Left ovarian vein opens into the left renal vein, thus, it can easily give rise to collaterals preventing further damaged if lack of blood supply.

Right Ovarian and Testicular Vein opens into IVC. This is the reason why in males, Varicocele are more common on left side; since left testic vein drains into Left renal vein (smaller caliber than IVC), so blood is backed-up and cause varicocele.

I think I know why the picture's got varicocelle on the right side. Th most common cause of right side varicocelle is renal cell carcinoma that has extended in the right renal vein->vena cava and obstructed the right testicular artery opening
