Is self-measuring of testicular volume by a Prader orchidometer a valid method?
In this study, we compared sperm donors' and donor candidates' self-measured testicular volumes with testicular volumes obtained by an experienced examiner and investigated the association between the testicular volumes obtained by both methods and semen characteristics. We found that the participants obtained valid measurements of their own testicular volumes.
