35 percent of all cases of primary infertility (first pregnancy attempt) and 80-percent of secondary infertility (attempts at pregnancy following a successful impregnation) are due to varicoceles.

"People often forget or often don't realize that the testes have two purposes," Dr. Goldstein said.

"One is the production of the sex cells (sperm), and the other is to produce testosterone," he added.

Dr. Goldstein helped to invent the microsurgery procedure now considered the standard in the treatment and removal of varicoceles.

Varicoceles begin forming at puberty and most doctors do not screen patients during routine check-ups.
