Several recent studies have reported a gradual decline in sperm production in men. Endocrine disrupters as well as lifestyle have been suggested as risk factors. One lifestyle factor that may affect human fertility is driving a vehicle for a prolonged period. Several authors have suggested that driving position may increase the scrotal temperature. In order to validate this hypothesis we conduc...

Background: Scrotal calcinosis is an uncommon lesion characterized by multiple calcific deposits within scrotal skin and often misdiagnosed clinically as epidermal cyst. Case: In this article, we described a scrotal calcinosis in a 19-year-old man in whom calcified nodules without evidence of epithelialized lining were seen both in dermis and within the bundles of dartos muscle. Additionally, t...

Abdomino-scrotal hydrocele is a condition usually affecting children. It is unusual to find an abdomino-scrotal hydrocele in middle aged adult. Most of the patients are asymptomatic except cystic abdominal mass and discomfort occasionally. We hereby report an unusual presentation of abdomino-scrotal hydrocele at age of 35 years and presenting as large cystic abdominal mass extending into scrotum.

Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is an uncommon benign disorder of the scrotal skin which is characterized by multiple calcified intradermal nodules. We report a 33-year old with asymptomatic multiple calcified scrotal skin nodules. He had wide excision of the lesions and direct closure of the scrotum. We review the pathogenesis and surgical treatment options for this rare disease of the scrotum.

Subjects and methods This prospective study was conducted on 40 pa...

Quantitative histology of the descended testis of unilateral cryptorchid bucks was compared with testis of normal bucks to evaluate the reproductive potentials of the scrotal testis in unilateral cryptorchids, using light microscopy techniques. The contralateral scrotal testes of the unilateral cryptorchids and the testes of the normal bucks contained profiles of seminiferous epithelium and eac...
