[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 36116, member: 13064"] That is one hell of a "hypothesis". I've had left testicular vericocele since age 18. 90%+ of all vericoceles effect the LEFT testicle. Why? Simply look at the anatomy of the LEFT gonadal/testicular vein. It runs up from the testes to the left renal vein where it makes a sharp 90 degree turn. This is where the impingement begins - pressure increases behind the impingement and the most vulnerable veins are in the pampinoform plexus. Conversely, the vericose veins draining the RIGHT testicle run upward and into the inferior vena cava at a 20 degree angle. Thus no impingement. Vericoceles do impact sperm count and testosterone production. It is one of the causes of Primary hypogonadism, which is my condition. In studies of men who had their vericocele surgically corrected to improve fertility - not only does sperm count improve, but testosterone also goes up by about 140 on average. That is a big bump. My morning T levels were 340, so just having the vericocele surgically repaired could get my levels to 480 range. Note 15% of teens have left vericocele, and that percentage goes up as we age. It is estimated that 80% of 70-year-old men have a testicular vericocele, and again 90% of those will be on the left side. [/QUOTE]
