What Causes Varicocele

The Genetic Myth: Not Just Faulty Valves!

The current popular belief is faulty valves cause varicocele. However, this is FALSE. It may be true that 70% of people with varicocele have faulty valves, but this is merely a correlation. With scientific advancement, we now know that vein valve damage originates from the same mechanisms that cause the varicocele to develop. Moreover, the varicocele itself also contributes damaging the valves. 

Think about it this way: Varicocele affects about 25% of people, 40% of which experience fertility issues. This is a very large number of people! Therefore, there is large demand for diagnosis and cure. If faulty valves exist as a genetic disorder, it would be easy to know exactly who will develop varicocele by screening infants. But, there is currently no way to predict who will develop varicocele. Furthermore, there is no relationship between paternal and offspring varicocele.

The Many Causes of Varicocele

Current scientific knowledge states that a complex of risk increasing factors cause varicocele to develop. This means multiple factors are responsible. As it turns out, most of these factors relate to impairment of blood flow and increased pressure in the torso.

So, if varicocele is not a genetic disorder, then nurture and environmental factors are responsible for its development. Moreover, there must be ways to reduce the stress of these factors. In fact, there are many treatment methods.
