Abstract
In cases of varicocele, the clinical diagnosis is based on the nature of the scrotal varicosis and its associated characteristics, which may be as important in diagnosing this disease as the peculiar findings of the veins themselves. These characteristics are scrotal asthenia and low and horizontal position of the affected testicle, which is diminished in size and altered in consistency depending on the duration and degree of the vascular disturbance. Inguinal hernias, hemorrhoids, varicosis of the legs, and the overall leptosomatic constitution of the patients are further indications.
