Abstract Clinical assessment of scrotal contents in patients with infertility has relied mainly on physical examination.Color Doppler ultrasonography (US) is generally not performed as a routine examination. However, physical examination might miss many abnormalities readily detected by US, including testicular tumor and testicular microlithiasis (TM). We assessed the value of scrotal color Doppler ultrasonography as a routine examination in infertile men compared with findings by physical examination. Scrotal Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed in 314 infertile men with a mean age of (25±5.4) years to detect intrascrotal abnormalities. Findings were compared with those of physical examination.
