This study was conducted to evaluate morphometrically the microscopic components of the testis in cases of varicocele, the leading cause of male infertility, with the aim to identify consistent differences from controls. In our specimens of patients with varicocele, the vascular and interstitial fractions, as well as the Leydig cell count, were significantly increased. Our data support the notion that the interstitium is the testicular compartment most consistently affected and that the damage to the tubules is erratic and probably late.
本研究旨在对精索静脉曲张(男性不育的主要原因)患者睾丸的微观组成部分进行形态测量评估,以确定与对照组之间的持续差异。在我们的精索静脉曲张患者标本中,血管和间质部分以及睾丸间质细胞计数均显著增加。我们的数据支持这样一种观点,即间质是睾丸中最常受到影响的部分,而曲细精管的损伤是不稳定的,而且可能较晚出现。
