Testosterone and Varicocele

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2016
Varicocele is defined as an excessive dilation of the pampiniform plexus. The association between varicocele and infertility has been well-established as evidenced by negative effects on spermatogenesis. Accumulating evidence now suggests that varicocele presents a pantesticular insult, with resultant impairment of Leydig cell function. The presence of

Treatment of Varicoceles

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
To the Editor.— The article on "Balloon Occlusion of the Internal Spermatic Vein for the Treatment of Varicoceles" by Patrick C. Walsh, MD, and Robert I. White, MD (1981; 246:1701), is indeed interesting. This technique of using a detachable balloon to occlude the internal spermatic vein to cure varicocele is ingenious and obviously effective. However,
