Impact of varicocele on male infertility
- On 29/09/2025
What is a varicocele?
Varicocele represents a significant varicose dilation (varices) of the veins of the spermatic cord, which are located in the scrotum, above and around each testicle.
This expansion results from a malfunction of the valves present in the veins. The blood can no longer flow up the veins to reach the larger veins (the It is estimated that 15% of the male population and 4 out of 10 men who seek consultation for issues of subfertility or infertility would be affected. A direct link between varicocele and infertility is mentioned, as a probable increase in local temperature and relative hypoxia of the testicle due to venous stasis can lead to more abnormalities in spermatogenesis. It is very rare to encounter cases in children under 10 years old. However, after the age of 19, occurrences become increasingly frequent. left renal vein and the inferior vena cava).

Main causes of varicocele:
- Venous valvular insufficiency
Normally, the testicular veins are equipped with valves that prevent blood from flowing back down.
If these valves are faulty or absent, the blood stagnates and leads to a dilation of the veins (varicocele).
- Anatomical particularity
The left spermatic vein flows perpendicularly into the left renal vein, which creates higher pressure (unlike the right one that drains directly into the inferior vena cava).
That's why varicoceles are more common on the left.
- Increase in abdominal pressure
Intense physical exertion, carrying heavy loads, chronic constipation, chronic cough (promote venous reflux).
- Congenital factors
Fragility of the venous wall or developmental abnormalities of the venous system.
- Secondary venous compression (rare, so-called secondary varicocele)
Renal tumor, abdominal mass, or ganglion that compresses the renal vein or spermatic vein.
In this case, the varicocele can appear suddenly, especially on the right side, and should raise concerns about a serious cause.

Symptoms of varicocele
The left side is more often affected than the right (on the left side, the spermatic veins (testicular veins = gonadal veins) join the left renal vein, while on the right side they join the inferior vena cava). It is located on the left in 90% of cases due to the absence of a valve at the junction of the left spermatic vein with the left renal vein, promoting the occurrence of venous thrombosis on the left. It can be bilateral in 5% of cases, or isolated on the right in 5% of cases as well.
It is possible that at the end of a hot day, a subtle heaviness in the scrotum may be felt, or a slight testicular pain during exertion, or discomfort during sexual intercourse. Most often, the modes of revelation are multiple and the clinical diagnosis is not obvious at the beginning.
On the other hand, a varicocele at an advanced stage can increase the volume of the scrotum to the point that it causes a passive limitation of various hip movements, with pain of varying intensity, intermittent, radiating mainly to the inner thigh and responding well to usual analgesics.

Diagnostic
If it is clinical, we will note an impulsivity of a more prominent spermatic cord upon palpation during a coughing effort, the affected testicle gives the impression of a "bag of wriggling worms." Doppler ultrasound is the preferred examination, it can highlight the slowing of blood flow at this level, indicating valvular insufficiency.
Complications and treatment of varicocele
Evolution of the disease
The evolution is considered variable. Some patients will feel no discomfort. Others experience permanent or progressively omnipresent discomfort. Finally, the varicocele may only cause problems at certain times.
An influence of varicocele on fertility is discussed. It would seem, nowadays, that in the majority of cases fertility would remain normal or slightly reduced. Nevertheless, it has been noted that varicoceles treatment can in some cases allow a return to fertility. In the absence of any other cause, surgical treatment of the varicocele may be indicated to address infertility.

Mains complications :
- Male infertility
Varicocele increases testicular temperature and disrupts sperm production.
It can cause a decrease in the number, motility, and quality of sperm (oligospermia, asthenospermia, teratospermia).
In some severe cases →azoospermia (total absence of sperm).
Testicular atrophy
The testicle on the affected side may decrease in size, lose its normal consistency, which leads to a decline in its function.
- Chronic pain
Feeling of heaviness, discomfort, or dull pain in the scrotum, especially after prolonged standing or exertion.
- Hypogonadism (rare)
A significant and prolonged varicocele can reduce testosterone production, leading to decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or fatigue.
- Recurrence after treatment
Even after surgery or embolization, a varicocele can reappear if all the dilated veins have not been properly treated.

Medical / surgical treatment
There is no medication that "cures" a varicocele. The treatment is mainly surgical or interventional when there is:
Confirmed male infertility,
Chronic pain,
Testicular atrophy,
Bilateral or significant varicocele.

Main medical options:
Surgery (varicocelectomy)
Ligation and section of the dilated veins to restore good circulation.
Can be done thru open surgery, laparoscopy, or microsurgery.
Venous embolization (interventional radiology)
Introduction of a small catheter into the vein to block abnormal veins.
Minimally invasive method, quick recovery.
Pain management
Simple analgesics (paracetamol, anti-inflammatories in case of discomfort).
Wearing a scrotal suspensory (supportive underwear) to reduce heaviness.
