March Madness gives way to husbands and boyfriends wanting to take off work to sit
on the couch and cheer on their favorite teams. According to
several studies and sources, doctors treat the greatest number of men for vasectomy during March Madness. That’s right I said it...vasectomy!
Over the last few years, urologists report seeing an
almost 50% increase in appointments around the time of March Madness. That
takes balls! Vasectomy is a surgical procedure for males that prevents
pregnancy, and involves severing, tying and sealing the vasa deferentia to
prevent sperm from fertilizing eggs. You’re wondering why on earth there’s a
correlation between March Madness and vasectomy? The procedure is a perfect
excuse for men to recover, that is, lay guilt-free on the couch, binge eating,
drinking, and watching basketball until their heart’s content. The procedure
requires a consultation that cannot be performed same day as the snipping. Following the consult, the procedure is
scheduled and typically requires a 24 to 72 hour window of recovery since you’re
immobile, just enough time to watch the tournament.
The trend of being able to get off work for this
procedure is becoming so common, that urologists nationwide are starting to
offer packages, no pun intended. Some New York, Iowa, New Orleans and Cape Cod
clinics offer the March Madness special, which includes unlimited television
and pizza, ice packs and a bell – doctor’s orders. While I cringe at the thought of the
procedure, I guess we can’t blame men for this responsible and brilliant ploy
for binge watching, especially since it allows their recovery time to whiz by!
