In order to answer the rumor of the side effect several years after vasectomy and also to improve the acceptance of vasectomy, National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN) and another Family Planning Centers would respond to this problem. The objective of this study is to obtain information on the differences of serum lipid levels, testicular and prostate size among vasectomized men in different time period and non vasectomy a cross sectional study had been done to compare the profile of total lipid, volume and other condition of testis and prostate on the vasectomized men and non vasectomy. Data were collected at Semarang municipality Central Java by questionnaire. Analyzed were done by Anova. Samples were devided into 4 groups : 1. non vasectomy (men will be vasectomized), II. 12-23 months post vasectomy, III. 24-35 months post vasectomy, IV. more than 36 months post vasectomy.
