Objective Measurement of Testicular Volume in Eastern Indian Population Using Ultrasonography and Comparison with Orchidometer Estimates
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract: Testicular function has a direct correlation with testicular volume. Reduction in testicular size results in disturbed spermatogenesis. Therefore, accurate measurement of testicular volume is important .The aim of the study was to measure normal testicular volume of eastern Indian population by US and to compare with Orchidmeter estimates.Between1st November 2016 to 30th June 2017 total 304 patients; those were not suffering from any testicular disease or trauma studied. Volume of both testes was measured using US and PraderOrchidmeter. Patients were divided into four age groups (16-25, 26-35,36-45, 46 and above). US volume of the left testis was 9.48 - 22.7 ml (mean 16.56 ml) and right 9.62 - 23.21 ml (mean 16.91 ml). Prader volume of left testis was 10 - 22.5 ml (mean 17.06 ml,) and right 10 - 22.5 ml (mean 17.15 ml). Here the difference of mean between RTUV (Rt testis US volume) and RTPV (Rt testis Prader volume) and between LTUV (Lt testis US volume) and LTPV (Lt testis Prader volume) are not statistically significant.The Pearson correlation in between RTUV with RTPV and LTUV with LTPV were positive and statistically significant (p<0.001) in all age groups.This study reveals strong correlation between US and PraderOrchidmeter measured testicular volume and difference of mean volume of each testis measured by either method are not statistically significant.so like USG, PraderOrchidmeter might provide a useful estimate of testicular size and testicular volume of eastern Indian population correlate with data of foreign literature. Keywords: Testicular volume, PraderOrchidmeter, US Volume.
