First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at whether having an orgasm within 36 hours before prostate cancer surgery makes the seminal vesicles smaller and easier for the surgeon to remove. About 40 men will be randomly assigned to either ejaculate or abstain before their operation. The results could help surgeons plan better and possibly shorten surgery time.
