They Say Watching Basketball Tournament Is Good Way To Recover; One Clinic Even Offers Pizza And Peas
ORLAND PARK, Ill. (CBS) ― Are you a man planning to have a vasectomy? Urologists say this is the perfect time, as March Madness is set to start.

Urologists say men should get vasectomies three days before the college basketball tournaments begin. They have been encouraging this for years.

That way, they will have an excuse to sit in front of the TV and watch the games, all in the name of recuperation.

Doctors at one Chicago-area urology clinic are even throwing in freebies.

The doctors at 21st Century Urology in Orland Park are offering free pizza and a free bag of frozen peas to help with the swelling.

"Just think, the perfect excuse to sit around, relax, and enjoy the games!" the clinic says on its Web site.

The clinic has also been advertising their pizza-and-peas promotion on local sports radio.

The urologists at the clinic, Dr. Robert Bonzani and Dr. Tony Mammen, bill themselves on their Facebook page as "the go-to guys for vasectomy in the Chicago area." They specialize in vasectomies that don't require scalpels.

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development says a total of about 50 million men have undergone a vasectomy, which corresponds to about 5 percent of all married couples of reproductive age worldwide.

I can't believe it is only 5%!

How appropriate-A bag of peas to put on the pee bag. What's up with that? Are peas more effective than frozen mixed vegetables or corn or crushed ice or a cold beer between the legs? But whatever gimmick works to prevent unwanted babies is fine by me.

But then there's this line: Dr. Robert Bonzani and Dr. Tony Mammen, bill themselves on their Facebook page as "the go-to guys for vasectomy in the Chicago area." They specialize in vasectomies that don't require scalpels.

So if scalpels are not required, would a guy still need the frozen peas?

yeah, I still think they need to ice it down from all the swelling that does happen.
I like this March Madness vasectomy special.

LOL, sounds like a great deal to me. Wish they'd do the same kinda promo for women with tubals.

My husband had his 2 year ago, and had to ice it down because of the swelling, and it helps with any discomfort. They recommed peas because they don't have corners.

Peas conform to the shape of whatever needs cooling. I heartily agree that all women who want tubals should get them and watch women's basketball in March. Perhaps I will celebrate my tubal anniversary that way.

Since my DH hates sports as much as I do, this promotion wouldn't work. Maybe he'd be influenced by a month-long marathon of aviation documentaries on the Science Channel or similar.

I love the idea. Too funny!
