使用便携式数据记录仪监测阴囊温度为24小时，在6名正常志愿者和48例单侧精索静脉曲张不育患者，而受试者进行日常活动。睡眠期间的温度（TS）通常高于白天的值（TD），可能是由于在床上的隔热。发现这些昼夜变化在不育患者中不如志愿者明显（TS - TD = 0.29 ℃ +/- 0.06 ℃ vs 0.88 ℃ +/- 0.12 ℃; P 0.05）。数据支持这样的观点，即精索静脉曲张相关的睾丸损伤是由于缺乏足够的冷却，治疗不能使温度模式正常化。
Scrotal temperature was monitored using a portable data recorder for periods of 24 h in six normal volunteers and 48 infertile patients with unilateral varicocele while subjects pursued their regular daily activities. Temperatures during sleep (TS) were generally higher than daytime values (TD), probably as a consequence of thermal insulation in bed. These diurnal variations were found to be less pronounced in the infertile patients than in volunteers (TS - TD = 0.29 degrees C +/- 0.06 degrees C vs 0.88 degrees C +/- 0.12 degrees C; P 0.05). The data support the view that varicocele-related damage to the testis results from a lack of adequate cooling, and that treatment does not normalize the temperature pattern.
