title: A rational approach to the management of varicocele-associated nonobstructive azoospermia.
abstract: A consensus needs to be reached on a rational approach to infertile men with varicocele-associated nonobstructive azoospermia. Future studies are warranted to understand the mechanism behind the variable influence of varicocele on testicular function, which causes partial or complete damage of spermatogenesis in some cases and leaves it unaltered in others.
