Okay, let's tackle this question about varicocele. The user wants me to explain why a particular option is incorrect. First, I need to recall the core concepts of varicocele. Varicocele is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. It's more common on the left side due to anatomical factors like the left testicular vein draining into the renal vein at a right angle, which can cause backflow. The right side usually drains into the inferior vena cava directly, which is why left-sided varicoceles are more common.

Now, the question is asking which statement is not true. The correct answer is the one that's false. Let's think about common misconceptions. One thing I remember is that varicocele can lead to infertility because of increased scrotal temperature and possible hormonal changes. Also, they're usually palpable when the patient is standing and may collapse when lying down. Another point is that they're often asymptomatic but can cause discomfort.

Looking at possible incorrect options: If one says varicocele is more common on the right, that's wrong. Another incorrect statement might be that it's associated with testicular atrophy—actually, varicocele can cause testicular atrophy over time, so if an option says it doesn't, that's incorrect. Also, maybe a statement about treatment being always surgical is wrong because some cases are managed with observation.

For the clinical pearl, I should note that left-sided varicoceles are more common and that the "bag of worms" is a classic finding. Also, the association with infertility is important.

Now, structuring the explanation. The core concept is the anatomy and pathology of varicocele. Then, explaining why the correct answer is right (e.g., if the false statement is about right-sided prevalence). Then, each wrong option's error. Finally, the clinical tip. Need to keep it concise and within the character limit.

**Core Concept** Varicocele is a dilatation of the pampiniform plexus veins within the spermatic cord, most commonly affecting the left testicle due to anatomical drainage into the renal vein. It is associated with infertility, testicular atrophy, and hormonal imbalances due to impaired testicular thermoregulation.

**Why the Correct Answer is Right** The statement "**Varicocele is more common on the right side**" is false. Left-sided varicoceles predominate because the left testicular vein drains into the renal vein at a right angle, increasing venous pressure and backflow. The right testicular vein drains directly into the inferior vena cava, reducing the risk of varicocele formation on the right.

**Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect**
**Option A:** *Varicocele is palpable as a "bag of worms" on standing* is correct. This classic finding occurs due to tortuous, dilated veins.
**Option B:** *Varicocele can cause infertility* is correct. Elevated scrotal temperature and oxidative stress impair spermatogenesis.
**Option C:** *Left-sided varicocele is more common* is correct. Anatomical drainage patterns explain this left-sided predominance.

**Clinical Pearl / High-Yield Fact** Remember the **"left testicular vein rule"**: Left varicoceles are 10x

✓ Correct Answer: A. Common on the right side
