"While genitourinary complaints have been well studied in cyclists [7], the negative effects of the cyclist's physical position and the resultant perineal hypoperfusion should be relatively obvious. Certain studies have also reported up to 30% of athletes being diagnosed with varicocele, representing a significantly higher incidence than in the general population, and up to 60–80% of body-builders are recorded as being affected. The incidence of varicocele has been shown to increase with the number of hours spent training [8]."
