Varicocele is found to be caused by defective venous valves in the veins within scrotum.This venous valve is called the pampiniform venous plexus. It is network of small veins, that surrounds each testicular artery.In addition to its function in venous return from the testis,it also plays a role in the thermal regulation of the testis.
