[Infra-red thermography testicular studies of patients with short spermatic cords and quality of sperm morphology].
116 patients with too short spermatic cords were examined by infra-red thermography and semen analysis. Examinations of semen included number, mobility, viability and pathological forms of spermatozoa. The values of the thermographic index of scrotum were compared with the control parts of the body. The incidence of hyperthermia of scrotum in observed men was 79%. In analysis of semen there were 79% teratozo-ospermia, 73% oligozoospermia, 59% astenozoospermia and good viability in 70%. We suppose that hyperthermia of scrotum in infra-red thermography, oligoteratozoospermia in semen analysis and no progress in pharmacological treatment may be an excellent qualification method for surgical treatment of too short spermatic cords.
