A 35-year-old father of three tells the nurse that he wants information on a vasectomy. What would the nurse tell him about ejaculate after a vasectomy?

(A) There will be no ejaculate after a vasectomy, though the patients potential for orgasm is unaffected. (B) There is no noticeable decrease in the amount of ejaculate even though it contains no sperm. (C) There is a marked decrease in the amount of ejaculate after vasectomy, though this does not affect sexual satisfaction. (D) There is no change in the quantity of ejaculate after vasectomy, but the viscosity is somewhat increased.Answer Explanation: Seminal fluid is manufactured predominantly in the seminal vesicles and prostate gland, which are unaffected by vasectomy, thus no noticeable decrease in the amount of ejaculate occurs (volume decreases approximately 3%), even though it contains no spermatozoa. The viscosity of ejaculate does not change.
