Is varicocele more common in one testicle than the other?

Yes, varicoceles are more common on the left side. This is because the anatomical structure of the veins on the left side differs from the right, making them more susceptible to blood pooling and increased pressure.

In rare cases, varicoceles can appear on both sides. If a varicocele is detected on the right side alone, it may require additional examination to rule out any underlying causes, as isolated right-sided varicoceles are less common and can sometimes indicate other medical issues.
