Andrology. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.1111/andr.13629. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Testicular volume is a marker of male pubertal development. Various clinical conditions and their treatments may influence testicular growth. OBJECTIVES: To create ruler-based age-dependent pubertal testicular volume references that enable calculation of standard deviation (SD) scores. MATERIALS AND…
