Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of data processing, and in particular to an early screening method for people susceptible to varicocele. Background Art

[0002] The surface temperature of the male scrotal skin is usually about 2°C lower than the core temperature of the human body. The wrinkles of the scrotal skin can help the scrotum dissipate heat better, but the scrotal temperature is often affected by external factors such as sitting posture, clothing, lifestyle, occupation, and the normal degree of scrotal blood vessels. Among the many influencing factors, testicular heat stress has been proven to be one of the main hazards of reduced male fertility, but it is the most easily overlooked.

[0003] Varicocele patients have increased scrotal temperature due to stasis of spermatic vein blood flow, and the difference between the scrotal temperature and the core temperature will also decrease to varying degrees. This high temperature environment of the scrotum is not conducive to the development of testicular cells and affects the testicular spermatogenesis. However, through research, we found that some healthy people also have increased scrotal temperature. The main reason is that the spermatic vein has poor vascular permeability, lack of venous valves, and poor anti-reflux. The prevalence of varicocele in this group of people is much higher than that in other groups. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the specification abstract and the invention title of this application to avoid blurring the purpose of this section, the specification abstract and the invention title, and such simplifications or omissions cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0010] S3. The examinee turns right at 45 degrees, places the tip of the penis against the middle of the abdominal wall with the right hand and points upward, and uses the left hand to push aside the pubic hair.

[0017] The bilateral scrotal surface temperature difference was scored as follows: when the bilateral scrotal temperature difference was 0.5°C < ≤ 1.5°C, the score was 1 point; when the bilateral scrotal temperature difference was > 1.5°C, the score was 2 points.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this method is used for early screening of people susceptible to varicocele. The specific steps are as follows:

[0031] S1. The examinee sits quietly in the examination cabin for 30 minutes, and basic information including age, height and weight is collected;

[0032] S2. The examinee takes off all clothes, stands 1 meter away from the detection probe of the electrophysiological infrared thermal imaging diagnostic instrument, spreads his legs slightly, holds his head with both hands, exposes both armpits, takes the first infrared thermal image, measures the temperature of both armpits, and the average temperature of both armpits represents the core temperature of the body;

[0033] S3. The examinee turns right at 45 degrees, places the tip of the penis against the middle of the abdominal wall with the right hand and points upward, and uses the left hand to push aside the pubic hair. The second infrared thermal image is taken to measure the surface temperature of the left scrotum.

[0034] S4. The examinee turns to the left at 45 degrees, places the tip of the penis against the middle of the abdominal wall with the left hand and points upward, and uses the right hand to push aside the pubic hair. The third infrared thermal image is taken to measure the surface temperature of the right scrotum.

[0035] S5. According to the collected basic information of the examinee, the core temperature of the body, the surface temperature of the left scrotum and the surface temperature of the right scrotum, the temperature difference between the two sides of the scrotum surface, the temperature difference between the core scrotum and the body mass index (BMI) are calculated respectively, and scores are given according to the calculated values ​​of the temperature difference between the two sides of the scrotum surface, the temperature difference between the core scrotum and the body mass index (BMI), and then the three scores are added together to get the total score, and the examinee is determined to be a low-risk group, a medium-risk group or a high-risk group according to the total score.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bilateral scrotal surface temperature difference is specifically calculated as follows: bilateral scrotal surface temperature = the higher temperature of the left scrotal surface temperature and the right scrotal surface temperature - the lower temperature of the left scrotal surface temperature and the right scrotal surface temperature;

[0037] The bilateral scrotal surface temperature difference was scored as follows: when the bilateral scrotal temperature difference was 0.5°C < ≤ 1.5°C, the score was 1 point; when the bilateral scrotal temperature difference was > 1.5°C, the score was 2 points.

[0038] The scrotal core temperature difference was calculated as follows: scrotal core temperature difference = body core temperature - (left scrotal surface temperature + right scrotal surface temperature) / 2;

[0039] The scrotal core temperature difference was scored as follows: when the scrotal core temperature difference was ≥2°C, the score was 0 points; when 1°C < scrotal core temperature difference <2°C, the score was 4 points; and when the scrotal core temperature difference was ≤1°C, the score was 6 points.

[0040] The specific calculation of body mass index (BMI) is as follows: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) 2 ;

[0041] Body mass index (BMI) scores are as follows: When BMI > 23.9 KG / M 2 When the score is 0, when 18.5KG / M 2 ≤BMI≤23.9KG / M 2 When BMI is less than 18.5 kg / m 2 , the score is 2 points.

[0042] The total score is used to determine whether the group is a low-risk group, a medium-risk group, or a high-risk group. Specifically, when the total score is 0-4 points, the group is determined to be a low-risk group; when the total score is 4-8 points, the group is determined to be a medium-risk group; when the total score is 8-10 points, the group is determined to be a high-risk group.

[0043] In summary, the present invention is based on the fact that when there is a disease or function change in a certain part of the human body, the metabolism of the blood, cell tissue and organs there will change, which is manifested as an increase or decrease in local body temperature, and the temperature change often occurs earlier than the lesion. By utilizing this characteristic, the temperature of the scrotum is accurately measured through infrared thermal imaging technology, so as to identify the possible risk probability of varicocele, and combine other physiological data (such as age, height, weight, etc.) to infer the probability of suffering from varicocele, screen out the susceptible population of varicocele, intervene in advance, reduce the incidence of varicocele, and protect the fertility of the high-incidence population.
