- 摘要:
- 精索静脉曲张从青少年时期开始发病,可影响男性青少年的性发育和生殖健康,导致成年后的生育障碍。在成年人中,受孕率及精液参数是评估精索静脉曲张后果的直接指标,但在青少年群体中难以获得类似的评估指标。超声作为一项无创且成本较低的技术,其提供的一系列参数(如精索静脉血流返流峰值、睾丸萎缩指数和睾丸组织硬度等)在青少年精索静脉曲张的诊断、分型、预测疾病发展以及预后评估等方面作用巨大。本文对超声诊断技术在青少年精索静脉曲张中的临床应用进行综述。
- Abstract:
- Varicocele typically develops during adolescence and can affect sexual development and reproductive health in male adolescents,potentially leading to fertility issues in adulthood.In adult,pregnancy rates and semen parameters are direct indicators of the consequences of varicocele; however,similar evaluation metrics are challenging to obtain in adolescents.Ultrasound imaging,as a non-invasive and cost-effective technique,provides a range of parameters (such as peak reflux velocity in the spermatic veins,testicular atrophy index,and testicular tissue stiffness) that play a significant role in the diagnosis,classification,disease progression prediction,and prognostic evaluation of adolescent varicocele.This review summarizes the clinical applications of ultrasound diagnostic techniques in adolescent varicocele.
