It's difficult to say whether it will cause infertility as there is a lot of conflicting evidence. I had mine treated successfully by varicocele embolization when I was 19 because it was causing me pain. If you're not in any pain you may be better just to monitor it and not get treated until it's necessary. It may be worth you getting some tests done to see if it's affecting your testosterone levels. It's easily treated though so either way don't worry. Good luck
