March is vasectomy season (really) and to honor the occasion, Dr. Mills is joined by leading urologist Dr. Jay Sandlow—one of the architects behind modern vasectomy guidelines—for a candid, myth-busting conversation about one of the most common (and misunderstood) procedures in men’s health. Together, they break down who should consider a vasectomy, what actually happens during the procedure, and why it remains far safer and more effective than many alternatives—while still being surprisingly underutilized. Along the way, they tackle the biggest fears and misconceptions, from sex drive and testosterone to rare complications and recovery, giving listeners a clear, honest roadmap for making an informed decision.
