  • Title: Varicocele and puberty--the critical factor?
    Author: Wyllie GG.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1985 Apr; 57(2):194-6. PubMed ID: 3986456.
    Abstract:
    In some boys varicocele develops before puberty, when the testis is immature and vulnerable. Based on testicular size, evidence suggests that the time of development of a varicocele in relation to puberty may be the critical factor in the subsequent development of infertility. The recognition and treatment of an early-developing varicocele may help to reduce the infertility associated with this condition.
