Letter: A snip of danger?

Published 9 August 2003

From Ken Smith

The article on masturbation and prostate cancer has highlighted a concern that I and many other men who have had a vasectomy will find worrying (19 July, p 15).

Having had the snip, our seminal fluids are now absorbed into our bodies instead of being ejected. Does this mean that we are now more susceptible to a variety of different cancers?
