| Popis: | Some alterations in plasma testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone have been reported post-vasectomy. Long-term studies are needed to determine whether prolonged vas deferens ligation alters hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal function in any fashion. Nine men were studied in a longitudinal prospective manner and no alteration of plasma testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, luteinizing hormone, or follicle-stimulating hormone was noted for as long as 2.5 years after vasectomy. This study is at variance with previously published reports which have shown some minor alterations in these hormones. |
