For Debate: Testicular Volume Development along Ages: Evaluation by Different Methods.
In the last five decades an increasing number of studies and clinical reports demonstrated the importance of testicular volume assessment in pediatric and adolescent population. Reliable and accurate determination of testicular volume (TV) through infancy and adolescence is of great importance for assessing normal pubertal development to diagnose disturbances in development and to suspect certain genetic and endocrine diseases. Various approaches are available for the assessment of TV, including orchidometry, rulers, callipers, and ultrasonography (USG). Our report focuses on the importance of the evolution of TV from birth to adulthood and debates the main factors influencing the accuracy of different TV measurements. We endorse that any method for the evaluation of TV must satisfy certain criteria: a. be applicable to persons of all ages from pre-adolescence, through the pubertal spurt to full maturity, b. be simple to use, c. be free from observer error as possible, and d. have a high degree of correlation with other observable developmental characteristics.
