[Doppler flowmetry measurements in testicular artery of aging men].

AIM
Testicular artery Doppler flow measurements in aging males were performed for the evaluation of eventual disorders of vascular flow in vessels supplying the testes.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
40 men aged between 51 and 80 years (studied group) and 40 healthy men aged below 40 (control group) were examined. The volume of testes and qualitative flow indices (S: D, PI, RI) in terminal section of testicular artery were measured. The difference between particular values obtained in both groups and the correlation of those parameters with testes volume and patients' age was determined.


RESULTS
PI and RI values were significantly higher in studied group when compared to the control one. The correlation coefficient between values of flow indices and testes volume as same as patients' age appeared to be unsignificant in all cases with the only exception in case of S: D and testes volume in studied group.


CONCLUSION
The values of qualitative flow indices indicate the increased vascular resistance in testicular artery of aging males.
