What causes testicular varicocele?

What causes varicocele? Unlikely to be "genetically faulty" valves.

Nutcracker syndrome causing varicocele.

The popular belief is that faulty vein valves disrupt normal blood flow and pool blood in the pampiniform plexus veins, stretching them and causing varicocele to develop. However, this is a very old and outdated theory. Since then, many advancements have been made to varicocele theory; scientists have found many other explanations for varicocele development. These explanations mainly involve increase in blood pressure, impairment of blood flow, and impaired healing. Therefore, contrary to the popular belief, varicocele is a complex and multidimensional disorder, and there are many risk-increasing factors for its development.


Do not buy into the idea that varicocele is a genetic disorder! You are not born with malfunctioning valves. Rather, your valves function fine, however, after they are put under excessive stress, they begin to “malfunction”. That sounds like lifestyle factors to me.
Lifestyle factors cause excess stress on the testicular veins. Some lifestyle factors force blood to reflux and pool in the varicocele. Pooled blood brings with it testosterone reflux and burdens the vein walls with excess pressure and toxicity. This leads to bodily responses that increase the vein’s thickness and diameter.

Furthermore, blood pooling means stagnant blood. Stagnant blood contains toxins and oxidizing agents that damage the valves. Over a period of months to years, this damage causes valve malfunction and degeneration. For most people, this is a reversible process, and the earlier you start, the better.

Even though we find faulty valves in about 65% of those with varicocele, we must note that this merely implies correlation and not causation. A genetic disorder is not likely to be the cause of faulty valves. Faulty valves are more a symptom of, than the cause of varicocele development.

Furthermore, scientific evidence suggests that varicocele grade and bilaterality are not heritable. The implication is that nurture factors play a critical role in the development of the varicocele.
