چکیده
Introduction: Varicocele is defined as dilated and tortuous veins in the pampiniform network. This study aims to compare somatometric indices in patients with grade III varicocele with non-varicocele patients.Methods: This case-control study was conducted on patients referred to the Urology Department and Clinic of Razi Medical Education Center in Rasht. The subjects of the case group were patients with grade III varicocele. The control group was other patients referred to the clinic and urology department, in whom varicocele was not diagnosed. All subjects were evaluated in terms of gynecomastia, BMI, height, weight, penis length, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), as well as varicose leg disease and inguinal hernia and its relationship with grade III varicocele.Results: In this study, ۱۹۲ patients were compared in two groups of patients with gradeⅢ varicocele (n=۹۶) and non-varicocele patients (n=۹۶). There was a significant difference in the mean height between the two groups (P-value=۰.۰۰۱). But there was no statistically significant difference in the BMI (P-value=۰.۸۵۶), waist-to-hip circumference (P-value=۰.۱۱۷), and waist circumference (P-value=۰.۳۶۳) in the two studied groups. On the other hand, the average length of the penis in afflicted subjects was significantly upper (P-value=۰.۰۴۱) and gynecomastia was more prevalent in this group (P-value=۰.۰۰۸)Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that patients with grade III varicocele are significantly taller and have significantly longer penis lengths and a higher incidence of gynecomastia than those without this disease.کلیدواژه ها
