Probably not: Probably not, but check w/your urologist. Was there damage to both testicles or just one? If just one, then you have a spare and should be ok>.

No, but...: Performing varicocelectomy for poor testicular growth (or "atrophy") for males in puberty / adolescence may help improve its future post-operative growth, but will definitely not reverse its varicocele-ralated change, thus in conforming: life is a one-way street of accumulation, modification, and continuation from inception to eternity.
