Relationship between testicular size by ultrasonography and testicular function: Measurement of testicular length, width, and depth in patients with infertility

Objectives:  The relationships between simple testicular sizes, including the testicular length, width, and depth and testicular function were evaluated to determine the usefulness of measuring these simple parameters.
