BACKGROUND AND AIMS There are anecdotal reports that men who wear (Scottish) kilts have better sperm quality and better fertility. But how much is true? Total sperm count and sperm concentration reflect semen quality and male reproductive potential. It has been proven that changes in the scrotal temperature affect spermatogenesis. We can at least affirm that clothing increases the scrotal tempe...

the objective of this study was to investigate whether or not the adverse effects of heat on sperm quality could be prevented by green tea extract (gte) administration. ninety adult male mice were randomly divided to two groups. the scrotum of each animal in the first group was immersed once for 20 min in a water bath maintained at 42 oc (heat group, h) and the second group (control group, c) w...

Scrotal oedema associated with dengue fever is a rare and self limiting condition resolving in a few days without any complication or sequelae. This is a report of two cases of dengue fever associated with acute scrotal and penile oedema.

Lelephantiasis peno-scrotal ou lymphoedeme peno scrotal est une pathologie frequente dans les zones dendemie filarienne. En dehors de ce contexte epidemiologique, cette rare detiologies differentes, souvent idiopathique. La gêne fonctionnelle et laspect inesthetique qui en resultent imposent un traitement chirurgical lourd mais avec des resultats fonctionnels satisfaisants. Nous rapportons deu...

Hemospermia is often considered idiopathic. We report a case of a patient who presented with hemospermia. Scrotal examination and ultrasonography found a testis tumor. This case underscores the importance of scrotal examination and eventually ultrasound in patients presenting with hemospermia.

OBJECTIVE Mondor's disease is a superficial thrombophlebitis and usually occurs in the anterior and lateral chest. The scrotal vein thrombosis is a fairly rare disease. METHODS Thirty-four year old male who consulted for inguinal tumor and pain in the postoperative period of an umbilical hernia repair, which resulted in a subsequent scrotal vein thrombosis treated conservatively.

Describe the scrotal surgical approach for abdominoscrotal hydrocele (ASH) with preservation of testicular function with midterm follow-up. Two patients diagnosed with ASH and contralateral testicular abnormalities. Both had scrotal correction for ASH, one had contralateral testicular neonatal torsion and the other contralateral communicating hydrocele. Four-year follow-up no complications or r...

Portability, safety, low cost and efficiency, together with the ability to accurately define pathology rapidly, have made ultrasound the primary imaging modality for evaluation of the scrotum, testis and paratesticular structures. These factors provide for timely diagnosis and treatment. Scrotal ultrasound is particularly helpful when a physical examination is inconclusive or a disease process ...

BACKGROUND Scrotal lymphedema is rare outside endemic filariasis regions in Africa and Asia. It is of variable origin in the western world. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 40-year-old European man with massive elephantiasis of the scrotum attributed to chronic inflammation of the lower urinary tract caused by urinary outlet obstruction and diabetes mellitus. The patient underwent sub...
