✦ Synopsis

S u m m a r y . To identify the effect of orgasm on serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, a prospective trial before and after orgasm was performed in 14 healthy colleagues aged 3 2 -6 2 years (mean, 44.4 years) with no evidence of prostatic disease. P S A determinations were performed on serum samples obtained before and after orgasm. Significant changes in P S A levels after orgasm were found (P = 0.002, analysis of variance). We conclude that the impact of orgasm on P S A levels should be taken into account when the latter are used for the detection of prostatic disease.
