varicocele/obesity

To determine whether a relationship between obesity and varicocele occurrence exists, the prevalence and severity of varicoceles related to obesity were investigated in a general population of young males. A total of 1050 young males attending the Navy Recruit Training Center were evaluated from

OBJECTIVE Research shows that obese patients have a lower incidence of varicoceles. Increased adipose tissue, which makes physical examination difficult, was hypothesized to be the cause. We evaluated the varicocele incidence on routine scrotal ultrasound to see whether difficult physical

OBJECTIVE How do day and night scrotal temperatures, spermatogenesis parameters, sex hormones and intratesticular perfusion in obese men and men with a varicocele compare with healthy controls? CONCLUSIONS Compared with healthy controls, 24-h monitoring of scrotal temperature in men with a

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) and spermatic vein diameters (SVDs) in men treated for varicocele. METHODS One hundred fourteen men who underwent scrotal color duplex ultrasounds prior to microsurgical varicocelectomy were classified as normal (BMI = 18.5-24.9),

BACKGROUND While many studies have been conducted investigating the efficacy of varicocele treatment on fertility, the literature is comparatively sparse concerning the association between varicocele, varicocelectomy, and erectile dysfunction (ED). OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate the

Among the causes of male infertility, the varicocele accounts for 40%. Videolaparoscopic varicocelectomy was used for the treatment of 800 men as day surgery cases. The operation enabled high bilateral ligation, with an average operating time of 1.5 hours. Operative difficulties were minor being

This study evaluated the effect of retroperitoneal adipose tissue on testicular venous drainage and tested the nutcracker phenomenon by clinical and imaging findings. A total of 95 patients were included. The patients were evaluated with a detailed medical history and physical examination for

Obesity is associated with significant disturbance in the hormonal milieu that can affect the reproductive system. Male infertility affects approximately 6% of reproductive-aged men. It has been suggested that overweight men or men with obese body mass index (BMI) experience prolonged time to

To evaluate the anthropometric indexes in subjects with varicocele compared to controls and the incidence of varicocele in different body mass index (BMI) groups for the purpose of exploring the association between varicocele and anthropometric indexes. A comprehensive literature search was

OBJECTIVE To study the impact of obesity, age and varicocele on sexual hormones of adult and elderly men. METHODS 875 men who were screened for prostate cancer were enrolled in this study. Data recorded comprised age, body mass index (BMI), serum levels of total testosterone (TT), free testosterone

OBJECTIVE Despite many studies published in recent years concerning the relationship between demographic factors and varicocele, this issue remains controversial. The aim of this study was to identify a possible influence of body mass index (BMI) and height on occurrence varicocele in
