Abstract

Study was made of the difference of levels of sex hormones in men undergoing surgery for a varicocele on the left. Difference between the levels measured simultaneously by examining blood serum for the determination of sex hormones from the cubital vein and the vein pampiniform plexus. Investigation of sex hormones (testosterone, estradiol, progesterone) were performed in 35 patients with varicocele, operated by the method of Marmar (microsurgical varicocelectomy). The control group took patients who were operated on the scrotum over hydrocele, inguinal hernias, as well as other testicular pathology, not related to a vari^cele (a total 25 people). The highest level of sex hormones observed in patients with varicocele veins pampiniform plexus (in excess of estradiol - a 205.91 +95.29 fold excess of testosterone - 220.96+30.79-fold). In the control group level differences were lower.
