our data indicate 1 ) the expressed prostatic secretion of most normal men is alkaline ( mean ph 7.31 ) , 2 ) with prostatic infection the ph of prostatic fluid increases markedly ( mean ph 8.34 ) and , therefore , drugs shown to diffuse into the canine prostate may be ineffective in treating prostatitis in humans and 3 ) the increase in ph of the expressed prostatic secretion seen with infection is not simply owing to an increase in the relative concentration of alkaline seminal vesicular components .
