Q: can varicoceles form because of restrictive clothing or over heated testicles? how likely they cause infertility?

: Varicocele is a congenital condition which usually becomes noticeable after age 10. Subfertility is expected in approximately 2.3% of affected males, who have grade 3 varicocele. This is a surgically correctable condition, and early surgical correction allows affected testicle to catch up growth and maximizes chance for fertility.
