The Endocrinology of Varicoceles
Journal of Urology, 1988There is good evidence of an associated abnormality in testicular hormone production and spermatogenesis in some men with varicoceles. This abnormality can be demonstrated with dynamic tests of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis and by measuring seminal plasma androgen levels.

Varicocele is clinically defined as an abnormal dilatation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus with continuous or intermittent reflux of the venous blood. It is actually considered the most common correctable cause of male infertility, even though the mechanisms responsible for infertility are still unclear.

Pediatrics, 1987
In Reply.— Until objective guidelines are established, I would be opposed to a more aggressive approach to the adolescent varicocele because not all of these children are at risk for future problems. At the present time, we are primarily concerned about individuals with a large varicocele, particularly when there is volume loss of the ...

Current Urology Reports, 2013
Accumulating evidence suggests that varicocele, long associated with male infertility, is also a risk factor for low testosterone levels. The exact pathophysiology of the negative effects of varicocele on testicular function is not well understood, but theories include venous stasis, increased testicular temperature, oxidative stress, and resulting ...

Postgraduate Medicine, 1969
Varicocele is a common problem in military medicine. Usually it is effectively treated with scrotal support and reassurance. Intravenous pyelography is not indicated as a routine procedure in evaluation, but is indicated if an apparent varicocele is of sudden onset or occurs after the age of 30 years or on the right side.

Varicocele, even when it is found on one side, may be a causative factor in infertility. When indicated, varicocelectomy results in improvement of semen quality in about 60% of the men so treated. However, the presence of a varicocele is not an incontrovertible indication for an operation.

Clinical evidence, 2007
Varicocele is estimated to affect 10-15% of men and adolescent boys. It usually occurs only on the left side, and is often asymptomatic. There is little evidence that varicocele reduces male fertility, although it is found in 12% of male partners of couples presenting with infertility, and in 25% of men with abnormal semen analysis.We conducted a ...

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,

Varicoceles are present in about 15% of males. In spite of substantial research, uncertainty remains about etiology, pathophysiology and treatment modalities. Furthermore, there is no consensus about the possible association between varicoceles and male infertility. The purpose of this review is to shed light on these aspects.
