Core Tip	Varicocele is known as one of the main causes of male infertility. However, many controversies exist regarding the effect of varicocele on male reproductive potential, which patients to treat and whether repair leads to an improvement of the fertility status. Non-invasive imaging modalities, including functional sonography and magnetic resonance imaging, might provide useful information on the early damage of testicular structure by varicoceles, therefore helping clinicians target repair efforts to those men who will benefit from varicocele treatment.
