| Core Tip |
Adolescent varicocele, a complex and often controversial condition, affects up to 20% of teenage males. This minireview examines the etiopathogenesis, diagnostic challenges, and the evolving role of testicular volume asymmetry and semen analysis in informing management. By synthesizing current evidence, we provide practical, risk-stratified recommendations for observation and surgical intervention, including subinguinal microsurgical varicocelectomy. The article highlights critical gaps in adolescent-specific research and proposes future directions to safeguard long-term fertility and testicular health. |
