Can a varicocele cause testicular atrophy?

Yes, varicoceles can cause testicular atrophy, where the testicle shrinks in size. The exact reason is unclear, but it's thought that the pooling of blood in the enlarged veins increases testicular temperature, affecting sperm production and hormonal activity.

This prolonged exposure to heat and blood stagnation may damage the tissues, causing the testicle to shrink over time. Treating the varicocele can sometimes reverse or halt atrophy, but early intervention is generally more successful in preventing permanent testicular damage.
