Abstract
Objectives:
To assess the effect of varicoceles on testicular blood flow in man.
Methods:
Testicular blood flow was measured in 248 consecutive men attending an infertility clinic and 34 fertile volunteers using color duplex ultrasonography.
Results:
The testicular blood flow of men with either clinical and/or subclinical varicoceles was not significantly different from controls without varicoceles.
Conclusions:
Varicoceles do not significantly alter testicular blood flow in man.
