Correlation between Testicular Hemodynamic and Semen Quality Indices in Clinical Varicocele Patients in Pakistan

Table 4

Correlation coefficient (r) between semen quality parameters with indices of testicular blood flow pattern in varicocele patients (n = 60).

Parameter		Sub-capsular Artery		Intra-parenchymal Artery
		PSV	RI	PSV	RI
Sperm count	r	0.080	0.02	0.085	-0.15
	p	0.54	0.88	0.52	0.24
Progressive motility	r	0.050	-0.236	-0.205	-0.28
	p	0.70	0.070	0.117	0.029
Non-progressive motility	r	0.224	0.035	-0.104	-0.206
	p	0.085	0.793	0.429	0.114
Immotile	r	0.027	0.136	0.173	0.199
	p	0.81	0.299	0.186	0.128
Morphology	r	0.185	-0.061	-0.14	-0.156
	p	0.156	0.644	0.287	0.234

p, PSV, and RI stand for probability value, peak systolic velocity, and resistive index, respectively.
