The exact pathophysiology of varicocele and the subsequent alteration of spermatogenesis has been the subject of much debate. Despite an enormous amount of literature on the subject, the appropriate management of varicocele in the adolescent patient population has not yet been clearly elucidated. While not every male with varicocele will be subfertile, the possibility potentially lends credence to early diagnosis for those in whom treatment will have an impact.
精索静脉曲张的确切病理生理学和随后的生精功能改变一直是争论的主题。尽管有大量关于这个主题的文献，但青少年患者精索静脉曲张的适当治疗方法尚未明确。虽然不是每个精索静脉曲张的男性都会不育，但对于那些治疗可能会产生影响的患者，早期诊断的可能性提供了可信度。
