ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between male primary varicose vein of the lower extremity and varicocele.Methods 100 male patients with varicose vein of the lower extremity were compared with 100 male adults without varicose vein of the lower extremity for the prevalence of varicocele by using ultrasonography.Results There is no difference of demographic data between the two groups (t =1.78,P ＞ 0.05).There were 49 (49.0％) patients found with varicoele in study group compared with 19 (19.0％) patients with varicoele in control group (x2 =20.05,P ＜ 0.01).We compared the rate of varicoele and the mean diameter of spermatic vein between the patients having reflux in the saphenofemoral junction or not,and found there was no statistical difference between themn (rate of varicose P ＞ 0.05,diameter P ＞ 0.05).In patients with both lower extremity varicose vein and varicocele there was a linear correlation between spermatic vein diameter and that of varicose vein (rs =0.407 2,P ＜ 0.01).When patients in study group were classified into six grades by Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology (CEAP) trend chi-square found no difference in the incidence of varicoele (x2 =0.879 8,P ＞ 0.05),nor the mean diameter of spermatic vein in different grades (F =1.59,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion There is a correlation between varicose vein of the lower extremity and the pathogcnesis of varicocele.
