National Media Report Possible Increase in Vasectomy Procedures Linked to Worsening Economy

Vasectomy.com included as resource; has noted increase in visits, appointments

Laguna Niguel, CA, April 22, 2009 - Vasectomy.com®, the free, authoritative patient information resource about vasectomy, vasectomy reversal procedures and related options, has noted that interest in vasectomy procedures appears to be on the rise in correlation to the worsening U.S. economic situation.

"Compared to 2008 data, traffic to Vasectomy.com’s physician profile pages is up 40% and visits to the site’s sperm bank are up 17.5% in the first quarter of 2009." says Maya Wank, chief operating officer, Vasectomy.com. "This activity might indicate that consumers are doing more than simply gathering information - they are likely ready to take action."

This apparent trend has been noted by several prominent news organizations, as evidenced by recent press coverage including the following articles:
