                            <p>Klinik olarak varikosel tanısı konulan olgularda ve sağlıklı erkeklerde: renkli Doppler ultrasonografi bulgularının, testis hacimlerinin, sperm yoğunluğu-hareketinin, hormon seviyelerinin ve rezistivite-pulsatilite index’lerinin değerlendirilmesi hedeflendi. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya fizik muayene ile varikosel tanısı konulan 100 olgu ve kontrol grubu olarak 20 sağlıklı kişi dahil edildi. Olguların fizik muayenesi yapıldıktan sonra gri skala-Doppler ultrasonografi, semen ve hormon analizi tetkikleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Doppler ultrasonografinin, subklinik varikosel tanısında önemli yeri olduğu ve klinik olarak varikosel tanısı alan olgularda fizik muayene ile benzer tanısal etkinliği olduğu saptandı. Hasta grupta testis hacimlerinin ve sperm sayıhareketinin azaldığı bulundu (p0.05). Sonuç: Varikosel tanısında fizik muayene ve renkli Doppler ultrasonografi birlikte uygulanmalıdır. Özellikle subklinik varikosel tanısında renkli Doppler ultrasonografi daha değerli bilgiler vermektedir. Testishacimlerine ve spermatogeneze varikoselin olumsuz etkisi olmaktadır</p></trans-abstract>

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 100 case subjects with varicocele diagnosis made by physical examination and a healthy control group of 20 volunteers. After the physical examination of case subjects were done: gray scale-color Doppler ultrasonography, semen analysis and hormone analysis of the subjects were made and the results were evaluated. Results: It was found that color Doppler ultrasonography has an important role in detection of subclinical varicocele. For clinically diagnosed cases of varicocele, the results of color Doppler ultrasonography was similar to physical examination. It was detected that testicular volumes and sperm count-motility were decreased in the patient group (p0.05).Conclusion: In varicocele diagnosis, physical examination and color Doppler ultrasonography should be performed together. Particularly in subclinical varicocele diagnosis, color Doppler ultrasonography is useful. Adverse effect of varicocele on testicular volumes and spermatogenesis was detected.
