Is your Penis a Barometer to your Heart Health?
Have you heard of the expression “a canary in a coal mine”? The metaphor originates from the times when miners used to carry caged canaries while at work. If there was carbon monoxide in the mine, the canary would die before the levels of the gas reached those hazardous to humans. It is an advance warning of some danger.

Dr. Hotaling: A vasectomy is the most effective form of contraception. It is a simple procedure that is performed in the office with local numbing medication in 10-15 minutes and requires only 10-15 seconds of minor discomfort while the local numbing medication is injected. After this is done, most men can have a conversation with their doctor or watch a movie while the procedure is performed. Over 500,000 men in the United States undergo this procedure every year. It is a durable, proven and simple form of contraception that is permanent and requires only one simple procedure.
