dc.description.abstractPurpose: Aim of this study is define possible factors that could affect testis volume in varicocele patients. Material and Methods: 104 patients who is diagnosed varicocele between November 2013- April 2014 included to study. Patient age, height, weight and smoking habit data's are collected from hospital database retrospectively. Body mass index is calculated by division of weight as kilograms to square of height as meters. And smoking amount is calculated with multiplication of years of smoking and smokes packages per day. Testicular volumes are measured by ultrasonography at time of diagnosis. Statistical analyses are done with Pearson, Spearman's rho, Mann-Whitney-U, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon rank test. Results: Left varicocele degree is associated with left and right testis volume (r=-0,436 p<0,001; r=-0,316 p=0,001). There was no relationship between right varicocele degree and testis volumes (p>0,05). Height, weight and body index mass was not associated with testis volume (p>0,05). Left and right testis volumes were not statistically different between smokers and non-smokers (p=0,163 p=0,513). Age of starting smoking and smoking amount is not associated with testis volumes. Conclusion: Left varicocele degree is associated with decrease in testis volume. There was no relationship between testis volume and body mass index or smoking habit. Early varicocele diagnosis is important to protect testis volume.en_US
