Dr Brad Bowins believes that men’s health issues are often neglected and nowhere is this more so than in the case of vasectomy. As both a general medical practitioner and psychiatrist he has diagnosed and treated men suffering from a wide variety of conditions. Good listening and interview skills enable him to access those personal narratives suffering men are often too ashamed to talk about, such as with Post-Vasectomy Pain Syndrome. His diligent and insightful psychiatric research has advanced knowledge of psychological defense mechanisms. Applied to vasectomy his research reveals the fundamentally flawed theoretical and practical nature of vasectomy.
