In over 30 years of practice, Dr. Errol Billinkoff rarely saw a man without kids come into his Winnipeg clinic to get a vasectomy. But since the pandemic began, he says it's become an almost daily occurrence.
And he's not alone.
"At first, I thought I was the only one who was noticing this," Billinkoff, who brought a no-scalpel vasectomy procedure to Winnipeg in the early 1990s, told CBC News in a November interview.
"But I am part of an international chat group where doctors who do vasectomies participate and the topic came up, and it's like everybody notices it."
Got one beginning of this year. Still mild ball pain or discomfort sometimes. Still glad I did it.
Damn, what procedure did you get? I had the no needle/scalpel procedure and was basically fine the next day. A couple minor moments of discomfort the first week, then smooth sailing from there.
