Abstract
The effect of vasectomy on prostatic function has been investigated. Maltase activity and the fructose content were determined in the seminal plasma of individuals vasectomized one to two years before the study commenced. The results of this study revealed that the maltase activity in the semen of vasectomized individuals (11.7 ± 2.0) was significantly lower when compared to the levels observed in the non-vasectomized men (28.7 ± 2.9). The fructose content, however, remained unchanged after the operation. The clinical significance of this observation has been discussed.
