Scrotal thermograph, testes volume and semen analysis were also applied to analysis of these patients. Among sixty-two patients, thirty-one received high ligation of internal spermatic vein. The results showed: 1. The diameter of spermatic veins was negatively correlated with fertility index and positively correlated with Doppler grading of blood reflux. 2. In operative patients, the effect of surgery was better in patients with blood reflux than in those without blood reflux. It was suggested the diameter of spermatic veins probably reflects the duration and serious degree of blood reflux in spermatic vein, and may be used for assessment of severity of male infertility in combination with semen analysis.展开更多
