Abstract


 


In this study we investigated the prevalence of adolescent varicocele in 959 school boys, between 10-19 years old. Asymptomatic healthy male students were evaluated by physical examination and scrotal doppler ultrasonography. Varicocele was found as 31% (298 boys) and 32.2% (308 boy's) by physical examination and doppler USG examination, respectively. Doppler USG was positive in 23.7% (169 boys) on whom physical examination was negative. In 56% (138) of the boys, physical examination findings were positive whereas doppler USG examinations were negative. Of the boy's varicocele found, 154 (51.6%) had left varicocele, 25 (8.3%) had right varicocele and 119 (39.9%) had bilateral varicocele. Of the total varicoceles found, 225 (75.5%) were Grade-I, 54 (18.1%) were Grade-II and 19 (6.3%) were Grade-III. [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1996;3(3):210-212]
