See answer: Varicocele is thought to raised rom "back pressure" from the central venous system where the pressure is higher, to the testicle via the testicular (or gonadal) vein. By cutting off this connection, the pressure on the testis is reduced. There are many other venous collaterals whereby the testis can return blood.
