[Subclinical varicocele: detection using Doppler and thermography].
We think that we must find out a varicocele in every case of oligospermia, asthenospermia and teratospermia, particularly with spindle-shaped spermatozoa. If the clinical examination remains negative, it is necessary to provoke a backflow at the Doppler by carrying out a Valsalva's maneuver. If the obtained result is positive, we must then make a high ligature on the left vena spermatica. It seems that the bursae thermography has a prognostic value on the spermogramme's evolution following a subclinical varicocele cure.
