Thirty boys eight to eighteen years of age had a clearly palpable left varicocele. The presenting complaint usually was either an asymptomatic scrotal mass or a scrotal ache after physical exercise. In 77 per cent of the patients the left testis was smaller than its male. All but one of the 17 boys between ages eight and fifteen had a smaller left testis. When the varicocele is symptomatic, presents as a prominent mass, or where growth of the left testicle lags behind that of its mate, surgical correction of the varicocele is recommended.
30名年龄在8至18岁的男孩有明显可触及的左侧精索静脉曲张。主要症状通常是无症状的阴囊肿块或体育锻炼后的阴囊疼痛。77%的患者左侧睾丸小于对侧睾丸。在17名8至15岁的男孩中，除1人外，其余所有人的左侧睾丸都较小。当精索静脉曲张有症状、表现为突出肿块或左侧睾丸生长落后于对侧时，建议对精索静脉曲张进行手术矫正。
