Parital obstruction of left renal vein leads to production of varicocele in a fairly short period, i.e.; even within a month. Collateral venous channels play an important role in the formation and degree of varicocele. Varicocele has got a depressive effect on the spermatogenesis on the side of varicocele as well as on opposite testes. Leydig cells and interstitial tissue flourish at the expense of gonadal elements. The factors affecting the spermatogenesis are different from those of other tissues of the testes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
